Chapter 1420 Differing Treatments


    Colton returned to his room only to discover a dozen missed calls on his phone. He was taken aback,


    and his brow furrowed slightly. Who could possibly be trying to reach him so persistently at this hour?


    He picked up his phone, and his brow quirked in surprise. Isaac?


    Thus, he dialed back without a moment''s hesitation. If Isaac didn''t have anything of importance to


    discuss, he would certainly give the man a piece of his mind.


    "Hello, Colton, where on Earth have you been? Why didn''t you answer your phone?"


    Isaac''s voice came through the phone, clearly irritated that Colton was returning his call at such ate


    hour. He had made over a dozen calls. Yet, none were answered, which had left him quite frustrated.


    Could it be that a woman had been keeping Colton''s hands upied, preventing him from answering


    his phone?


    Of course, he only dared to voice such thoughts internally.


    "I was out today and didn''t have my phone with me. Is there something urgent you need?"


    Colton cut straight to the chase after briefly exining his situation.


    "Today, Roxanna approached me and mentioned that the medical base is nning to recruit overseas


    talents, but they are short on funds. Now, I''ve be one of their shareholders."


    At this point, Isaac couldn''t help but feel a sense of pride. After all, this was something Colton had


    wanted to do previously, but now he was the one who had aplished it. Colton can eat my dust,


    hah!


    "What''s next?" Colton''s expression darkened slightly at the news. Still, he suppressed any negative


    emotions he was feeling as he pressed for more information.


    He hadn''t heard anything about the medical base for quite some time. Instead, he had been


    preupied with investigating Kendrick''spany these past few days, leaving him with minimal


    sleep.


    For some reason, even though Nicole was carrying another man''s child, he couldn''t help but learn


    about her whereabouts.


    He didn''t probe too deeply because he knew those around him would keep him informed, so he wasn''t


    overly concerned.


    "There''s no ''next''. I invested two hundred million, and it stings."


    Isaac feigned disappointment. Frankly, he hadn''t anticipated Colton''s reaction to be so indifferent. This


    was no fun at all.


    "Alright. Carry on, then. There''s no need to update me."


    With that, Colton ended the call, not giving Isaac a chance to respond.


    Isaac stared at the phone that had been abruptly disconnected, slightly taken aback. He had to admit


    that this guy was truly a master at ending calls so suddenly. Was he a professional at achieving such a


    strange skill set in his past life?


    As he grumbled about Colton internally, he set his wine ss aside and inexplicably took out his


    phone. Then, he began scrolling through Roxanna''s social media feed.


    Roxanna was a simple, straightforward girl. If it weren''t for the medical base, she wouldn''t be


    concealing her emotions at all.


    However...


    Isaac recalled the expression he saw on her face today and smirked slightly. "Still not quite adept


    enough."


    Roxanna returned to the medical base and immersed herself in her work. She had to contact numerous


    overseas personnel. Since these potential recruits were scattered across different countries, each of


    them had their own unique work and rest schedules. To be honest, it was a daunting task.


    In other words, she had to pull an all-nighter and make several calls while doing so.


    She had finally wrapped up everything the following morning and sorted them into three categories:


    considering, rejected, and agreed. Then, she forwarded them all to Chloe in the form of files.


    After shepleted all these tasks, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep right there in her office.


    …


    "Isaac, the contracts have been coded."


    The secretary walked in with a contract and handed it to Isaac.


    To be frank, he hadn''t expected Isaac actually to invest in the medical base. Although the medical base


    had potential, it still fell short of thepany''s standards.


    "Alright, leave it here," Isaac responded nonchntly as he nced up briefly and continued with his


    work.


    He nned to deliver it personallyter. Perhaps he could even use the opportunity to pay a visit to


    Roxanna. He seemed to have developed a certain fondness for her ever since their encounter


    yesterday.


    "Isaac, aren''t we supposed to deliver this to Miss Miller?"


    The secretary looked at Isaac, worried he might forget about this task. So, he quickly took the initiative


    to remind Isaac.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    This was an important matter, so Isaac really couldn''t afford to overlook it. He was genuinely


    concerned. After all, Isaac usually delivered such documents directly to the concerned party instead of


    instructing him to leave them on the desk.
