Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1312 Burdens and Responsibilities

"It's not easy to deceive those two fiends," Roxanna mused, her form draped over the couch. The recollection of that frightful scene earlier left her with a sense of lingering fear. She couldn't help but wonder, What if I accidentally spilled the beans? Nicole won't be happy about it.

As thoughts of Nicole crossed her mind, Roxanna checked the time and muttered to herself, "They're probably still on the plane right now."

"Miss Miller, there's something you need to review."

Suddenly, one employee hurried over with a document in hand.

Taking a deep breath, Roxanna glanced at the document. Then, a realization dawned upon her—the immense workload Nicole had shouldered all this time. "Okay, I will review it." After saying this, she nodded and took the proffered document. She meticulously combed through each line, determined not to overlook any detail. It was her inaugural experience overseeing such a broad spectrum of tasks. Moreover, she was adamant about not burdening Nicole and Chloe further. Their success was paramount, motivating her to competently manage domestic affairs.

We can't let the other party take advantage of us in any way," she said, frowning slightly as she pointed out the segment she was referring to before handing the document back to the employee.

Meanwhile, Ryan stayed in the villa Logan had prepared for him under the butler's name before the fall of the Yael Family. Perhaps, his grandfather had seen this coming and made arrangements for Ryan's future.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened at the thought of his grandfather. Everything is going according to plan. Sooner or later, I'll get Grandpa out of prison.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

The persistent ringing of his phone jolted Ryan from his thoughts, drawing a slight crease to his brows as he frowned at the unwelcome interruption. With a subtle lift of his eyebrows, he picked up his phone, and his amusement flickered as he saw the caller ID. Despite the annoyance, he answered the call, his voice tinged with a playful tone. "I'm surprised you have the time to call me, Miss Wrenn. Let me guess, life hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine?"
