Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1231 The Pressure Behind

Ryan supported his grandfather, who wasn't in good spirits, as they gloomily returned to the Yael Residence. The situation had turned overwhelming for the Yaels since no one expected Colton to be so ruthless.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Impatiently, he took out his phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered the call with a sense of trepidation. It was their backer; he couldn't afford to offend them.

"I heard your bases were destroyed?"

A cacophony of electronic noises reached Ryan's ears, a sound he had become accustomed to. The backer never revealed their true voice when making phone calls.

"Yes, rest assured, we won't delay your goods," Ryan replied obsequiously, behaving humbly.

Meanwhile, Logan perked up his ears and listened carefully. After all, it could either be good or bad news to receive a call from their backer at this time.

"Huh, why should I continue to work with you guys when it has come to this? I'm only calling to tell you that if you leak even a hint of the buyer's information, I'll make things worse for you."

The backer's attitude was absolute, promptly hanging up the call, giving Ryan no chance to respond.

As Ryan listened to the busy tone on his phone, his heart turned to ashes. This time, the Yael Family is doomed for good…

Logan, relying on his cane, trembled his way to the couch. Before he could catch his breath, he slumped into the seat.

"Grandpa!" Ryan shouted, rushing to Logan upon hearing the unusual sound.

Colton's resentment alleviated somewhat as he watched the science academy demolish before him.

"Colton…"

He turned his head at the sound and saw Evelyn walking toward him, looking pitiful. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Evelyn's eyes lit up with a hint of a smile. At least Colton was still willing to look at her. Of course, she didn't forget her purpose. She bit her lip, forced out a few tears, and said, "Colton, I'm pregnant."

The man clenched his fists tightly to release them after a long time. "It has nothing to do with me," he said, bypassing Evelyn and preparing to get in the car.

Panic arose within Evelyn at once, and she chased after him with furrowed brows and her belly held. But because of the fetus, she held back a little, causing her to fall behind. In the end, she shouted, "Colton, I got pregnant when you were cursed!"

Disbelief overcame Colton as he came to a stop. He turned around and bore into Evelyn, wanting to extract the truth from her that way.
