章節 131: They Failed

Michelle watched the phone ring until it stopped. If Selene was calling her, it only meant the men she had sent didn't succeed in what she had tasked them to do.

She looked away from her phone, hoping Selene wouldn't call her again. It was dinner time and she was seated with the other members of the Wallace family in the dining room. 

But luck wasn't on her side when her phone vibrated before the ringtone filled the entire dining room. 

"Maybe you should pick it up. It could be important," old Wallace suggested as she stared at Michelle, whose forehead was already coated with sweat. 

Michelle glanced at old Wallace and her inlaws who were also staring at her. 

She nodded slightly before excusing herself and rushing towards her room to answer the call, ensuring no one could hear what she was saying.

"It took you long enough to pick up my call. Are you that scared of me, Michelle? You shouldn't be darling."
