The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 The Imperial Call

Preston commanded in an icy cadence.

Raymond relocating to Isabella’s private residence was an unexpected complication.

That estate was adjacent to the Carter compound, and whether it was financed by the Carters, the Waynes, or both remained murky.

In any case, Preston dared not make reckless moves on that turf.

He had failed to trace the deed’s transaction registry or purchasing accounts, deducing the Wayne family had quietly handled the acquisition on her behalf.

If that were true, walking into their crosshairs was a risk he couldn’t take.

Furthermore, tampering with Raymond’s care inside Isabella’s private villa was far too precarious.

A single slip would blow their entire operation wide open.

Therefore, Preston resolved to bide his time.

Over the receiver, Andre’s voice sounded exceptionally strained and cold, “Didn’t I instruct you never to call unless the house was burning down?

“What happened?”

Hearing his irritation, Preston hurried to explain, “Professor, we’ve encountered a minor complication on our end.”

He summarized Isabella’s intervention, adding, “The Sinclairs still refuse to surrender the IP, and since the granddaughter enjoys backing from the Wayne and Carter households, we were hoping to leverage your prestige to apply pressure on the Wayne family.”
