Chapter 226: Conversation on the Abduction

Cassidy's voice is loud enough to catch Ray's attention, and at his astonished expression, Aira only grins and ends the call.

"I know I haven't talked to him in the past couple of years or so, and since it's his brother I'm working together with on this case, I have only contacted his secretary at most..." he commented wryly.

"But that didn't sound like President Millicent at all."

"That was his wife, Cassidy..." she explained, a little embarrassed.

"I forgot to tell big sis that I was coming here."

"Oh, is that so? Make sure not to do that next time. She must've gotten worried about you."

"I know. Sorry. I wasn't thinking properly when I came with you. I also doubted she'd be as considerate as Sir Adrian, so I didn't tell her."

"Well, at least you're with me and not with some stranger."

His grim implication is clear enough.
