My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 888 A Strange Call

"Mr. Flint, is there anything else?" Zach managed to suppress his jealousy and asked.

Julien lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment. "Did you get a strange call or meet any strange people today?"

Strange call and strange people?

Zach shook his head in confusion. "No. Mr. Flint, did something happen?"

"Greta's lawyer is the former head of our group’s Legal Department," Julien said.

Zach thought for a moment and remembered a man’s face. "Do you mean Mr. West?"

"Yes." Julien raised his chin. "Dallin hired him for Greta. As Mr. West used to work in our group, Dallin asked him to convince me to let Greta off. However, the negotiation didn't go well, and it's very likely that Dallin will contact you or find someone else to inquire about me.”

Julien was sure that Dallin wouldn’t take the initiative to contact him.

After all, he was Alexander's son.

Dallin would by no means get in touch with the son of his rival in love.

"I see." Zach nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Flint. I didn't receive a strange phone call or meet any strange people today.”

Julien nodded. "That's good."

"By the way..." Zach suddenly thought of something. He pushed his glasses up his nose and asked, "What is the relationship between Dallin and Greta? Why did he do so much for her? Is Greta really his daughter?”

Julien remained silent with a sullen face.

Zach seemed to realize something from Julien’s silence, and his eyes widened. "She is really his daughter?”

Julien sneered, "She's just an illegitimate one."

Zach gasped, "Illegitimate daughter ... If I remember correctly, Greta is 27 years old. This means that…”

Zach continued to widen his eyes in surprise, but he didn't say anything else. He just felt truly sorry for Julien's mother.

He was one of the insiders knowing about Julien's mother's past.

Therefore, he was shocked to learn that Dallin had an illegitimate daughter in the third year of Julien's mother's marriage.

Dallin had promised to wait for her and never find another woman.

However, he not only found a secret lover, but even had an illegitimate daughter.

People in Jackal City used to praise Dallin’s fidelity, for he loved Julien's mother wholeheartedly and chose to stay single.

As a matter of fact, he never ceased hooking up with other women.

Julien's mother was really blind to falling in love with such a man.

Thinking of this, Zach silently cursed Dallin in his heart, and he asked with concern, "Mr. Flint, are you alright?"

He was already so angry when learning that Greta was the illegitimate daughter of Dallin.

Mr. Flint must be even angrier upon knowing Dallin’s true nature.

Mr. Flint's heart was getting weaker, so he must not be too angry or have too much emotion.

Zach was worried about Mr. Flint's health.

"I am fine." Julien squinted with a fierce expression. "I have long speculated about this, so I was mentally prepared when knowing the truth, and I won’t do some irrational things driven by anger. What's more, Leaf is with me all the time.”

Zach remained expressionless, but he secretly scolded Julien in his heart.

Sure enough, Julien would always find an opportunity to show his deep love towards Sydney.

Zack couldn't figure out why Mr. Flint still did this when he was concerned about him.

It was like biting the hand that fed you.

Zach could no longer put up with this, and he wanted to end up this conversation!

Thinking of this, Zach rolled his eyes, but he continued in a calm voice as if nothing had happened. "That's good. Mr. Flint, I'll hang up first, for there are some documents for me to deal with now.”

"Well, go ahead." Julien raised his chin.

Zach put the phone down expressionlessly and hung up.

Julien didn't know Zach's mood at all. After hanging up, he threw his phone directly on the sofa next to him and continued to wipe his wet hair.

After wiping it for a while, he threw the towel on the sofa’s armrest, got up and walked to the kitchen, without the slightest intention of drying his hair.

He was going to boil some nutritious soup so that Sydney could drink it when she woke up.

Sydney’s physical strength and endurance had improved a lot after she had sex with him several times, but she still couldn't reach the standard he wanted.

She was still so weak and needed to be nourished.

Julien quickly began to make soup.

Sydney was awakened by a phone ringing.

She put her hand out of the quilt. With her eyes closed, she groped in the direction of the bedside table.

Even if she didn't know where she was at the moment, her muscle memory made her do it.

She successfully found her phone. Clicking on the screen with her thumb, she put the phone to her ear. With a hint of sleepiness, she said in a hoarse voice, "Hello, who is that speaking?"

No one answered her.

Sydney frowned in confusion, and then she opened her eyes with great difficulty.

The room was dark, and she put the phone in front of her eyes. The screen shone so brightly in the dark that it almost blinded her.

She quickly closed her eyes and put the phone back to her ear.

Although it was only a short moment, Sydney still saw the phone screen clearly.

It was a strange caller ID with no specific location.

Obviously, the person calling her had hidden the location of this number.

However, Sydney didn't find it strange. After all, she received many strange calls like this every day, which were mostly from salesmen or customers.

Therefore, Sydney remained calm and continued to ask politely, "Hello, can you hear me?"

There was still no response.

If she weren't still on the phone, Sydney might have thought that the other party had hung up.

Although no one answered her, Sydney didn't become impatient. After covering her lips and yawning, she felt a little better, and her drowsiness had been dispelled.

She tried her best to reduce the drowsiness in her voice. "Hello, if you have nothing to say, then I'll hang up first. If you are a customer who wants to have business with Skylight Corporation, you can call back after organizing your speech. I'll turn my phone on the whole day. Bye."

After saying these words politely, Sydney put the phone away and hung up. Then she opened her eyes and blinked a few times, which helped her get used to looking at her phone in the dark.

Seeing the time displayed on the screen, she froze, and the next second, she opened her eyes wide and sat up from the bed. "Oh my god! It's seven o'clock in the evening?"

She scratched her long hair and then looked in the direction of the French window. The curtain was drawn, and she couldn't see the outside, but the light coming in from the bottom of the curtain confirmed that the time on her phone was correct, and it was already 7 p.m.

It basically started to get dark at 6 p.m. in the winter. Therefore, it was completely dark outside now, and the neon lights were on.

Therefore, the light coming through the curtains came from neon lights.

Sydney touched her forehead with a sigh.

She didn’t expect that she had slept until dark.

She knew that she had fallen asleep during the day out of great exhaustion.

But it surprised her that she had slept for so long.

Before going to bed, she had planned to take a nap and go to Skylight Corporation in the afternoon.

However...

This drove Sydney a little crazy.
