Chapter 488


    Chapter 488 Come To My Vi Tonight


    Colton shook his head, too. At the moment, there was no lead to follow up on. Nicole lowered her eyes


    without speaking. As things currently stood, they had no choice but to wait for the driver to speak up.


    Anna’s head ached as she thought about these things. Moreover, her anesthetic had worn off by now.


    Besides her headache, she was also suffering from sore feet, which made her feel especially


    ufortable. She waved her hand, saying, “This is tooplicated, so I’m not gonna think about it.


    Colton, help me look into it. If it wasn’t intentional, then forget about it.”


    Colton nodded before helping move Anna up.


    Anna’s car ident instantly put the Gardners on edge once again. Wanting to check on her condition,


    Lydia visited the Gardner Residence several times, only to be thrown out by the Gardners, who said


    that even though Anna survived the car ident, she needed a good rest without being disturbed.


    Lydia couldn’t do anything about it, but there was no news from Colton about the wedding being


    canceled, so she assumed that nothing had gone wrong on Anna’s side.


    …


    Dous had been feeling inexplicably restlesstely. He didn’t know why, but it was perhaps because


    of Whitney. Now her pitiful face appeared in his mind whenever he closed his eyes.


    He loosened his cor, but just as he wanted to go out to get some fresh air, he heard his assistant


    lecturing the new secretary. “Don’t you know that Mr. Lane never attends dinner parties? Turn down


    these social engagements right away.”


    Dous paused in his tracks. Turning to look at them, he suddenly asked, “Is there a dinner party


    tonight?”


    After hearing his words, his assistant immediately replied with a nod, “Yes, there is, Mr. Lane. But you


    said before that you wouldn’t attend these social engagements, so I’ll turn it down for you.”


    “No, you don’t have to. I’ll attend the dinner party tonight,” Dous replied.


    A hint of surprise flickered across the assistant’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it and replied


    respectfully with a nod, “Yes, I got it.” Everyone knew that Dous didn’t like to engage in social


    activities, and yet he said he was going to attend tonight’s dinner party. It was as if the sun had risen in


    the west today—unbelievable.


    After getting drunk from drinking a lot of wine, Dous phoned Whitney. Even though he never saved


    her number on his phone, he was able to tap it out on the phone’s screen as if he had eyes in his


    fingers. “Come to my vi tonight,” he ordered before hanging up at once.


    She clutched her phone with a baffled expression. However, she had no other choice. Since their


    previous conversation, Dous had indeed withdrawn his appeal against her family. For the time


    being, her family wasn’t in danger, but she had to pay off her brother Michael’s debts by herself.


    At the moment, she had no choice but to do her best to please Dous. Otherwise, if he got


    displeased and made an appeal again, her family would have to face the disaster once more.


    At the moment, the Campbell Family were still dominating the furniture manufacturing industry.


    However, Michael had taken over the family business in recent years. Thanks to that dumb*ss’


    ipetence, the Campbell Family’ family business had suffered a drastic decline with no signs of


    improvement since his takeover.


    Although Jonathan had resumed control of the family business afterward, thepany had suffered


    heavy losses under Michael’s management and had only been able to break even over the past few


    years. As a result, the Campbell Family’ position as the industry leader had be just a name.


    Whitney entered the vi, which looked the same as before. However, the small figurine next to the


    television was gone, and the trash can was empty.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    A hint of disappointment shed across her eyes; little did she think that Dous would actually throw


    the figurine away. At the same time, though, she was somewhat nervous deep down.


    Three days had passed since shest met Dous here. And today, he called her all of a sudden,


    asking her toe here as if he wanted to do something. He had merely told her toe here, but


    she smelled something fishy in his words.
