Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728

The woman said, “I’m looking for Owen. Please let him know his sister’s here.”

The receptionist smiled and nodded. “Sure, just hang on. Mr. Shaw is in a meeting that should wrap up in about twenty minutes.”

Cathy responded with a casual “Okay” and took a seat in the waiting area. She’d just pulled out her phone when it rang, showing “Gerald” on the caller ID.

She answered calmly, “What’s up?”

Gerald’s cool voice came through, “I heard you went to Mandino City.”

“Yeah,” Cathy replied lazily, “Just visiting.”

“Since you’re here, why not come to Hogford City in a few days for my sister’s wedding?”

Cathy asked, “Your sister’s wedding? Why would I go?”

“You know she runs the family,” Gerald explained. “She said if you come, she’ll help me avoid all the blind dates.”

No one escapes the pressure from their parents to settle down, not even Gerald. “What’s in it for me?” Cathy asked.

Gerald paused, then asked, “What do you want?”

“I want to build my own team,” Cathy said, tapping the armrest. “You can be my right hand.”

There was silence on the line for a few seconds, then the call ended with a beep. Cathy clicked her tongue and put her phone away, feeling it was getting boring.

About twenty minutes later, she saw a group coming from another direction. She stood and walked over. “Owen.”

Owen stopped. “Cathy. Did you need me?”

“Can’t I come see you without a reason?” Cathy asked.

Others stopped too. Everyone at Seacrest Law Firm knew about Owen and Aria dating. Now that a pretty girl showed up looking for Owen, people were curious.

Owen said, “It’s work time. Let’s keep this quick.”

Cathy got right to it. “I want to meet your girlfriend.”

Some onlookers were a bit confused. Cathy continued, “Tessa invited her to join the State Security Bureau. I don’t know what came of it, but if she joins, she could be on my team.”

Hearing “State Security Bureau”, someone asked, “Are you Cathy?”

Cathy smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”

A girl stepped forward excitedly, “Oh wow, Cathy, can I get your autograph?”

“Sure, but later,” Cathy said, and then looked at Owen. “After work, I’ll go with you to visit Aiden.”

Owen replied, “My girlfriend isn’t planning to join the State Security Bureau. Grandpa moved near Cloe’s place. You can ask Kim to go with you.”

“Okay,” Cathy said. ‘Aria turned it down? Is the State Security Bureau not that appealing?’ Cathy thought. Cathy signed a few autographs and then left Seacrest Law Firm.

Owen went back to his office and opened WhatsApp. [Madelyn, any updates?]

Aria replied: [Someone else is treating her. I’m at Maverick’s, just got here.]

As Aria stepped through Todd School’s gates, she could feel the tension in the air. Nikolas lowered his voice, “We just dealt with an elder recently.”

Culver appeared from the corridor, wearing a gentle smile. “Aria. Nikolas, what’s going on with that Fletcher family kid?”

Nikolas’s face immediately went cold. “From now on, no one from the Fletcher family is allowed in.”

Finlay asked, “What happened?”

“Dad,” Nikolas said, clearly upset, “the Fletcher family hired Mr. White. They trusted that quack and even doubted our prescription!”

Finlay waved him off. “Let them be.” He turned to Aria. “Aria, your master is waiting.”

Aria nodded and followed without even looking at Culver. Culver, left standing there, looked grim but quickly put on his usual calm face when other students glanced over.

Nikolas watched it all from nearby, a cold smile creeping on his lips. Maverick called out, “Come here, girl. Check on me.”

Aria said, “Okay.”

She sat beside Maverick and placed her fingers on his pulse. Finlay waited quietly nearby. Every time Aria came, her father’s eyes didn’t tolerate anyone else. He’d gotten used to it.

Aria said, “A lot better than before. Looks like you have been in a good mood lately.”

Maverick smiled, “We took care of a big problem. Things are definitely looking up.” Culver wasn’t much of a threat anymore.

Maverick asked, “Flynt hasn’t shown his face again, right?”

Aria shook her head, “Not yet.”

But not now didn’t mean he wouldn’t come back later. Flynt was unstable and could cause trouble again. If he did, Aria was ready to take him out for good.

“I’ve got this. Don’t worry, just focus on getting better.”

“Alright. You even blew up the lab. I don’t need to worry about you.” Maverick felt lucky to have met her.

At the hospital, after two days of acupuncture, Avery kept getting better. Susan was very thankful to Ronin. “Mr. White, thank you so much.”

Ronin stroked his beard and smiled. “Well, you can thank me for taking the case. Just be careful next time and don’t trust just anyone.”
