Chapter 039 Are You Interested in Your Wife?
When Hubert went back to his company, he instructed his secretary before he even entered the office, "Tell the Assistant General to come to my office."
The secretary called General Assistant Morgan Swan on the intercom, "Mr. Swan, Mr. Donovan wants to see you and asks you to come upstairs immediately."
Morgan didn't ask any further questions. He just said yes and hung up the telephone.
A few minutes later, Morgan knocked on the CEO's office and walked in.
Hubert was already working on files. When he saw Morgan enter, he put down his pen and made an inviting gesture toward him.
"Something urgent?"
Morgan and Hubert were classmates. Hubert knew his ability very well. Before he graduated, Hubert signed him as an elite to the Donovan Group. And after he made achievements, he became Hubert's Assistant General step by step. He was deeply trusted by Hubert.
"It's not urgent. But it's private. I want to talk to you alone."
Morgan sat down, smiled, and said, "You can talk to me on the phone."
Although he was an Assistant General, he would occasionally take care of some personal businesses that Hubert asked him to handle. Morgan was used to it.
"Can you help me to do an investigation?"
"Come on. I've investigated so many things for you. So, I won't care if there's one more or not. Just name it."
The Swan family was quite mysterious. It was also a rich family. But it was extremely low-key. It was even more low-key than the Donovan family. So, few people knew that the Swan family was also a super-rich family.
Morgan was not the eldest son of his generation. So, he didn't have to take over the position of the leader of the family. But he was able to speak among his brothers and won the trust of the head of the family. The Swan family was the best at spying on the information. It could be said that their information network covered several big cities.
Especially in Watenll. If they wanted to know about something, there was no way that they couldn't find it out.
Of course, not everyone could have the chance to use the power of the Swan family. Hubert and Morgan were close friends. Also, Hubert was Morgan's boss. The current Master of the Swan family appreciated Hubert. So, every time Hubert asked for something, the Master of the Swan family would do his best to help Hubert.
"My grandmother is always nagging me about marrying her lifesaver, I told you about that."
"Well, didn't you marry her? What? Your grandmother has another lifesaver and wants you to marry another one?"
Morgan was teasing him.
Hubert had a speechless look, "One wife is the limit. The men in our family will never have a second woman other than our wives."
"You're interested in your wife? And you want me to help you investigate her past?"
"Well, it's not like I'm interested. It's just I think since we have gotten married, I need to know more about her. Just help me find out her family background."
Teresa told him some things about the Heller family, but not all. So, he wanted Morgan to help him find out more. Then, he could be more prepared to help Teresa when she was in trouble.
'Well, I should be calmer from now on. I shouldn't be so impulsive and misunderstand others.' He thought. Just like he had wronged Teresa. Now, he felt bad about it.
"Actually, you can get the information from her gradually during the time you spend with her."
Morgan thought this was very simple.
If he was going to investigate it, he didn't even need to use the source of his family. He should just send a few subordinates to snoop around. Then, it would be clear.
As far as he knew, Hubert's wife was a very ordinary girl. She had a kind heart and saved Vivian's life. And then Grandma Vivian took a fancy to her.
The girl fancied by Grandma Vivian must have a very good character. Morgan bet it wouldn't take long for his old classmate to be captured by that girl.
"She might meet some trouble lately. And I can help her if I figure out the causes and consequences in advance."
Morgan had more interest in talking about this topic, "What? Are you falling for her? You even start to protect her now."
"Whether I love her or not, she's my wife now. Even if she is only my nominal wife, she is still my woman. When she is bullied, of course, I have to take action. Not to protect her, but to protect my reputation and dignity."
Morgan chuckled, "What a good self-deceiving statement."
"Morgan!"
Hubert was quite a bit annoyed because of embarrassment.
He was really doing it only for his own reputation.
Teresa was his wife. If Teresa was bullied, it would be a slap in his face. And he wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Fine, fine. I won't laugh at you. You are doing it for your reputation and dignity. Okay, I will check it out for you. Your wife's name is Teresa Heller, right? In fact, you can ask Dean LaRoche to help you. I am your General Special Assistant. My duty is to take care of this company. I am as busy as a bee. I don't even have time to drink water. This is not something difficult. And you actually add this to my work."
Hubert got up and went to pour him a glass of water. "Well, then you should drink a glass of water now. Or, you will say you are too busy to drink a glass of water."
"I've been sitting here for so long. And you think of pouring me a glass of water just now."
"I thought you were not thirsty. If you were thirsty, you would have poured water by yourself. What kind of relationship do we have? Have you ever been pretentious in front of me?"
Morgan giggled.
"The zip of Dean's mouth is not as firm as yours."
"That's true. Dean can be a big mouth sometimes."
Morgan felt proud and delighted at this.
"Please remember to check out all the information on everyone in the Heller family." After hearing from Teresa that the Heller family was all shameless, Hubert had a feeling that both Teresa and Leila would be in trouble.
He didn't have to take care of Leila. But Teresa was his wife. He ought to help her.
If he wanted to help Teresa, he had to know the situation of his opponent. As the saying said, "Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories."
He never fought a battle that he was not sure of.
No matter what tricks the extremely shameless family put up, he would not let Teresa lose with him around.
"Doesn't your wife have only one sister left?"
"She's got a bunch of other extremely greedy, shameless relatives in her hometown."
Morgan, "Oh, no wonder you have to cover your identity tightly and get married secretly. Having extremely shameless relatives is quite troublesome."
Hubert didn't respond.
He covered his identity and married secretly, not because he was afraid of being disturbed by Teresa's shameless relatives. He meant to check out Teresa's personality. After all, he labeled Teresa as a scheming woman when his grandmother kept lobbying him to marry her.
He seemed to have misunderstood Teresa with a preconceived prejudice.
But he felt that he needed to examine Teresa's personality.
If Teresa was really worthy of his lifelong tender love, he would naturally confess everything to her and then take back that agreement they had signed. In that case, he would love to be a real couple with Teresa, growing old together.
"Is there anything else?"
Morgan took a few sips of warm water and asked.
"No."
"You can go back to your work."
Morgan put down his glass of water and got up. As he was about to leave, Hubert suddenly asked him, "Morgan, if you misunderstood a girl, how would you apologize?"
"Why did God give mouths to humans? Say 'I'm sorry' with your mouth. Do I have to teach you the lines you should say when you apologize?"
Hubert, "..."
"Oh, I see, you are asking me if you should send some gifts? Well, girls like flowers, jewelry, perfume, skincare products, etc. As long as you give her a gift, she will know what you want to express."
