Chapter 232 Daniel Took the Initiative to Talk to You?
The lie had already been told, it was impossible to take it back and admit it. I decided to stubbornly
deny it, and with that resolution, I felt justified in not saying more to him.
The night was late, and after a day of hustle and bustle, I was quite tired. Having said that, I went
straight to bed to sleep.
Fortunately, Walter didn’t press further. He just sighed slightly and obediently went to sleep on the floor
at the foot of the bed.
That night, it was relatively peaceful.
The next day.
I was awakened by a burst of ringing from my phone. Still groggy from sleep, I answered the call
without clearly seeing who the caller was, and instinctively mumbled a drowsy “Hello” into the phone.
A cool male voice came from the other end of the phone, “Ms. Conner, it’s me, Daniel.”
Daniel?
After being stunned for a few seconds, my mind suddenly cleared. I cleared my throat and said into the
phone, “Hello, Mr. Monroe.”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood, their voice slightly magnetic
as they said, “Did I disturb your rest by calling you so early?”
I shook my head, realizing that he couldn’t see my gesture through the phone. I couldn’t help but say
into the phone, “No, it’s also time to get

1. Do you… need something from me?”
“Um!” The person on the other end of the phone began, his pleasant voice slowly saying, “I’m thinking
of investing in some things in River City. I met with Mr. Smith from city construction last night, and he
told me that you’re also planning to take over the projects in the southern part of River City. I just
arrived in River City and I don’t want to spread myself too thin for the time being. I wanted to ask you,
are you interested in us partnering up and taking over all the projects in the southern part of River City
together?”
I didn’t expect that he called me so early because of this matter. Originally, I was planning to discuss
this with him to see if we could reach an agreement. I didn’t expect him to approach me first.
For a moment, he couldn’t contain his joy and said, “That’s great, Mr. Monroe, are you there? Let’s
schedule a phone call to discuss our cooperation.”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle lightly, saying, “I’m at…”
“Who called!” A deep, slightly hoarse voice rang out, too abrupt, Daniel on the other end of the phone
stopped halfway through his
sentence.
Hearing the sound, I looked up to see Walter climbing up from the mattress at the foot of the bed,
looking at me sleepily and asking, “Why are you calling so early? Is it something important?”
His voice was husky and pleasant to listen to.
It took me a good while to realize that I had stayed in the old house last night, sharing a room with him.
Looking at him, I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
Helplessly, I had to say to Daniel on the other end of the phone, “Mr.
Monroe, you can send me the address, or I can send you the address, and we can meet up later to
talk.”
After a brief silence, the person on the other end of the phone finally spoke, “Did I disturb you?”
I quickly shook my head, “No…”
“Alright, we’ll talk later.” A slightly deep male voice came from the other end of the line. Through the
phone, I naturally couldn’t discern the mood on the other side, but I don’t know if I was overthinking it, I
always felt that Daniel seemed a bit unhappy when he heard Walter’s voice.
The phone was hung up.
Walter, squinting his dark eyes at me, his voice low and restrained, “Mr. Monroe? Daniel?”
I nodded, calmly saying, “He came to me to discuss about collaborating on several projects in the
southern district.”
Walter pursed his lips, his dark eyes becoming unfathomably deep. After a long pause, he finally
asked, “Did he actively seek you out for cooperation?”
I nodded, though I was quite curious inside, I didn’t show anything unusual on my face.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door from outside, followed by the sound of Odin’s voice.
Hearing the noise outside, Walter rose to his feet and called out, “What’s going on?”
“Something happened at West Residence, the old lady wants you to go. there,” Odin spoke.
After hearing his words, both Walter and I were taken aback, West Residence?
That was William and Emma’s yard.
Walter’s brow furrowed slightly as he asked, “What happened?”
Through the door, Odin said, “You should go and take a look.”
After speaking, the person went downstairs.

Thinking about what happened in the backyard last night, I was worried. I got up, hastily changed my
clothes and rushed out. Seeing my urgency, Walter followed me. He looked at me and asked, “Do you
know what’s going on?”
I shook my head, letting out a slight sigh, “I’m not sure, but something must be up, otherwise grandma
wouldn’t have called us over so early.”
Seeing this, Walter didn’t ask any more questions.
I hurried to West Residence, finding the yard outside very quiet. I saw Dr. Li, who had already returned
home last night, coming out with his medicine box, with Dale following behind him to see him off.
Looking at the situation, I couldn’t help but step forward and ask, “Dale, what happened?”
Dale looked at us, seeing the worry on our faces, he gave a slight smile and said, “It’s okay, it’s good Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
