Chapter 2919 Shari caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Chases phone.
The nVanessa flashed on the screen.
She set her cup down with a quiet clink.
Thats all, she said.
Chase nodded.
Then you go ahead.
Keepupdated if anything comes up on your end.
Alright.
Shari picked up her bag and left.
Only after the door had fully closed did Chase finally pick up the call.
Hello? Chase, Vanessas voice cthrough, heavy with emotion, my niece has suffered such a terrible injustice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAre we just going to let this slide? Her voice cracked slightly, laced with frustration and unshed tears. Ive always spoken so highly of you to her-told her you could do anything.
She really looks up to you.
Now shes been expelled from school, and you cant even help her get reinstated.
Do you know how awkward this makesfeel? Chase let out a quiet sigh and replied gently, Vanessa, Ive already explained-there are plenty of schools out there.
I can arrange for her to attend whichever one she prefers.
If it comes to it, we can even send her abroad.
Why are you so fixated on this particular school? Vanessas voice rose slightly, insistent.
Because shes comfortable there.
She truly wants to stay.
Please, think of a way to get her reinstated.
Chases expression darkened as he frowned.
You need to talk to Constance.
Shes young and naive, but youre not.
You should know better.
Rosalynn and Brian are already involved in this.
You know I cant take them on directly right now.
Brian and Rosalynn-his perpetual adversaries-were always in his way, seeking opportunities to upset him.
You cant take them on, or you cant win against them? She didnt stop there, her frustration spilling over.
You keep tellingyoull marryonce you regain control of the Hughes Group.
Are you just stringingalong? Do you just want to keepas a mistress? Letremind you-our son is six years old now.
He cant stay an illegitimate son forever! Chase sighed and softened his voice.
Vanessa, I know.
Im not stringing you along.
Just trust me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce I take back the Hughes Group, III marry you.
It took a great deal of coaxing, but Chase eventually calmed Vanessa down. Once called the call ended, his expression turned grim, his jaw tightening with resolve. If Brian and Rosalynn wanted to enjoy their little victory, he might as well let them-for now.
But when he seized control of the Hughes Group, he would settle the ie score with them once and for all. The night descended.
In their home, Brian knelt by Rosalynns side, gently helping her out of the bath.
He began to massage her slightly swollen feet.
Rosalynn leaned back against the e sofa, closing her eyes as the om spothing touch eased her tension. A soft smile of contentment graced her lips.
Shari took leave to meet with Chase, Rosalynn said, her tone calm.
She must have handed over the stolen information to him.
Brian acknowledged her words with a slight nod, his hands continuing their skilled movements. It was clear he was no stranger to tasks like this.
