Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Throw that piece of shit out of his house

[Globe International]

"Boss, your assumption was correct," Taylor reported as he stood beside Xander’s desk. "Logan Mortini is in the country, but he deliberately skipped the meeting."

Xander remained silent, signaling for him to continue.

"Logan and his wife arrived in Country P on the same day the meeting was scheduled. However, instead of coming to see you, he went to meet a specialist regarding Mrs. Mortini’s condition."

Taylor placed a file on the desk.

"He seems desperate, Boss. From what we’ve gathered, his wife’s condition has worsened significantly. Even the doctor they consulted doesn’t appear optimistic about her chances."

Xander’s expression remained unchanged.

"Which doctor?" he asked after a brief pause.

"Dr. Merik from Healthcare Hospital."

A flicker of understanding crossed Xander’s eyes.

"I see."

Taylor studied his boss for a moment. Seeing Xander lost in thought, he hesitated before speaking again.

"Boss, could this be an opportunity for us to help Mr. Mortini?" he suggested. "Second Young Master Aaron is affiliated with the same hospital."

Taylor knew how devoted Logan was to his wife. If there was even the slightest chance of saving her, Logan would pursue it without hesitation.

However, Xander shook his head.

"You think Logan doesn’t already know that?" he asked calmly.

Taylor fell silent.

"Someone like Logan Mortini would have investigated every possible option long before coming here," Xander continued. "If Aaron could help, Logan would already be aware of it."

He leaned back in his chair.

"But Aaron is an Emerson."

The meaning behind those words was clear.

Xander’s gaze drifted toward the city skyline outside his office window.

From what he had learned, Logan had intentionally ignored him.

Logan probably believed that by refusing to attend the meeting, Xander would eventually abandon the idea of working with him altogether.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Xander’s lips.

Unfortunately for Logan, he had misjudged him.

Xander Emerson had never been the type to back down simply because someone closed a door in his face.

Still, he understood one important thing.

No matter how determined he was, forcing Logan into cooperation would only push him further away.

For now, patience would serve him better than pressure.

"Why hasn’t Aaron called you yet? Did you not try hard enough to charm him?" Florine asked, narrowing her eyes at her daughter, who seemed more interested in her phone than the conversation.

Nora paused and slowly lifted her head. She met her mother’s piercing gaze without flinching. Unlike before, Florine’s constant criticism no longer affected her as much.

"I did my best, Mom," Nora replied calmly. "But if you still have doubts, then stop asking me about it."

She was tired of the endless complaints and expectations.

From the beginning, Nora had made it clear that she wasn’t comfortable with Florine’s plan to push her toward Aaron. She had never liked the idea of deliberately trying to seduce someone for personal gain.

Florine studied her daughter carefully. Earlier, she had strongly opposed Nora getting involved with Aaron. Yet after the date, Nora seemed perfectly fine—far too calm for someone who had supposedly been rejected.

Should I just wait for Lilianna to contact me? Florine wondered.
