MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 92 Continue

Isaac  was not surprised that the Old Master had found out about last night’s incident. After all, he had been pressed for time the night before and had informed the town’s police beforehand.

He had mobilized their forces, and members of the Miller family and claire relatives were still locked up in the small town’s police station. It had been easy for the Old Master to investigate the matter due to the paper trail left behind.

“What is your current relationship with this woman?” The tone of the Old Master’s voice had gone cold.

“She’s someone I’m protecting isaac replied lazily, “so you shouldn’t touch her.”

“Don’t forget how your father died!” The Old Master suddenly raised his voice. “Do you want to follow in your father’s footsteps?”

Isaac expression darkened instantly. “Dad’s past has always been a taboo to me!”

“I didn’t forget isaac replied coldly. “Grandpa, I’m not like Father. I would never risk everything for a woman, so you don’t have to worry too much!”

Once he was done talking, he ended the call.

Mr. Landford stared at the phone in his hand for some time before passing it to the attendant nurse.

“I shouldn’t worry? It would be great if it were true and yet sometimes, his lack of self-awareness is the most terrifying thing. Just like my son all those years ago who promised me: ‘Dad, I will never forgo the Reed family’s responsibilities for a woman.’

“And yet, ultimately, my son abandoned the Reed family for a woman. He didn’t even want his life!”

“Look into it and find out who that woman is. I want to know every single detail about that woman,” Mr. Landford ordered calmly.

“Yes,” said a man wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses who was sitting in the corner of the hospital room, his fingers rapidly flying across the laptop keyboard.

Claire lay in the hospital bed, her mind still in a mess. After all, plenty of things had happened within the span of a day and she could not come to her senses.

The doctor and nurse had just visited to run some basic tests on her, taking some of her blood and conducting some examinations. Only in the afternoon, after the blood test results had come out, could they determine her condition.

Just then, someone gently knocked at the door to her room. and then pushed it open to enter.

Claire studied the young man dressed in a suit and tie who looked fair and gentle. “He’s probably only a few years older than me.”

The man looked at claire with a smile and said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Gray. I am Tnathan .isaac ’ secretary. This is your phone and bag. Can you please check the items in your bag and confirm that nothing is missing?”

As he spoke, he put her things in the storage space at claire headboard. Just as he was about to leave claire suddenly called after him. “Who… who is isaac?”

Nathan respectfully replied, “You’ll know when you have to, Miss gray. I’m just a secretary.”

Claire changed the topic of conversation and asked, “Then do you know the situation at my family’s old residence?”

Nathan did not avoid her question. “Your uncles and aunt, as well as their spouses and children, have been temporarily detained. Originally your grandfather was also detained by the police said due to his advanced age, and in order to have someone by your grandmother’s side to take care of her, he was released on bail.”

Claire was surprised. “I didn’t know that suddenly so many people would be detained. At home… the only person who actually stood up for me was Grandma.”

When claire recalled the scene of the previous night, bitterness flashed through her heart.

“Furthermore, the Miller family is also currently being detained at the police station nathan added.

When nathan left the ward claire looked around the spacious room. “A high-class VIP ward and a personal secretary. Moreover, there was more than one doctor who came to check on me just now. There were several of them and they were all chief physicians.

“Furthermore, there were signs of them taking great care and showing respect in their attitudes when they were treating

“I’m sure they weren’t respectful because of my identity. They only did so because I have the support of  isaac “Who the hell is isaac.

Claire felt as if her mind was even more muddled. She then picked up her bag that had been placed at the headboard and remembered that it had been left at her grandmother’s house.

She opened her bag and saw that all of her belongings were still inside.

Her mobile phone had been discovered at the Miller residence and had been taken away from her. The phone had been turned off so claire restarted it. She saw that her notifications were made up of a series of missed calls and text messages.

Some were from her grandmother, a few were from Lina, and there were a couple of strange calls as well.

“I can more or less guess the reason for Grandma calling me, but Lexi” She looked at her notifications and realized that lexi had called her nearly twenty times.
Claire quickly returned her call.

Lexi hurriedly answered it.claire, is that you?”

“Yes, my phone was… turned off yesterday. I only turned it on today and just saw your missed calls claire explained.

Lexi let out a long sigh. “My goodness! I called you last night but it didn’t go through. You said that you were going to your grandmother’s house and I was worried that something had happened to you. Other than your grandmother, the relatives from her side of the family are all the kind of people who hit others when they’re down.”

Lexi prattled on. She had called her from the previous night all the way through to the next morning but had not gotten through at all. The more she had thought about it, the more anxious she had felt so she had decided that if she still could not reach her friend by noon, she would go straight to her grandmother’s house in the afternoon since she knew the address.

“By the way, they didn’t do anything bad last night, did they?” Lexi asked anxiously.

“They wanted to sell me off to a fool to be his wife and use the money to buy a house.” claire did not try to conceal the truth and relayed to Lina the incident that had happened the night before at her grandmother’s house.

Lexi listened with gritted teeth. “Why are there such shameless people? You weren’t taken advantage of, were you?”

“I’m fine isaac  saved me, nothing happened to me claire replied.

“Are you currently back at the rental apartment? I’ll come and find you,” Lina said.

“Don’t. I’m… I’m not back yet. I’m with isaac now. I’ll meet you again when I’m back claire hurriedly replied.

Lexi advised claire to be careful and indignantly said, “Your family members should be punished. If you let them off too easily this time, they might sell you out again.”

“Yeah, I know,” claire said.

After hanging up, she hesitantly stared at the missed call from her grandmother. “What should I tell Grandma? Should I pretend that the incident never happened or should I say… that my uncles and aunt are being punished as they deserve?”

She took a deep breath and dialled her grandmother’s number. Not long after, the call was picked up and she could hear her grandmother’s slightly trembling voice. Claire is that you?”
