The Ex and Her Riches

Muprary.

The day had already dawned brightly, with people bustling in and out of the building. The sound of anxious footsteps echoed, striking at the heart like a drumbeat.

On the large screen, the red dot that had been silent for a long time finally started to flicker again.

Isaac and the others had been waiting here for a long time. They had finally received signs of Charles, who had been missing for several days.

Charles proactively shared his location and assured them of his safety.

“Give the order to send trustworthy people to Mr. Newton, and make sure to bring Mr. Newton back safely.”

Isaac pinched the bridge of his nose, they had not rested for even a moment these past days in their search for Charles’s whereabouts, fearing they might miss even the slightest glimmer of hope.

“Dispatch a helicopter, and then bring the doctor over as well. We have to prevent any potential problems.”

“Yes.”

The subordinates around him stepped back, tirelessly setting off to arrange all the related tasks.

Upon receiving the message, Whitney immediately met up with Isaac.

Just a few days ago, she looked exquisite and beautiful.

However, due to what happened to Charles recently, she hadn’t been getting enough rest for a few days. The exhaustion and weariness on her face were visible to the naked eye, and faint red lines could be seen in her eyes, which was heartbreaking to see.

“Is everything arranged?”

“Upon receiving the message, I immediately sent someone to make arrangements. We will pick up

Mr. Newton right away…

Isaac stood behind Whitney, clearly reporting his plan.

Then, he changed the subject immediately and said hesitantly, “Mrs. Newton, you mustn’t neglect your health. It’s not worth it. Now that we finally have news of Mr. Newton, it would indeed leave everyone worrying about both of you if something serious were to happen to you.”

Whitney walked over to the chair nearby and sat upright, nodding slightly in a somewhat distracted manner, indicating that she understood.

But how could she not worry?
