Chapter 614 He Is Protecting Someone

"Competitor?" Pierre was slightly surprised. "What do you mean?" "Just a business competitor." "Why did your grandma show up, then?" Pierre found his answer hard to believe.

"That's a coincidence. My grandmother was worried because I stayed out late, so she came to the hotel to see me. I told her where I was going before I went out, so that was why she found us."

It's a good explanation, but I don't buy it. "Tell me who you crossed. I'll take them out. I don't want my wife to get involved in your problem."

Jason smiled. "It's fine. I'll handle this. I don't want to get myself into trouble either. Don't worry. I won't let them off the hook, not when Mrs. Fowler has been hurt." Pierre wanted to ask him something, but Jason stood up. "Tell Mrs. Fowler I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused her. I'll be taking my leave now."

Good. I don't want her to flirt with you anyway. "Show Mr. Murray the exit," Pierre ordered, then a servant sent Jason off.

Selena came down the moment he left. She heard everything, but she didn't show up, since Pierre would get jealous.

"Good morning." She went up to him. "Something's off."

"You heard everything, didn't you?"

Selena nodded. "I think he's hiding something. Of course, it's normal for a business competitor to sabotage him, but something about his grandma's appearance is off. It's too much of a coincidence. Even if it was, how did she even get the attendant to open the door?"

Pierre frowned. "I don't believe a word he said. I'll look into this myself." He couldn't tell Jason what to do, but he'd investigate the case, especially when Selena was involved.

"But why did he lie anyway? He doesn't look like the kind of guy who'd lie. I mean, he's a gentleman." Selena felt Pierre shooting her a nasty glare the moment she said that. Oh no. Why did I go and call him a gentleman?

"Did you say he's a gentleman? I think he's just a hypocrite!" Pierre glared at her. "You like men like that, don't you?"

"No, of course not. I don't like sissies like that. I like manly men like you."

Pierre didn't look the least bit happy. "I don't think he's a sissy."

"Don't change the topic. Why did he lie anyway?"

"Because he wants to bed you, but his plan got foiled, so he's looking for an excuse." Pierre was still annoyed.

"No. He could have done that the moment I got into the room. There was no need to put on a show with me to bait the culprit. He didn't know about the incense either, nor did he expect his grandmother to show up." Selena held her chin as she pondered about the case.

"There are two reasons for a person to lie. One, he wants to protect himself, or two, he has someone he wants to protect."

"You're saying he's trying to keep someone safe? He knows who did it, but he's keeping them under wraps?"

Pierre nodded. "I'll replace out about it no matter what."
