Loveless Marriage

Chapter 96 Your Father Is In Trouble

"If you don't feel so well, tell me." Christian said seriously.

Before Isabella could say anything, the staffs that passed by all greeted: "Mr. Miller."

Christian didn't say a word and directly walked forward.

In the CEO office, the secretary had waited for him for long.

"Thank God, Mr. Miller, you finally come back! Yesterday, you..."

The secretary asked him anxiously. When he saw Isabella behind him, he was immediately stunned,

then shut up and consciously retreated to the side.

Isabella also looked at Christian. Secretary?

Did he hired him after Lexie left?

How could he bear to be use a man now?

Christian took off his suit and placed it on a chair, then poured himself a cup of hot water. He placed the

water in front of Isabella and said: "Steven, bring the files I asked you to prepare."

"On, okay...here"

The assistant, who was still in a daze, hurriedly handed the files to Christian. And he was shocked at

the same time.

When he was asked to prepare the files on phone, he wasn't told that there would be a guest today.

Besides, he didn't see it on schedule either.

What's more, he called him all day yesterday, but couldn't get connected. If Christian didn't show up

this morning, he may even call the police. He was really curious about what his boss was doing

yesterday.

And... Did he just pour a cup of water for the woman in front of him?

"Thank you." Isabella nodded at him, then took the files and read through it seriously. After a while, she

said calmly: "It's not too hard. I will try to help you settle it."

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She was startled and took it out hurriedly, "Sorry."

Seeing that it from Diana, she immediately walked out, "I'm sorry Mr. Miller, I need to get a call."

With an outsider, she still need to put on an act.

Even though he understood, her actions made Christian a little uncomfortable, "Sure."

Isabella didn't walk far. she only stood at the door and whispered: "Mom, didn't I tell you I would just

stay in Brighton for another two days? Why are you calling me again?"

"Isabella...your dad is in trouble. the warden called me this morning... He told me that your father

fainted in there." Diana choked with sobs, her tone filled with panic and anxiety.

"What did you say?" Isabella's expression suddenly changed.

Hearing the voice, Christian strode to the door and opened it, completely ignoring Steven who was still

present. He then asked Isabella, "What’s going on?"

Isabella's face suddenly turned pale. She held her phone tightly and endured her upset emotion. But

she still looked she just cried.

"I need to go back!"

She just couldn't understand how her father could suddenly be like this after being in jail two months.

Christian's heart tightened. There must be something urgent to made her upset like this.

He stepped forward and lightly held her shoulders, then he gently said, "Don’t worry. I'll go back with

you."

Steven, who was behind them, opened his mouth wide in shock, then he quickly closed it again.

Now there was no need to guess. It seemed like his boss had been staying with this lady all day

yesterday.

Isabella suddenly came to her senses. She pushed him away by her arm, and took a step back, then

quickly said: "I'm sorry, but I can't solve your company's issues now. An emergency has occurred, I

need to rush back. Goodbye."

She wasn't in the mood to care about so much right now. All she could think about now was her mother

at home worrying about her dad.

With that, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Christian immediately became more worried about her. Looking at her back figure, without hesitation,

he followed along.

Seeing that, Steven hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Miller, you still have two very important consequences

today."

"Delay it if you can. I'll explain it." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Steven, "..."

Explain, how?

Just for a woman?

But Steven dared not say more. He quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Miller."

When Christian caught up to her, Isabella was still calling her mom beside the elevator, so she did not

notice him.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be back right now. Wait a minute, I'll let Luke go to jail first."

"…"

After comforting the Diana, Isabella hung up. As she was about to call Luke, a voice suddenly came

out.

"If you owe him another favour, you will feel guilty even more."

Isabella was so shocked that she almost threw her phone out. Then she looked at him, frowning:

"Christian, I really don't have time to argue with you now. I have to rush back. My mom is very anxious."

"Ask for Luke's help who's at a distance. I don't think you're in any hurry at all." Christian then took out

his phone and opened the contact list.

"Luke is a lawyer, who's in Brighton, so he can get to my mom in shortest time. Christian, could you

please not bother me now?"

What kind of guilt? She just wanted someone to help her now.

The elevator door opened. Isabella was not in the mood to argue with him, so she quickly walked in.

Christian followed closely. His eyes were calm and deep as he said in an orderly manner, "Do you think

I can't help you with that? If he can really help, he would have dealt with it long ago. Moreover, he also

has a daughter now. Do you think it would be convenient for him?"

After that, he seemed to have found someone. Then he dialled a number.

After a few seconds, the phone was connected. Christian said, "Mr. Yannick, if you're free, could you do

me a favour?"

"…" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Yeah, right."

"…"

"Alright, thank you so much. I'll talk about it in detail when I get there."

With her expression suddenly changed, Isabella stared at him without moving.

Christian then looked down at her, whose tone was calm as usual, "He said that he just got the news

as well and is rushing over."

Then, he reached out to gently stroke the top of her head and comforted her, "Don't worry. Everything

will be fine."

"Who is he?" Isabella asked.

Actually, she wanted to ask how that Mr. Yannick knew about it?

Christian looked at her with a slightly deeper gaze, "He is a lawyer in Brighton, also a friend of mine.

Previously I entrusted the case regarding your father to him."

However, before he could even begin, she decided to divorce with him, and her father's verdict was

followed by that.

She seldom talked about her father's issue in front of him, nor did she ask for his help. So he could only

send people to investigate in secret even if he wanted to help.
