Billionaire With Husband 413

Chapter 413

George quickly jerked the phone away from his ear, frowning. "Mr. Gibson, are you trying to make me deaf?"

Then, something suddenly clicked in his mind. "Wait, what were you saying about Felix?"

"Felix never lost his martial arts-did you know about this all along?" Ryan demanded.

George was stunned, and his eyes turned cold. "Don't push it too far, Mr. Gibson. Felix's body was damaged after that heroic act, and you're still trying to cause trouble for him? He's not as simple as you think." Ryan froze for a moment before replying, "It seems like you knew his true identity and set me up on purpose. But forget it-it was my fault for getting involved. Everything's fine now, so let's talk when we meet After the call ended, George's confusion only deepened. He wondered what Ryan was talking about. Just then, a voice broke the silence

"If your father's letting you handle such a big contract with me, he must be planning to hand over more responsibilities."

George quickly stood up with a smile. "Lady Nala, I'm an adult too. I've been idle long enough."

Nala, who had entered unnoticed, nodded and started signing the contract without further discussion. "Who was that on the phone? They were quite loud "

"That was Ryan. You know how booming his voice can be," George replied.

After George left, a strange light flickered in Nalla's eyes. "Ryan said Felix never lost his martial arts? What does that mean? Silas personally confirmed it could he have been wrong?

"Felix, are you playing games?" Nala muttered "That only makes me lose more respect for you, though it doesn't matter anymore-our paths won't cross again. I just wonder... will you attend Yvonne's wedding?"

Earlier, while Felix was heading to Eastern Mountain, Xena had led the Wolfie troops to surround an orphanage in Canraville, about six miles from the one Nala sponsored.

"What's the situation? Xena asked as Alistair hurried to her side, both wearing grave expressions and with anger burning in their eyes.

"Four children are showing symptoms. We've confirmed with headquarters via video-zi definitely Bloom Seeds," Alistair replied grimly

After the last incident, she ordered close monitoring of facilities with children, but they did not expect another case so soon.

"Silas is flying in on a military jet. The children will be fine," Alistair assured her.

They responded much faster than last time, with headquarters immediately calling in Silas. "Lady Summers, should we ask Mr. Zeller to take a look first?" Alistair suggested. "Even if he can't cure them yet, he might be able to ease their suffering." Xena nodded and tried calling but could not get through. "Never mind. Increase security- Silas should be here in 20 minutes."

Just then, Xena's phone rang with a video call from Curtis, which was unusual for this time of night. She declined it and texted back, "Grandpa, I'm on a mission. Can we talk later?"

However, the video call came through again, making Xena sigh in frustration-this was not like Curtis at all.
