After listening to Zane's explanation, Yanis was still somewhat surprised.
"Well, that's their own business," Yanis said softly, looking at Zane. "Earlier, they mentioned compensating Ms. Walpole. What's your take on that?"
"It's up to Ms. Walpole to decide on that matter."
Yanis nodded, "And what did you and Allan do? How did you come back so quickly?"
In fact, when Yanis messaged Zane, she thought it would take at least half an hour for him to return.
However, she hadn't expected that it would only take about ten minutes from when she messaged him to his return.
"We talked about something, just nearby," Zane replied and then looked at Yanis. "Did you have breakfast?"
"Yeah," Yanis replied, "Did you have yours?"
Zane checked the time on his watch, then said, "I grabbed a quick bite outside with Allan. I also need to make a trip to the company later."
"Is something wrong at the company?"
"There's an issue with a contract Phoebe was negotiating. I'm going to take a look."
Yanis nodded. "Well, since you're going to drop me off at the store later."
Zane agreed, but before he could say anything further, his phone rang.
Zane glanced at Yanis, then answered the call.
It was Lisa on the line.
Zane's tone was calm as he spoke, "What's up?"
"Zane, I plan to take Jo to the Lawrence's Mansion today. Will you come?"
Upon hearing Lisa's words, Zane responded in a measured tone, "I have other things to attend to today, so I might not be able to make it."
Unlike before, Lisa didn't insist stubbornly this time. Instead, she confirmed whether she could see Jo anytime in the future.
"As Jo's mother, you can see him anytime you want."
"I understand. Thank you, Zane."
Zane acknowledged, "If there's nothing else, I'll end the call."
Without waiting for Lisa's response, Zane hung up.
Yanis sat nearby, watching Zane hang up the call. She turned to him and asked, "Lisa's call?"
Zane didn't hide anything, replying honestly, "She's planning to take Jo to the Lawrence's Mansion and asked if I'd come."
"Did she agree to send Jo to the Lawrence's Mansion?"
Zane nodded, "Yes, she agreed."
In fact, Lisa had thought it through carefully before making her decision.
