My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758

Martin really had enough of her always being like this.

When Joyce saw him looking at her and asking that question, she was so touched and wanted to say something. Yet, when she recalled that awkward situation that day, she quickly put that nonsense away and told him straightaway what was troubling her, “Martin, my family recently lost a bid for land near San Joto to the Riddle Corporation, and they’ve also taken a few of our projects recently. There’s a new recent project that we want to work on with the Riddle Corporation. My family has prepared well for it. Could you pass on a word to Mr. Wyance…?”

What the McCarthy family feared the most was if the Riddle Corporation asked first and got handed the project, then the McCarthy Corporation would be totally done for.

Martin glanced at her somewhat speechlessly. This sort of matter was the most boring of things in his eyes, and he did not expect Joyce to be out of sorts because of that.

He then said, “Don’t worry. I’ll let Dad know if the McCarthy Corporation really runs into trouble. Focus on the experiment and don’t get distracted again, or else…”

He gave Joyce a warning look, hinting that she should know what he meant.

Joyce understood what he meant as a look of surprise appeared on her face. She totally did not expect him to agree just like that. “Don’t worry, Martin. We’ve already at the final stage of our research. I’ll focus on it.”

Martin glanced at her, thinking to himself. ‘Oh, so you actually know that the research is at its final stage?’

However, in order to reassure her, he took off his glove and disinfected himself before leaving the lab. He stood by the door and gave his father a call.

The call only connected after a good while, and Martin said with some irritation, “Dad, what’s taking you so long to answer the call?”

A melodious voice came from the other end. “Martin? Your father is in a meeting right now. Just let me know if there’s anything.”

Martin frowned when he heard the voice. He almost wanted to immediately cut the line, but after pondering for a bit, he restrained himself. “Get my dad to call me back once he is done.”

After that, he pressed the red disconnect button on the phone screen.

Only then did he remember, ‘Isn’t Nicole from the Riddle family?
