Chapter 160
After Theron moved his stuff into his dorm, he got a command to go on a mission.
Johanna thought of the day of the wedding, Theron looked at her comparingly with Lizzie, and jokingly said in his wife’s tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything at home.”
Theron was taken aback, he vaguely felt like Lizzie had said the same thing to him before.
But he also knew it was impossible, it’s just that feeling that made his heart ache so much.
Johanna’s smile slowly faded from her face, she clenched her fists tightly, she was sure Theron must be thinking about Lizzie now!
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, forced a smile, and said, “I was just practicing in advance. I was afraid that after the baby was born, things would be awkward between us and it would affect the child.”
Theron nodded, opened his mouth, and wanted to say “I’ll leave it to you at home.” It seemed like he had said this many times before, so familiar that he could say it without thinking. But now, facing Johanna, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
“Okay, thank you.”
Theron dropped the polite yet distant words, turned around and left. After he left, Johanna was so angry that she almost smashed the house! They are all married now, even if Theron still has feelings for Lizzie,

he should let go!
Johanna didn’t feel well in her stomach, she took a deep breath and felt much better.
No worries, Theron probably couldn’t accept it yet, but with time, he’ll get over it. She’ll definitely replace Lizzie in his heart!
Johanna rolled up her sleeves, grabbed a broom and a cloth, and cleaned up carefully.
Just as Johanna was immersed in the illusory satisfaction brought by her busyness, the courtyard gate was heavily knocked on.
Adrienne’s anxious voice came from outside the courtyard – “Hanna, there’s an investigator from Equinox Research Laboratory down here, they want you to go over and help with the investigation.”
The color drained from Johanna’s face in an instant, and the rag in her hand fell to the ground.
She had a strong sense of unease in her heart!
Johanna opened the door and let Adrienne in. She gripped the rag her hand tightly, her head buzzing.

Adrienne’s voice came from a chaos, “Hanna, what’s wrong with you? You look so pale.”
Johanna snapped out of it, “What?”
Adrienne comforted her, “Don’t worry, you’re Mrs. Howland now. At Equinox Research Laboratory, who wouldn’t give Mr. Howland some face? It’s just a routine questioning, just going through the motions.‘
She said, gently touching Johanna’s shoulder.

Johanna forced a smile and nodded.
Adrienne grumbled discontentedly, “Lizzie really knows how to stir things up. She caused a scene at your wedding with Theron and
reported to the Bureau of Investigation. No matter how much she stirs, it doesn’t change the fact that you are now a professor’s wife.”
“Thanks for letting me know, I’ll go over right away.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you for a while.”
“No, thanks.” Johanna clenched her fists, feeling that this investigation was different from the previous ones, and she didn’t want Adrienne to
see.
Adrienne didn’t care about his expression, “No worries, I’ll wait for you. Just in case you run into Lizzie later, she might bully you again.”
Johanna reluctantly nodded, trying to calm the turmoil in her chest. She hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her own copied notes and went to Equinox Research Laboratory with Adrienne.
When she arrived at Equinox Research Laboratory, she was taken to a sealed archive room.
Her heart sank.
When Lizzie was insisting on going to the archives to find evidence, she let Theron know.
Theron just wanted to go to the archive room to destroy the research files left by Lizzie, so there would be proof from Theron, Lizzie wouldn’t be able to explain even if she had ten mouths.
But the archive was closed for some reason at that time, so her plan fell through.

Now that she has just been notified to undergo investigation, the archives have been unsealed, and her inner anxiety has intensified.
Johanna was taken straight to Anton’s office.
She pushed the door open, “Anton.”
At the moment, Anton stood awkwardly on the side of the desk, slightly hunched over, with a clear look of awe on his face.
He heard Johanna’s voice, looked at her, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
And there used to be a tall man sitting behind his large desk.
His face was stern, his jawline sharp as a knife, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s, with a commanding presence that didn’t need anger.
