My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Tristan Sinclair

Sinclair Tower.

On the highest floor of the Sinclair building in the Fort City business center, a man in his early thirties, over 6 feet tall, stood by a glass wall. Even though office hours had long passed, he still looked dashing in a dark gray custom suit—that man was Tristan Sinclair.

A few minutes had passed, and Tristan just stared at his cell phone in his hand after receiving a call from his butler.

He didn't understand why she left the house.

In a rush!

He already stated in his alimony that the house now belongs to her, so she didn't have to move from that house.

"Why did she leave now?" He muttered softly.

...

"Boss," a man's voice could be heard from behind. Tristan turns to look at the door. "Your mother called a few times, but your phone was busy. She asked me to tell you to call her back, something important she needs to tell you..."

Tristan didn't utter anything. He immediately dialed his mother's number. On the first ring, the phone was picked up. Jessica's voice sounded rushed when she greeted him. He could only sigh deeply, hearing his mother without interrupting her.

"Tristan, why did you give our family house to that woman? Why do you decide things like that without telling your mother?" Jessica paused for a moment to take a deep breath; her chest felt tight with anger. "Son, our ancestors will be angry if the house falls to outsiders like her. Please cancel your offer; give that woman money as much as she wants..."

Tristan felt a headache hearing his mother's words. He massaged his eyebrow with one hand while taking a deep breath, "Mother, her name is Bella," he said calmly, trying to correct his mother. "And, Mother... I can't undo what I gave her. The house is hers!"

Tristan is sure Bella left the house in a rush solely because of his mother. He could imagine his mother kicking Bella out of the house. How troublesome!

Jessica flared, hearing Tristan respond, "But Son, how could she live here if you married Laura? She will—" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Veins appeared on Tristan's forehead. He didn't let his mother finish her words, "Mother, I will talk to you later," he ended the call.

After talking to his mother, Tristan continued to pinch his temple to distract himself from his headache; then, he glanced at Dylan, his assistant.

"What happened!?" Tristan asked. He could see Dylan look panicked when he talked on the phone.

Dylan walks toward Tristan. He stops a few steps from him before saying, "Boss, Mr. Turner, calls. He said he needed to speak to you. There's something urgent you need to know."

Tristan frowned, wondering why his lawyer needed to speak to him again. Did something happen with the task he assigned him?

He immediately dial John Turner's phone number.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you now," John Turner's voice sounded from the other end. "There's something I need to report."

"You can talk now," Tristan answered while walking to the sofa. He gestured for Dylan to leave him before he sat on the single black leather sofa.

"I just remembered something important I must share with you, Sir. Yesterday, Ms. Donovan asked me to sell the house and all the shares you gave her..." John told him everything that had happened when he had met Bella the previous day.
