Chapter 472 Like Your Mother
Janet and Callan walked quickly ahead, while Nathaniel and the others also fell silent and followed
behind.
A man who was as majestic as a lion just now switched to a coward in a second.
Nigel carefully observed Janet’s face. She didn’t look very happy, and there was a hint of impatience in
her eyes.
He remembered the last time he intentionally made trouble for Nathaniel and was scolded by Janet. He
shivered with
fear.
“Jill, you must be thirsty after being out in the sun for so long.”
Nigel leaned over with an attentive smile on his face.
“I’ll go buy you a drink. What do you want to drink? Orange juice, yogurt, or cola?”
The sun was very hot. Janet indeed felt thirsty.
“Orange juice, thank you.”
“Okay!” Nigel agreed. He felt he was back to life.
Nathaniel said bluntly, “I want a bottle of water.”
Nigel glanced at him. “If you want to drink, buy it yourself!”
He hurriedly went to buy something to drink, while Janet and the others continued to patrol.
The track hallway up the mountain had not been finished. Everyone could only take the cable car up
the mountain
where the workers worked.
There was no sound in the confined space. Nathaniel and Chitt looked down on each other. They
simply closed their
eyes to rest.
Janet looked out the window speechlessly, feeling it felt very good to be quiet.
Callan, however, inexplicably felt that the frozen air was full of embarrassment, and looked at Marco for
help.
Marco had long been used to this kind of atmosphere, he looked down at his toes.
He thought, “Young man, just get used to it.”
Callan heaved a sigh of relief as he got off the cable car in seconds, and led the crowd to the
observation deck above
the track
“Ms. Longfellow, Mr. Webster, be careful.”
It was still under construction here. The ground was covered with uneven brick and stone rubble.
As she walked, Janet’s heel got stuck in the crack of the stone. She almost fell.
“Ms. Longfellow, slow down.”
chitt quickly wanted to help her.
At this moment, the exclamation of workers and the harsh sound of metal rubbing suddenly came from
above
everyone’s heads
A few people subconsciously looked over their heads and saw that the huge scaffolding toppled down
without warning. The whole tell towards the position where Janet and others were
Janet’s pupils shrank instantly. Callan shouted out in horror.
Chitt was the closest to Janet. So his first reaction was to pull Janet to the side.
The shelf was very heavy. It fell fast. Even if the people below have reacted, they had no chance to
escape.
Janet was smart, guessing that she would not be able to avoid it, she squatted down decisively and
covered her head with her hands.
This was the best way to protect herself from serious injury.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, the entire shelf was completely smashed to the ground. The dust flew up in an
instant.
Janet slowly opened her closed eyes. She was not hurt at all.
She raised her head. Nathaniel was standing on outside of Janet. At the last moment, he rushed to the
left as fast as he could, protecting her with his body.
Janet immediately stood up and took a quick look at Nathaniel and Chitt. Seeing that they were fine,
she turned to look
at Callan.
Callan was fast. He hid aside as soon as the shelf fell down.
“Janet, are you okay?”
“Ms. Longfellow, how are you doing?”
Nathaniel and Chitt expressed concern at the same time.
Janet had no time to pay attention to them. She shook off Nathaniel’s hand, and coldly beckoned
Callan to go up with her to check the situation.
Nathaniel was defenseless. She threw him directly into Chitt’s arms. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Chitt stretched out his arms reflexively, and the two big men hugged together, looking at each other in
embarrassment.

The scene in front of him was too shocking, Marco was stunned.
Nathaniel and Chitt were also dumbfounded. They stared at each other for a while, then suddenly
pushed each other
away.
Chitt brushed off his sleeve in disgust as if he had touched something unlucky.
Nathaniel’s complexion looked ugly too. He strode after Janet.
Thankfully, there were no workers under when it fell, so there were no casualties at the scene.
When Nathaniel and the others chased to the second floor, Janet was holding something with a serious
expression on
her face.
“Janet, what’s the matter?”
Janet handed him a note with a solemn expression.
Nathaniel took it, and the words on it made his face darken.
“It’s been ages since had a chance to talk, my dear.”
Someone wanted to talk to her.
Such an intimate word, appearing at the moment of a narrow escape, was like an invisible net,
enveloping everyone in
an instant.
Callan had already checked the surroundings and found no suspicious person. And no worker noticed
who put down
the note there.
Chitt also saw the note, his eyes turned cold. And a ruthless murderous aura rose from his body
instantly,
“Block all exits here. All workers stop working and stand by.”
Janet looked at Marco. “Go and check the surveillance here to see if there are any suspicious people
coming in and
out.”
Although the workers here said they didn’t notice it, there would be negligence when they were
concentrating on
work.
Moreover, if the problem was inside the group, it was possible.
Janet looked at the note in her hand, feeling uneasy.
She asked Nathaniel, “Are you familiar with this handwriting?”
Nathaniel shook his head. “No.”
He had already gone through all the suspects he could think of in his mind.
“If he is coming for me and Nigel, he can choose the project undertaken by the Wheeler family and the
Webster family.

There is no need to choose this joint venture club.”
Janet said slowly but firmly, “So, the target is the Longfellow Group.”
Nathaniel didn’t answer, the answer was obvious.
The words on this note were weird and ambiguous. He could almost be sure that he was not only
targeting the Longfellow Group but could even be said to target Janet.
Not long after, Marco called Janet back.
“Ms. Longfellow, the monitoring record this afternoon was deleted. The security guard in the monitoring
room said that he was taking a nap just now and didn’t notice anyone entering.”
Janet frowned. “Is there any other useful information?”
“Ms. Longfellow, there is also a note in the monitoring room!”
Janet’s pupils froze. “Send it to me!”
Marco took a photo of the note and sent it over. Nathaniel and Chitt gathered around to take a look.
The words on the note were still in French. The content on it was even weirder than the previous one.
“You are so similar to your mother, even in the same panic. I’m really curious, will you have such good
luck next. time?”
Her mother was mentioned in the note without warning. Janet’s memory was instantly opened, and
great pain and fear engulfed her.
Who was it?
Who was it!
Janet’s whole body trembled. A chill covered her body.
