Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1443 Three Days Later

"Is dealing with Ryan really a reason for such elation? Why does he sound so thrilled?"

Beryl expressed his disdain. His face twisted in a frown as he listened to the voice message.

"Furthermore, it must be midnight in Restrad now. Doesn't he need sleep? Didn't he collapse from exhaustion just the other day? And now he's burning the midnight oil again so soon. I guess he has a short memory."

Colton heard Beryl's words. Indeed, Isaac's behavior was somewhat unusual.

Could it be connected to the woman who was with him?

"That woman," Colton said slowly as if hinting at something to Beryl.

"Right, I'll look up her name now. I initially assumed she was a caregiver or something, but on second thought, it doesn't seem right. I remember the police left her contact details and name."

Beryl recalled the information he had received the previous day. At the time, he had speculated that this woman was either a caregiver or a casual acquaintance.

Now, the situation seemed to be more intricate than initially thought.

Colton maintained his silence, implying his approval for Beryl to continue his investigation.

Isaac's interest in this woman should be thoroughly investigated. She can't be an ordinary person, given his choice of companions is not exactly impeccable.

Beryl wasted no time and swiftly retrieved information about the woman Isaac seemed interested in.

As Beryl looked at the information on the computer screen, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, she's somehow connected to Nicole."

He was genuinely surprised by this unexpected connection.

He was genuinely surprised by this unexpected connection.

With that, Beryl turned his gaze toward Colton. Beryl's expression revealed curiosity and probing interest in the man's reaction.

Upon hearing the name "Nicole," Colton immediately stood up from his seat. However, aware of Beryl's scrutiny, he quickly concealed any visible emotions and casually walked over to view the information displayed on the screen.

Roxanna?

Colton was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected Isaac's final choice to be someone as seemingly innocent as Roxanna.

Beryl couldn't help but point out, "So, you can't resist reacting when you hear anything related to Nicole, can you?"

His attention shifted away from Isaac and Roxanna. Now, it appeared that Colton had become more intriguing to him.

Colton, in response to Beryl's observation, shot him a sharp look and then returned to his seat. He responded with a cold tone, "Don't overthink."

Beryl decided to let the matter rest and closed the computer.

It seemed that this woman's connection to Nicole was significant enough, and further investigation might not be necessary. He only hoped that she wouldn't cause Isaac prolonged distress, unlike the woman from the past who had come for money. She left after taking a substantial amount of money, leaving Isaac deeply wounded.
