Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 439

Old Zhou was left a little stunned by Amelia’s reaction.

“Wait, your husband’s not Mr. Pei? Then that Mr. Packman went out of his way for you all this time…” Zhou scratched his graying head, genuinely puzzled.

Is this what young people call love nowadays? He really was getting old.

Amelia slowly let go, her fingers tingling with leftover cold.

“Can I ask… is his name Ryan?”

Old Zhou shook his head. “No idea. I only ever heard people call him Mr. Packman. He’s a looker, though. In all my years, I’ve never seen a man that handsome. But honestly, being that good-looking as a man isn’t always a blessing…”

It was Ryan.

There was only one face that could leave such a lasting impression.

Since she’d woken up, Ryan always seemed to show up at exactly the right time, whenever she needed someone… but why? Their relationship was nowhere near close enough for him to go this far for her.

To her, Ryan was just a classmate from university—the one who constantly clashed with her.

She’d wondered about his intentions before, even asked him directly.

He’d told her to her face that he didn’t like her.

So why was he doing all this?

No one is that nice for no reason. There’s always something they want.

On the way home, Amelia hesitated for ages before finally sending Ryan a message: When do you have time? I want to talk.

Her message disappeared into the void. No reply.

For the first time, she couldn’t keep her cool. She actually called him, only to find his phone switched off.

Left with no choice, she contacted Francisco.

He picked up right away.

“Mr. Packman is out of the country on business. He uses a different phone when he travels.” Francisco paused, then asked, “Ms. Sadinton, is it urgent? I can pass along a message if you’d like.”

Amelia glanced out the window at the grey sky—looked like it was about to rain. “No, it’s nothing urgent. I’ll just contact him when he’s back.”

“Understood.”

The second Amelia hung up, Francisco fired off a message to Ryan’s other phone.

Francisco: Mr. Packman, Ms. Sadinton finally asked about you!!!

Three exclamation marks—his hands were literally shaking. Finally, maybe, Mr. Packman would get his chance.

Thousands of miles away, Ryan was sitting in a garden, head bowed over his phone as he read Francisco’s message.

His calm, dark eyes softened with a trace of a smile.

“Ryan!” A young woman’s cheerful voice rang out.

He tucked his phone away and looked up, lips curving as the beautiful girl jogged up to him. “Long time no see, Yan Yan.”

Zoe stood in front of him, her big dark eyes staring straight at him, trying to be bold. Ryan took a slow sip of tea, meeting her gaze head-on, unbothered.

His eyes were as deep as a well—impossible not to want to look closer, even if you might drown in them.

In the end, Zoe blushed first and glanced away.
