The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 990

The banquet continued. As Ysabel watched her son, whose cheeks were flushed slightly, walk toward the lounge on the second floor, a smile crept onto her face. Everything was unfolding as she had hoped. The daughter of the Turner family had been waiting in the lounge for some time. After that night, the union between the White family and the Turner family would be sealed. After that, Lillian would no longer be involved with Callum.

Ysabel engaged in small talk with the guests while drinking. At the same time, she was calculating the time in her mind.

However, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the second floor, followed by a swift silence.

The guests exchanged puzzled glances. They did not know what had just happened.

Ysabel forced a smile and then made her way to the second floor. She wanted to investigate the situation. To her surprise, she found two of Callum’s subordinates standing right in front of the lounge where Veronica was supposed to be. The subordinates whom Ysabel had arranged to guard the room had disappeared. “Why are you…” Ysabel asked in confusion.

“Mr. White instructed us to allow Ms. Turner and your subordinates to rest in this lounge. Otherwise, they’d be exhausted,” one of the men replied.

“What?” Ysabel was stunned upon hearing that. She immediately stepped forward to open the door. When the door opened, Ysabel saw Veronica, fully dressed and lying unconscious on the couch. Moreover, her two subordinates were tied up, lying on the floor.

Meanwhile, her son was nowhere to be seen. Callum was obviously not in the lounge.

“Where’s Callum?” she asked sternly.

Callum’s subordinate answered, “Mr. White said he’ll go home first. He also asked you to stop doing these meaningless things in the future.”

Upon hearing those words, Ysabel gritted her teeth. She knew Callum had seen through everything.

It seemed like she would have to appease the Turner family later. Meanwhile, Callum sat in the car’s back seat and smiled wryly. He had not expected his own mother to make a move against him. Callum had always been guarded against outsiders but did not anticipate his mother would do such a thing. That was why he became a victim of her dirty tricks.
