Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1433 There's a Woman

Wendy and Beryl instantly fell silent, their gazes meeting as they turned to look at Colton.

Without wasting another second, Beryl pivoted and settled in front of the computer, commencing his investigation into the matter between Isaac and Ryan. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Wendy, on the other hand, sat quietly on the side, nibbling on takeout as she observed the two men at work.

Truth be told, she hadn't seen Isaac in years. However, she found it hard to believe that Isaac could be so weak as to not be able to handle a man like Ryan.

Beryl quickly found out Isaac's whereabouts. After all, they had sought the police's assistance, making it easy to comprehend the situation.

"Colton, it appears that Isaac has been under immense stress for a while now, and Ryan intended to harm him. They seem to have had a heated altercation. By the time the police arrived, Isaac had already collapsed from exhaustion and is currently hospitalized.

After Beryl reported that, his eyes widened with surprise as he stared at the computer screen.

"And then? What's the current situation?"

Colton's gaze shifted to Beryl when he didn't hear the second half of Beryl's words. Seeing his astonished expression, Colton couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance.

Snapping out of his surprise, Beryl slowly began, "There's a woman with him. Is Isaac dating

someone? When did he get a girlfriend?"

Wendy was taken aback by this revelation.

However, she reasoned that it was typical for a playboy like Isaac to have a woman by his side. "Isn't it normal for him to have a girlfriend?" she retorted.

Beryl shook his head, recalling Isaac's decision to move abroad a few years ago. "No, he hasn't been involved with women since he left the country four years ago."

"Oh, he must have reverted to his old habits now that he's in control of the company."

Wendy couldn't help rolling her eyes as she quipped. Isaac did hurt her best friend back then. Despite their good relationship, she couldn't help but hold a grudge against Isaac when it came to romantic matters.

"Wendy, that's enough," Colton interjected, unable to bear any more of her comments.

Wendy glanced at Colton, wisely choosing to remain silent. She began to fiddle with her phone as she wondered if Nicole had responded to her message.

Nicole woke up early the next morning to find several messages from Wendy. They all seemed to be clear.

Colton had indeed proven his competence by swiftly defeating Ryan and dismantling Kendrick's power in the country.

However, Kendrick still held considerable influence abroad, and his foundation in the country was yet to stabilize.

Moreover, his judgment of people left much to be desired.

Nicole quickly responded to Wendy before turning her attention to the report. According to the experimental report, everyone was making excellent progress.

If they maintained this pace, they were bound to succeed.

"Nicole, I'm leaving now. I've left breakfast on the table."

Chloe's voice echoed from outside the door before it shut tightly.

Nicole set her phone aside, rising to exit her room. She looked at the breakfast that Chloe had prepared on the table. It had been over six months now, and she hoped that time would pass more quickly.

Her morning sickness had lasted only about half a month. During this period, she had to ensure that nothing affected the child.

She needed to schedule a prenatal check-up.

Nicole suddenly remembered that she had been so preoccupied that she had forgotten to schedule her prenatal check-up. She unlocked her phone and began to arrange an appointment.

This was her and Colton's child. There was no room for error.

Upon unlocking her phone, she saw the top news headline about Kendrick. The headline was quite shocking.

She frowned slightly, clicking on the headline. It turned out that Kendrick and his secretary were rumored to be having an affair, and they had openly acknowledged it.

The article included a picture of them holding hands intimately.

Then again, how could Kendrick suddenly become involved with his secretary?
