My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2323

Chapter 2323

As Nicole was thinking of Preston and Ellar, she helplessly shook her head and chuckled softly. She wondered if Mr. Riddle Sr. would be angry if he knew about Preston and Ellar's behavior when the property deeds for the Riddle family manor were lost.

'Even if they believed me, aren't they curious about who exactly took them?'

Meanwhile, Damien had already returned home.

"Go upstairs and check on Chloe,” Damien said, glancing at Miley.

"Okay," Miley replied and went upstairs.

"Dad, any updates?" Everett eagerly waited until Miley's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs before asking.

Damien shook his head. "No."

"Why is it taking so long?" Everett furrowed his brows slightly as his expression turned solemn.

"Don't worry. The arrangements were made with trustworthy people. They won't have other intentions," Damien whispered. Besides, those things were only useful in his hands, and not in anyone else's.

"I'm just worried that delays may lead to more complications." Everett's tone softened a bit. He was anxious, but he did trust the people his father chose.

Damien fell silent for a moment as he wondered, 'He's right. It has been quite a while, but why hasn't any news come back yet?’

After a brief hesitation, he decided to make a phone call, but no one answered the phone.

"Dad, could it be..." Everett's gaze slightly darkened.

Damien's expression also turned grim. Why was his call unanswered? Could something have really happened?

The butler came over, appearing hesitant with an unusual expression. "Sir, two individuals have arrived outside, and it seems..."

"Speak clearly. Don't beat around the bush," Damien said with a touch of displeasure.
