Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1420

Chapter 1420 Differing Treatments

Colton returned to his room only to discover a dozen missed calls on his phone. He was taken aback, and his brow furrowed slightly. Who could possibly be trying to reach him so persistently at this hour?

He picked up his phone, and his brow quirked in surprise. Isaac?

Thus, he dialed back without a moment's hesitation. If Isaac didn't have anything of importance to discuss, he would certainly give the man a piece of his mind.

"Hello, Colton, where on Earth have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?"

Isaac's voice came through the phone, clearly irritated that Colton was returning his call at such a late hour. He had made over a dozen calls. Yet, none were answered, which had left him quite frustrated.

Could it be that a woman had been keeping Colton's hands occupied, preventing him from answering his phone?

Of course, he only dared to voice such thoughts internally.

"I was out today and didn't have my phone with me. Is there something urgent you need?"

Colton cut straight to the chase after briefly explaining his situation.

"Today, Roxanna approached me and mentioned that the medical base is planning to recruit overseas talents, but they are short on funds. Now, I've become one of their shareholders."

At this point, Isaac couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. After all, this was something Colton had wanted to do previously, but now he was the one who had accomplished it. Colton can eat my dust, hah!

"What's next?" Colton's expression darkened slightly at the news. Still, he suppressed any negative emotions he was feeling as he pressed for more information.

He hadn't heard anything about the medical base for quite some time. Instead, he had been preoccupied with investigating Kendrick's company these past few days, leaving him with minimal sleep.

For some reason, even though Nicole was carrying another man's child, he couldn't help but learn about her whereabouts.

He didn't probe too deeply because he knew those around him would keep him informed, so he wasn't overly concerned.

"There's no 'next'. I invested two hundred million, and it stings."

Isaac feigned disappointment. Frankly, he hadn't anticipated Colton's reaction to be so indifferent. This was no fun at all.

"Alright. Carry on, then. There's no need to update me."

With that, Colton ended the call, not giving Isaac a chance to respond.
