"Linlin, where are you?" Chen Jie's voice was smooth but carried an edge.
Wu Yuxuan's fingers tightened around the phone as he hesitated—should he hang up or let Chen Jie finish?
Just as he decided to end the call, Chen Jie's next words echoed in his ear, his brows furrowed deeper.
"Nevermind. Just wanted to let you know that Lawyer Jin will see you Wednesday to go over the terms of the transfer. Liu Yanmei will be there too, since she's getting some shares. But listen, keep your temper in check. Your sister's pregnant, after all." Chen Jie sighed, "The last thing I want is more casualties in this mess."
Wu Yuxuan's gaze hardened, his eyes turning as cold as steel.
The pieces fell into place.
He glanced over at the woman lying peacefully beside him, her breath steady, unaware.
Was this why she'd been upset?
