Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 605

Once Tabitha finished her meal and Wendy took her to school, I finally had a bit of time to myself.

I sent the prepared documents to Douglas, asking him to help arrange Tabitha's visa for Berland.

Once her condition improved, I planned to take her abroad. Since Nicholas hadn't insisted on having Tabitha registered under his name, all we needed was my consent letter for the visa. The longer we delayed it, the more complicated it would get.

Douglas's response was quick. "I've already double-checked the documents. There shouldn't be any issues. Are you in a hurry with this? If you need it, I can make arrangements to expedite the process."

"No rush. Tabitha's condition has been unstable lately. We'll leave when she's doing better."

The voice on the other end sounded a bit sentimental. "I hope Ms. Thompson's spirit can watch over Princess Tabitha. Born into such a good family, she deserves to enjoy a blessed life."

I felt a pang of emotion as well and thanked him again. Without Douglas, I wouldn't have had so much time to spend with Tabitha. I'd probably be like my mom, always doing things I didn't want to do.

Douglas was forthright, admitting that he had also gained status and wealth through our partnership. He had a pragmatic view of things, and my bringing it up too often felt overly sentimental.

He then smoothly changed the subject. "Has Ms. Warren contacted you?"

"Yasmine?" I shook my head. "No, why?"

"She must've heard somewhere that we're investigating the Fisher family. She asked me for spy cameras and portable recording devices..."

I was shocked. "Did you give them to her?"

Douglas sensed my alarm and quickly reassured me.

"No, I didn't. I told her to ask for your permission. I know Yasmine is your friend, but this is a risky matter. Without your approval, I wouldn't give her the equipment."
