Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 192

When Julian answered the phone, Vivian also stopped eating.

The dining room was quiet, and Meredith's urgent voice came through the speaker clearly, exploding in their minds like a sudden clap of thunder.

Julian froze. He exchanged a glance with Vivian and asked a beat too late, "What do you mean?"

The mother and son had a strong unspoken connection. From his brief pause, Meredith guessed it might not be a convenient time for him to talk. Calming down slightly, she asked, "Are you at the office?"

Julian answered honestly, "I'm at Vivian's."

Meredith paused. She wasn't sure if Vivian was nearby or could hear her, but figuring there was no need to hide this, she confessed, "It's about our new company. There's a problem."

Julian set down his fork and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"The company's legal representative passed away."

As Meredith's words hung in the air, the dining room descended into an eerie silence once more.

What did she mean the legal representative passed away?

And why would the DBO show up just because of that?

What was the connection?

"It's my fault," Meredith admitted before Julian could even ask. "I borrowed an ID from a relative back in our hometown. I just never expected something to happen to him."

He was a healthy man in his forties, with no illnesses or accidents. Who could have predicted he'd suddenly meet with an accident and just be gone?

Meredith briefly explained the purpose of the DBO's investigation.

Julian was speechless for a long time. Even the usually compliant Vivian showed a complicated expression.

They had borrowed someone's ID to register a company, yet didn't even know if the person was dead or alive?

If this hadn't actually happened to them, anyone hearing it would think it was a sick prank.

"We barely kept in touch anyway, and I've been so busy since the new year that I didn't reach out. Who could have known he'd have an accident?" Meredith sounded frustrated and annoyed. "Something this huge happened, and his family didn't even notify me."
