The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 982

It was like the elaborate scheme Callum had devised against the Tall family, every detail interconnected. When she found out about it later, a shiver ran down her spine.

She had never imagined that Callum, over these years, had set up such a plan, toppling the Tall family in one fell swoop. His thoughts had grown deeper over

the years.

Fortunately, he was her son. She had nothing to fear. She only needed to relax and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

“Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’d like to rest early,” Callum said, raising his hand to massage his temples.

Seeing Callum’s tired expression, Ysabel nodded. “All right, you rest well. I’ll head back. In a few days, it’s your birthday. I’ve organized a special celebration for you and invited many prominent figures in the city. Remember to appear on time.” Callum had broken up with Madeline this year, and White Maple Group had swallowed half of the Tall family’s assets. No longer did she have to put on a fake smile for the Tall family. Now, she could truly hold her head high. She would announce Callum’s birthday celebration and, in the process, find a suitable daughter-in-law.

“I understand,” Callum replied indifferently.

After Ysabel left, Callum looked around the room’s cold atmosphere and couldn’t help but sneer. “Is this the goal I have once strived for?” he thought.

Even though he had obtained the White Maple Group and become the true master of the White family, it meant little to him.

He still felt like a drifting duckweed, lacking a sense of taking root.

In the ward, Stephen and Abigail asked Lillian what had happened, her emotions so stirred up that she experienced a threatened miscarriage.

Lillian suddenly realized her phone was missing.

“Right, Callum has it!” she thought. When he brought her to the hospital and the doctor examined her, a nurse handed her phone to him.

“It’s just… My phone had some issues. The photos in my gallery were deleted by the system, and I got upset, which led to abdominal pain,” Lillian explained helplessly.

“You silly child, it’s just a few pictures. Why make such a fuss that the hospital?” Stephen said.
