Chapter 1481
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
But it was all right.
Even if she didnât make a move on him, Kenneth had the confidence that Fanny would share the recording to the world.
When that happened, Oliver would oppose her vehemently.
Kenneth was his father, after all. Oliver wouldnât want to see his fatherâs reputation smeared after death. Their break-up would be inevitable!
If Fanny kept on by Oliverâs side, she might take revenge and kill him in cold blood. That would be disastrous! The grudge between him and Fannyâs family must not implicate Oliver in any way.
Kenneth was sure he had it all figured out.
Just as he had correctly guessed that Fanny was still alive, he was convinced he could make the most ideal arrangements for the rest of Oliverâs life.
Yet, he forgot one thing.
He was old and advanced in years. So old thatâ¦he had become muddled.
Oliver had no idea about his fatherâs plans. He was in the meeting room, discussing new operating procedures. Some doctors brought forth their proposals, but they were risky and he rejected them all.
While all of them were in deep discussion over new solutions that could help extend whatever was left of Kenneth Channingâs life, Fannyâs bodyguard knocked on the door.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Oliver was shocked to see him and immediately let him in, thinking that something might have happened to Fanny.
The bodyguard immediately handed a phone to Oliver; he was so anxious, he didnât dare look up. âMr.
Channing, something bad has happened.â
Along the expressway, at the borders of Jacroaof, Noelâs phone suddenly rang.
Before, he received a text from Cecilia, which was filled with gibberish and a mess of indiscernible numbers. He couldnât tell what the text meant.
And now, she was calling him.
He was slightly annoyed.
âNot picking up?â Julian asked with an arched brow, knowing immediately that the call was from Cecilia.
âNo,â Noel said, âMs. Jarvis must be looking for someone to amuse her.â
That time at the restaurant, he had tried his best to salvage their relationship.
But what did Cecilia do?
She once again humiliated him with her proud and haughty attitude.
Well, he wasnât so thick-skinned.
âShe isnât the only woman left in this world. Iâm not picking up her call.â
Despite that, Noel kept glancing at his phone. The ridiculous thing was that his phone rang only three to four times, and then stopped ringing immediately.
Noel was certain that Cecilia was playing him for a fool. If he picked up, she might find another way to make a joke out of him.
He shook his head; he switched his phone off, trying not to think about her.
Cecilia was losing hope.
Larry was finally revealing his true colors. He had invited her to his house with ill intentions!
And yet, he was still pretending to be a good and honest man. Had it not been for her own stubbornness, she wouldnât have pursued the matter.
If they hadnât fought, she would still be in the dark and thought that he was a good man.
A good and honest man!
Thankfully, her phone was in her bag. Seizing the chance right after she smashed the vase on Larryâs head, she called Noel once again.
She pressed and held on â1â, which was the shortcut key she previously set for Noelâs number.
Right now, her life was in his hands.
