My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 356

"Where is York now?" Lucian asked.

"Unclear. He vanished for a few years, but rumors about him still circulate in our circles." Christian flipped to another page in the file.

"Some say he's in Singapore, others say Europe. Nothing is confirmed, but there are also whispers that he's returned to the country."

Lucian sat in silence for a few seconds.

If Harvey was connected to York, then Lennox MicroSystems was far more than just a simple microchip startup.

"Keep digging," he ordered. "Find out exactly what kind of relationship Harvey has with York."

"Understood."

As Christian turned to leave, Lucian spoke up again.

"Also, look into whether Landon has had any direct contact with York."

He couldn't shake the feeling that something was incredibly off.

Christian hesitated. "Do you suspect the mysterious backer behind Landon is York Zeller?"

Lucian didn't answer, but his silence was confirmation enough.

Christian nodded and left the office.

Silence descended upon the room once more.

Lucian stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the bustling traffic below, deep in thought.

York Zeller.

It had been a long time since he last thought of that name.

But some people don't simply vanish just because you stop thinking about them.

They linger like shadows in the dark—just when you think you've finally shaken them off, you turn around, and they're right behind you.

Taking a deep breath, Lucian returned to his desk.

Yet, a gnawing sense of unease settled in his chest.

He couldn't quite pinpoint why.

It was pure intuition.

For York to resurface now, targeting the microchip project, and going through such a convoluted route using Landon as a proxy...

What was his true endgame?

It had to be about more than just securing this one project.

If his ambitions were grander...

The screen went silent for about three seconds.

Then, the man slowly removed his glasses, wiped them, and answered in an icy tone.

"It's far deeper than just 'bad blood'."

"Oh? Then what is it?" Landon asked, highly intrigued.

"It's a debt," York said, a chilling, emotionless smile spreading across his lips as he stared directly into the camera.

"It's time for him to pay me back what he owes."

Staring into those ruthless eyes on the screen, Landon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Had he just aligned himself with someone he shouldn't have messed with?

The man seemed dangerously unpredictable.

But there was no turning back now.

Because Landon had a debt to collect as well.

What Lucian owed him was the absolute right to inherit the Langford empire.

And he was going to seize it back with his own two hands.
