    Chapter 407


    That hand ain’t Bartlett’s.


    Angel jerked her head up in surprise, only to see Mr. nchet, whose face was as deep and enigmatic


    as a millennium–old cier, right in front of her.


    The sudden appearance of this man was so imposing that Angel couldn’t help but take a step back.


    “Mr. nchet!”


    Theo bowed his head, opened the clothing pack, and sure enough, the clothes were new with the tag


    still on. This could be used for Ellinor in a pinch.


    Bartlett looked at Theo and chuckled, “Theo, you finally showed up.”


    “Hmm, where’s my wife?”


    “She’s inside, drenched from head to toe. I was worried she’d catch a cold, so I brought her to a guest


    room to dry off.”


    “Thanks.” Theo said with a squint, “But next time, don’t take other people’s wives to any room without


    asking. No one needs you to be that considerate.


    Bartlett’s face stiffened for a moment, then heughed again, “Theo, I didn’t mean to. I just saw Ellinor


    walk in all wet and felt bad for her. Besides, if you hadn’t chosen to save your benefactor over your wife


    today, I wouldn’t have had the chance to help her, right?”


    After two seconds of silence, Theo said coldly. “If you don’t know what’s going on, keep your nose out


    of it.”


    “Alright, I admit I was being a busybody. Bartlett shrugged.


    Theo didn’t respond to Bartlett anymore. He took off his expensive watch and casually handed it to


    Bartlett’s secretary, Angel.


    “I didn’t bring any cash today. This should be enough to buy your outfit. If you think it’s not enough,


    come to the nchet Corporation tomorrow and ask


    my assistant.”


    With that, Theo turned and walked straight into the guest room, where Ellinor was.


    Angel was stunned as she took the luxury brand centennial edition men’s watch Mr. nchet had


    casually handed her,


    This watch alone was worth more than her retirement pay, let alone an outfit!


    The watch in her hand was too valuable, and Angel was at a loss. She felt she couldn’t ept it and


    nervously looked at her boss. “Mr. Rex…”


    “Just take it! It’s a collectible watch. If you don’t like it, you can sell it and buy a new outfit for yourself”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Angel’s attention shifted from the watch to Bartlett. Her face was full of curiosity. “Mr. Rex, was the


    woman who fell into the water Mr. nchet’s wife?”


    “Yeah, that’s her


    “I heard Mr. nchet married a very ordinary girl. But how could an ordinary girl make Mr. nchet


    care about her so much?”


    For that seemingly ordinary girl, he was even willing to exchange an expensive watch for a set of


    clothes.


    “No, that girl is anything but ordinary.” Bartlett said, his eyes twinkling with amusement and deeper


    meanings.


    Angel was slightly taken aback, feeling both surprised and confused by her boss. Today, Bartlett


    seemed different. His usually casual yetpetent eyes seemed to hint at some sort of excitement.
