Chapter 169
“The gift was already prepared, just didn’t have time to find a suitable wrapping.”
Terrence’s thin lips curved slightly, “Okay, I’ll take it.”
What she made herself shouldn’t be expensive, so he can accept it.
He took the cloth bag, it felt a bit heavy in his hand.
After finishing up, Jarred slowly started the ear and drove away from the Trevino’s house.
Terrence watched Lizzie’s figure getting smaller and smaller through the rearview mirror, until it completely disappeared at the end of the road.
He then looked away and glanced down at the bundle lying quietly by his side.
He used his slender fingers to open the four corners of the cloth, and a delicate fighter jet model appeared in his palm.
The model wasn’t big, but the details were extremely realistic.
The gentle smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cold look in his eyes.
Jarred, sitting in the driver’s seat, sensed something unusual about Terrence and couldn’t help but ask, “Commander, what did Ms. Trevino give you?”
Terrence’s face was unusually cold and serious, his eyes deep, and he

didn’t answer.

Terrence’s hand shook, and the opened cloth bag revealed model, with one corner of the cloth covering it.
Jarred keenly sensed the low pressure surrounding him, quickly looking ahead and avoiding eye contact or saying too much.
Terrence gently rubbed the fighter jet model inside the cloth, and said in a cold tone, “Bring up all of Lizzie’s past records!”
Jarred’s expression changed, “Yes.”
Late at night, Terrence carefully went through Lizzie’s documents three times, and there were no issues at all.
His office phone rang, and he picked it up casually.
Oswaldo’s excited voice rang out, he didn’t even wait for Terrence, quickly asking a series of questions, “Hey? Terrence! Is Lizzie’s issue resolved? Has she been reinstated? When can she transfer to the Confidential Laboratory?”
He waited for a long time without getting a response, glanced at the microphone in his hand, and then tapped it.
“Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Is this phone broken or something?”
“I can hear you, she couldn’t go for now, her information still needs to be investigated.”
Oswaldo got upset right away, “Hasn’t it been investigated clearly enough already? What else needs to be investigated!”
Terrence’s deep gaze fell on the fighter jet model that Lizzie had just given him, placed next to the documents.

I was wondering how she knew so much about the newly developed fighter jet model, she could even make a perfect replica!
After Alvaro received a call from Lizzie, he was first stunned, then burst into laughter.
After he and Jasmin got married, he brought that woman home.
But Jasmin was restless, always talking about her professor brother, bossing him around at his house, not listening at all.
Although he had a professor as a big uncle, his dad was respected in the village, which was good for his family. But he was fed up with Jasmin’s arrogant personality.
Now that Theron got fired and is no longer a professor, he finally found an outlet for his emotions!
He came back home with a dark face and didn’t say a word.
As soon as he walked into the room, a pillow came flying at him.
“Who called you?! Was it Lizzie?”
Those who can make phone calls to find someone are only city people.
Who did Alvaro know in town? Just one person, Lizzie!
She didn’t think Lizzie would go for Alvaro, the lame guy, but that didn’t stop her from using Lizzie as a reason to argue with Alvaro!
The anger swirling in Alvaro’s eyes, he smirked evilly, “Yes.”
This answer caught Jasmin off guard, but before she could get angry, Alvaro’s big hand, like a fan, suddenly swung over.
“Pap!”

Jasmin was hit and stumbled, her check burning with pain.
She covered her face, looked at Alvaro in disbelief, and then shouted hysterically, “Are you crazy! Alvaro, did you hit me? I’m going to tell Theron, let me – ah!”
Alvaro got another slap.
“Looking for Theron? Theron is no longer a professor! And besides, I can hit my own wife, he can’t do anything about it!”
After Jasmin got hit by Alvaro, she ran back to her mother’s house crying.
Vanessa was feeling upset and cried a lot ever since she found out she had to marry Alvaro. She cried on and off, and on the day of her return home, she cried all day.
This time, she came back crying again, Vanessa didn’t take it seriously at first.
Until Jasmin said, “I don’t know where Alvaro heard the nonsense from. He said my brother wasn’t a professor and then he hit me. Mom, look at my face…”
Jasmin leaned in, but was pushed away by the pale–faced Vanessa.
