Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 Hidden Plans

The lawyer spoke, “The court had already begun bankruptcy liquidation for the Hales, but now Newton Group suddenly stepped in.

“And just now, a top-tier international medical malpractice legal team contacted me.

“They’ve already started investigating the case involving the anti-cancer drug that caused five deaths.”

After hanging up, Agnes couldn’t calm down for a long time, her thoughts in complete turmoil.

Why does that man never tell me anything before he acts?

And this time, does he even know what he’s doing?

Agnes immediately called Raymond, but then she heard a ringtone outside.

Raymond’s at the house today too?

Agnes walked to Raymond’s room. Sure enough, the lights were on. She knocked.

Raymond opened the door. Seeing the faint anger on her face, he smiled.

“What’s wrong? To what do I owe the honor?”

Agnes’s voice was sharp with emotion. “Raymond, are you out of your mind? Do you even realize the Hales are a complete mess right now, a bottomless pit?

“You’re throwing 100 billion into it, and it could vanish without a trace!

“Are you playing games with the entire Newton Group? Are you gambling with everything they have?

“Did I ask you to help me? This is ridiculous!”

Raymond leaned against the doorframe, watching her flare up with clear amusement.

For some reason, this actually made him happy. It felt familiar. Warm.

How long has it been since Agnes let herself lose her temper in front of me like this?

A faint, teasing smile curved his lips.

“Technically, that money came from my personal fund.”

Agnes saw him still joking around, not taking any of this seriously.

She got so mad that she swung at him. “You’re still laughing?”

Her wrist didn’t make it back before his warm hand caught it.

He pulled, and her whole body tipped forward into his chest.

A faint, clean scent wrapped around her, and she could even feel his breathing

“You’re worried about me, Agnes?”

His breath brushed against her ear.

Agnes panicked, bracing a hand against his chest and shoving him away as she stumbled back a few steps.

“Careful…”

His broad hand caught her waist, steadying her.

Agnes looked up into his deep, brown eyes, and something in her chest went unsteady.
