Chapter 1147
[ 577 words ]
The entire scene had turned downright bizarre.
Especially for Idris. He hadn’t had a woman by his side in years; his primary focus had always been executing tasks for Ronald Quinn.
And now, this mess had happened on his way back from dropping off Octavius.
Ronald’s expression turned stormier. “You’re going to handle this?”
Idris stammered, “I… well…”
How was he supposed to handle it?
He had done countless things for Ronald over the years, but this had nothing to do with him; he had to defer to Mr. Quinn.
Idris had already interrogated Norma Lillian thoroughly and sent someone to verify her identity.
Her family’s house on Westbridge Peninsula was indeed sold, a fact confirmed by former neighbors.
So what now? Was he supposed to personally drive her all the way to Philly? It was over a thousand miles, and with the roads not entirely being highways, it would take at least three days!
Three days… Idris got a headache just thinking about that number.
Before he could even finish his thought, Ronald shot him an intensely oppressive glare.
Idris fell completely silent.
Just like that, the rest of his words were swallowed back down.
Ultimately, Idris took Norma Lillian away.
Stella walked up behind Ronald, and he immediately pulled her into his arms. “Even Idris has his reckless moments.”
At a critical time like this, how could he just bring a random person back?
Stella reasoned, “He’s always meticulous. He must have investigated her thoroughly.”
Ronald sighed, “Right now, my biggest fear is people with ulterior motives.”
Stella paused.
Ulterior motives?
“I don’t think so,” she murmured.
The way Norma Lillian had nervously clutched Idris’s sleeve earlier didn’t look faked. She clearly hadn’t seen a spectacle like this before and was genuinely terrified.
Furthermore, her hands were deeply calloused and rough, especially around her palms and fingers, bearing the hallmarks of someone who spent years hauling fishing nets.
She had lived in the harsh, weather-beaten environment of Westbridge Peninsula for years. Although her complexion was somewhat fair, her skin had a weathered texture to it.
It was clearly the result of years of manual labor alongside her parents.
Yvonne came back inside after
taking
phone call, only to find
Ronald locking dead seriousnet
Stella spoke to him in hushed tones.
Ronald then turned and headed upstairs.
Yvonne walked over. “What were you talking to Ronald about? He looked so serious. And why did dris bring a woman back? Who is she? Conteft .net>
Stella replied, “He picked her up on the road.”
Yvonne stared. “What?”
Picked her up?
Instantly, a spark of pure amusement lit up Yvonne’s eyes.
“Idris? Picked up a woman? Are you serious?”
Yvonne pictured the girl’s tearful, pitiful little face, and her gaze upon Stella grew impossibly bright.
“That’s impossible. Idris is the most cold-hearted person by Ronald’s side.”
Otherwise, how did he earn the title of the most terrifying executive assistant in Ferrowland?
Over the years, countless people had tried to get close to Ronald by bribing Idris first.
Their methods were endless, and tossing beautiful women his way was certainly one of them!
But this was Idris.
He was professionally trained. No
matter what kind of stunning
woman was paraded was paraded in front of him,
he remained as cold
And now Stella was telling her that Idris had picked up a stray woman…
This was the joke of the century.
Stella nodded. “He really did.”
“Where? How?”
Stella was momentarily speechless.
Meeting Yvonne’s eager, glittering eyes, Stella realized for the first time just how
much she loved a good piece of gossip.
Then again…
Look at who the gossip was about.
This was Idris. In all these years, no one had ever managed to dig up dirt on him.
The man’s record was squeaky clean.
