Female Novel
Chapter 1724
Cindy leaned over to glance at the phone number. The moment she recognized who it was, herexpression immediately changed.
As for Ian, he couldn’t help but feel a little resigned. Looks Like Sean is right. Leah probably made ascene at his place and didn’t get what she wanted, so she’s coming to me again. However, did sheforget all my previous warnings?
Then, he rose to his feet while holding his phone. “Please wait for me for a minute. I need to answerthis call.”
Aurora didn’t know who was calling him, which made her suspicious. “You can just answer the callhere. There’s no need to hide from us. What is it? Which beautiful girl is calling you right now?” Afterthat, she turned toward Cindy and added, “He is being dishonest and you shouldn’t indulge him. Comeand stop him. Let him answer this call in front of us.”
However, Cindy clearly knew that Ian couldn’t answer Leah’s phone in front of Aurora. At that time, Iwas so angry that I wanted to slap Leah myself when I heard her insults. I can’t imagine what Mrs.Morgan would do if she heard it all. If they start arguing on the phone, judging from Mrs. Morgan’stemper, she’ll probably want to have a fight with Leah.
Therefore, she quickly replied, “It should be from the company. I think we should let him answer it in hisroom.”
“I don’t care whether it’s from the company. What’s there to hide about a company’s call? He cananswer it right here in front of us. We will keep quiet.” Aurora wasn’t planning to back down.
Cindy smiled and raised her phone. “If he answers the call here, we won’t be able to play our game.Besides, we don’t even know when the call will be finished. Why don’t we just let him be and start thegame ourselves?”
With that, Ian walked toward his room and added, “She’s right. I’m not sure when I will be done. Youtwo can just start the game without me first. I’ll join you later on when the call’s finished.”
As she watched his back, Aurora could only nod her head in the end. “Be quick with it. I want to seehow good you are at this game since you always laugh at how bad the both of us are.”
Without uttering a word, Ian returned to his room and locked the door before answering Leah’s call.
This time, she spoke in a much better tone and even politely called his name.
However, just like last time, his voice was still as cold as ever. “What do you want? Just say it.”
She laughed and replied, “After giving it a thought, I felt that I was a little agitated the last time wespoke where I’ve uttered some unsavory words. I’m calling you now to make amends, so I hope youdon’t mind.”
Ian chuckled and remained silent as he listened to her explanation. I can’t believe she is asking me tolet it slide after she scolded me in the face last time. Who is she taking as a fool?
Then, Leah continued speaking, “I was also a little frustrated. Your father’s illness isn’t improving andhe’s been staying in the hospital for such a long time. I’ve been waiting at home for good news tocome, but nothing has come to fruition. That’s why I’m slightly anxious, which causes me to speakwithout thinking first.” novelbin
However, Ian refused to say anything. She seems to have forgotten that she couldn’t keep her mouthshut about the inheritance on the last call. Is she now seriously using the old man’s illness as anexcuse?
Upon seeing that he wasn’t replying to her, Leah sighed and cut to the chase. “I heard that your dadcalled his lawyer. Did he tell you anything when you visited him?” She knew that her words would easilymake him realize her intentions, so she quickly explained, “Please don’t misunderstand me. I have noother intentions. I only heard that after Sean went to meet your dad, he called his attorney not longafter that. I’m just asking whether you are aware of this.”
Then, her voice became gentler. “I’m not worried about myself. I have an excellent relationship withyour dad, so no matter what, he won’t treat me or my children badly. I’m being considerate about you.You are all alone and there has been some unfavorable news about you recently, so I’m afraid that yourdad might have made a bad decision in a moment of anger.”
She was playing with her words by dragging Sean into the situation.
However, Ian’s voice was still icy cold. “The old man didn’t tell me anything, so you are just wastingyour time with me.”
