Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 476

Ines felt a pang of anxiety in her heart. “Does that mean Ethan would be stuck in there?”

“Probably not. The situation is still unclear. Ethan and Jacob should be able to come home tonight. Don’t worry too much. I’ve asked Mr. Lionel to handle Ethan’s case. He will call us as soon as there’s any news.”

This was an unexpected turn of events for Ines. Her eyes lit up. “Really, mom?”

Erica gave her a reassuring smile. “That should be the case. However, they would be restricted from leaving A City, and Jacob will be suspended from his job.”

“That’s not an issue. I believe we are on the right side of the law, and we have no intention to flee.”

Erica guided Ines to sit on the couch. “Izzy, you’ve accidentally stirred up a big storm. This has become more complex than it initially was.”

Ines, who was initially feeling a bit gloomy, felt a wave of relief wash over her after hearing Erica’s words.

“That’s a relief. I was afraid my actions might not have any impact and instead agitate them. I’ll stay here to help you with work and wait for Mr. Lionel’s update.”

“Alright, the Meyer Group has been quite busy lately. I don’t know who leaked the news about Ethan being taken away by the police, but some of our short-sighted partners are trying to terminate their contracts with us. It’s quite a mess.”

“We’re better off without partners who only care about profits and have no loyalty.”

Erica nodded in agreement with Ines’ sentiment.

Instead of returning to the Galeana Group, Ines stayed at the Meyer Group all day, with a small smile always playing on her lips.

Watching Ines’ cheerful disposition, Erica gave a chuckle and shook her head.

Ines was initially excited about the prospect of seeing Ethan, but as the day wore on with no news from Lionel, her anticipation turned into frustration. She found herself frequently glancing towards the office entrance.

Erica, having been through similar situations, understood her feelings and chose not to say anything.

Unable to contain herself, Ines asked, “Why haven’t we heard from Mr. Lionel? Should we call and check?”

“If you want to call, go ahead. I still have some urgent paperwork to handle. You can call him yourself.”

Ines shot her a grin. “Okay, I’ll call Mr. Lionel right away.”

Ines was feeling very nervous at this point. She took a deep breath to steady herself as the call went through. Just as she was about to hang up after several rings, a familiar voice answered, “Izzy.”

Ines paused, surprised. “Ethan, are you out?”

“Yep, I’m out.”

“Where are you now?”

“I’ll be at the office soon.”
