I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668: Are you doing this for the Johnson family?

After hearing Zane's inquiry, Finnley whispered, "It's not necessary, but since Kellan wants to do it, let him."
Zane nodded and said, "Okay. You take care of that side of things."
Finnley replied with an acknowledgment. "But I think Kellan might have a backup of that photo. What are you going to tell your sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing Finnley's words, Zane instinctively looked at Yanis' face and said softly, "I'll explain everything to her."
Finnley responded with another acknowledgment. "Alright then. Let me know if you need any help."
Zane made a sound of agreement before hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? Haven't you resolved things on your end yet?" Yanis asked after Zane hung up.
Zane shook his head gently and took Yanis' hand in his own before saying quietly, "No."
After responding to Yanis' question, Zane fell silent for a few seconds as he tried to figure out how he was going to explain what had happened in West City earlier that day.
However, he couldn't come up with anything suitable after thinking about it for a while.
So instead of continuing to dwell on it, Zanegave up tryingto find the right words because at this moment, Yanis' phone rang again. This time, it was Iris calling once more. Yanispickedupthe calland putit on speakerphone like before,"Iris?"
"I have some news over here. I will bring Anika back safely," Iris said when she heard Yanis' voice.
"Did Anna contact you first?" Yanis asked upon hearing Iris' voice.
"Yes, she did. I'm heading over there now. You don't need Myles or anyone else," Iris replied confidently.
"Can you go alone? Or do we need to come along too?"
"No, I can handle it. She told me only one person is allowed or Anika might be in danger," Iris explained firmly.
After listening carefullyto whatIris hadsaid, Yanistooka quick glanceatZanesfacebefore saying,"Be careful. Whenyou get there, give us your location."
"I will,"Iris answeredbefore hangingupthephone.
YanisthenputawayhisphoneandlookedatZanesaying,"We'll waitfor Iristo sendus herlocation, andthenwe'llgothere."
Zanesimply nodded, hopingthattheycouldresolveeverythingas quicklyas possible. Justthen, hismobilephoneringedagain. He frowned slightly as he looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, but sawthatitwasfromManchesCity. Zane hesitated for a few seconds before answering the phone. "Who is this?" he asked.
"It's Kellan," came the voice on the other end, with a hint of amusement. "Did Mr. Lawrence have a good afternoon today?"
As soon as Zane heard Kellan's voice, his face darkened and he gently squeezed Yanis' hand before letting go and standing up to walk away. As he walked, he spoke in a low voice, "I don't know when I ever crossed you."
Zane and Kellan had never had any dealings with each other before. After all, one was always in West City and didn't venture into the city much while Zane rarely went over to West City except for some collaborations. They were supposed to be people who had nothing to do with each other.
But now they were suddenly entangled without warning.
"Mr. Lawrence seems forgetful of important people," Kellan said again with a smile in his voice. "Since Mr. Lawrence can't remember, let me remind him."
Zane remained silent and waited for Kellan's next words.
"The Johnson family," said Kellan.
As soon as Zane heard these words from Kellan, he instantly understood what was going on: "So you bought that piece of land in West City at such a high price just to help out the Johnson family?"
Kellan chuckled: "Mr. Lawrence, let's be precise about our words here; I'm not interested in the Johnson family at all - I only care about those whom I want to care about."
With that statement from Kellen, Zan understood that this was all because of Anna.
Thinking about it, Zan couldn't help but sneer:"Huo is really interesting - spending so much money just for someone who doesn't even love him back; truly admirable."
Kellen didn't take offense at Zan's sarcasm:"Mr. Lawrence should worry more about himself first. I've heard that you put in tremendous effort into coaxing your wife back. If Miss Thompson finds out what you did this afternoon, I'm sure you know what will happen, right?"
Kellen's blunt words hit home. Zan couldn't help but think back on what happened earlier today. Regardless if it actually happened or not, Kellen's photos would certainly prove something... If Kellan gave Yanis those photos, Zane felt like he might never be forgiven in his lifetime.
Kellan chuckled at Zane's silence. "Mr. Lawrence, as long as you don't touch Anna, I won't show those photos to Miss Thompson. After all, it's normal for men to have personal hobbies."
"She took my sister away."
Kellan was unaware of what Anna had done, so when he heard Zane say this, he was clearly confused. "Who took your sister away?"
"Anna."
After a few seconds of silence from Kellan, he spoke up again. "I'll have someone bring your sister back to you but I hope Mr. Lawrence will leave the Johnson family alone from now on and not harm her again."
"I want to see my sister and make sure she's okay."
"Okay."
After saying that Kellan hung up the phone.
As soon as Kellan hung up the phone, Zane turned around and met Yanis' worried gaze.
Zane froze for a few seconds before walking towards Yanis and saying: "Yanis let's go back first."
Yanis looked at him with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zane shook his head: "No."
Zane led Yanis out of the hospital: "Where's your car?"
"It's over there," said Yanis but she didn't give him the keys since she noticed that something seemed off with him.
Zane didn't say anything; he just nodded quietly.
Yanis wanted to ask what was wrong but stopped herself before any words came out.
The two left the hospital and drove straight towards D-king Castle.
Halfway through their drive, Zane suddenly spoke up: "Yanis pull over."
Upon hearing this, Yanis turned on her signal light and pulled over by the side of road after stopping her car safely. Zanesaid:"There is something I want to talk about with you, Yanise"
"What is it?" asked Yanise
Zanesearched for his words several times before speaking because every time hesitated when tryingto speak. He wasn't sure how exactlyhe should express himself. Yanisdidn't push him, she just sat quietly waiting for himto speakup onhis own accord. Time passed by slowly, and just as Yanniswas about readyto return home, Zanespokeup first:
"Yannis, I haven't done anything wrong againstyou."As Zane made his way down the street, he tried to recall everything that had happened earlier that afternoon. He was certain he hadn't touched those two women.
