Chapter 2297 Shrinking Net Worth


    Rnd’s eyes were red as he spoke, and he did not finish his sentence.


    How could yton not know these things?


    Rnd walked over excitedly and watched as yton limped down the stairs with a cane. Rnd was


    shocked.


    He thought, ‘What happened to Mr. Sloan’s leg?’


    Rnd’s face stiffened.


    yton looked indifferent and had no change in expression.


    A waitress who was in uniform and had a good figure quickly went over to yton when she saw this.


    “Sir…”


    yton nced at Kira indifferently and looked away.


    The waitress withdrew her hand, looked at yton worriedly, and stepped aside.


    Rnd blinked and suddenly realized something.


    He remembered Nicole’s expression when she told him that yton was still alive.


    Suddenly, Rnd pursed his lips.


    There was a bit of silence in the air.


    yton came down the stairs slowly and steadily. He looked at Rnd nkly and walked to the area


    behind the divider.


    “Follow me.”


    Rnd hurriedly followed yton.

    He looked at yton’s tall and straight back and noticed that yton’s gait was no longer brisk.


    yton looked like he was shrouded in sadness and decadence, and he seemed to have aged


    considerably.


    He should not look like this.


    Suddenly, Rnd felt his eyes getting a little sore.


    yton sat by the window and happened to see the extremely unique and detailedndscape in the


    courtyard.


    He was silent for a moment before he thought of Rnd.


    Rnd was still standing there, at a loss.


    yton raised his chin and pointed to the chair opposite him.


    “Have a seat.”


    Rnd silently walked over and sat down. He raised his eyes and could not help but say, “Mr. Sloan,


    when did youe back? We thought that you...”


    Before he finished speaking, yton curled his lips.


    “Thought I was dead?”


    Rnd was silent.


    “Well, not everyone. Your wife never believed that you were dead.”


    yton’s face froze slightly.


    Rnd suddenly remembered the waitress with the good figure from earlier.


    There was something between her and yton that made it seem like she was not an ordinary


    employee.


    Rnd immediately felt sorry and indignant for Nicole.


    He felt that it was wrong for yton to do so.


    yton should have returned to his original life just based on what Nicole did for him. Not to mention,


    he had a family and responsibilities.


    How could yton hook up with a waitress with a good figure and a mediocre face? It was an insult to


    Nicole!


    Rnd did not expect yton to be such a shallow person.


    The more Rnd thought about it, the angrier he became. He misunderstood the situation.


    In a fit of anger, Rnd said, “Back then when you were missing, Ms. Stanton couldn’t sleep for several


    days. If her family hadn’t taken her back, I don’t think she would be able to survive. After a while, she


    finally got better. I heard that she went to see a psychiatrist too. Mr. Sloan, you don’t understand how


    difficult it was for her to survive while taking care of her daughter. None of us dared to mention your


    name in front of her. I didn’t even dare to appear in front of her often. How could you suddenly show up


    without saying a thing? How could you not contact her when you were safe? Why did you make her


    worry for so long?”


    The more Rnd spoke, the paler yton’s face became. Finally, his face was paper white.


    Rnd suddenly stopped talking.


    yton looked to be in pain.


    Rnd thought of yton’s leg and immediately fell silent.


    “I know you didn’t mean it…”


    Perhaps it was because of some force majeure that yton could not return to Nicole immediately.


    yton was in pain.


    After a long silence, yton’s face and lips were still pale.


    yton did not exin what happened.


    He pursed his lips and said in a hoarse and dry voice, “She told you I was here?”


    Rnd lowered his head and responded.


    “I went to Stanton Corporation to report on the progress of yourpany today, and she said that I no


    longer need to report to her anymore. Then, she told me to look for you. I didn’t expect to really find you


    here...”


    yton sighed helplessly and seemed to be at a loss for what to do, but Rnd could not see his


    fragility.


    Rnd put the documents in front of him, paused, and said guiltily, “The business sh drive that you


    kept in the hotel abroad is gone. I looked for it but couldn’t find it. The safe is fine. I don’t know if I


    remembered it wrong...”


    “I know. I took it.”


    As soon as yton said this, Rnd was shocked.


    This meant that yton was already in France when they were there. He even took away the sh


    drive first.


    In other words, Rnd was not entirely wrong with the usations earlier.


    Rnd took a deep breath and thought, ‘No wonder Ms. Stanton was angry… Anyone else will also be


    pissed off!’


    He suppressed the emotions in his heart, coughed, and talked about business.


    “By the way, Mr. Sloan, part of your movable assets and real estate has been transferred to your wife’s


    name ording to your will. Now that you’re alive, those properties will be restored under your name


    ording to thew. We will need to go through the procedures again for those that were already


    transferred…”


    Some of yton’s property could not be transferred for a long time. If it were not for that, yton


    would not have a penny left in his name.


    yton’s worth shrunk significantly.


    Almost half of his worth became Nicole’s.


    That was because he did not show up sooner.


    yton was unfazed. He said in a t voice, “There’s no need to transfer them back. Just leave it.”


    He felt more at ease if his property were in her hands.


    It was as if this would link them together.


    Rnd nodded and thought about another important question.


    “Mr. Sloan, when will you return to the office? This restaurant is losing money, right?”


    Rnd did not see many customers around. It was a high-end restaurant, so the cost of ingredients


    must be expensive.


    Such restaurants generally did not make much profit.


    yton’s face was indifferent, and he did not seem to care.


    “I won’t go back for the time being. You can deal with thepany matters yourself. If you’re unsure,


    you can ask me.”


    Rnd was even more puzzled. Co?tent оf Draмa?ovеls.cом


    yton rolled his eyes at Rnd and had a gloomyplexion.


    “What nonsense are you spouting?”


    Rnd mentioned the waitress, so he must have noticed something wrong with Kira.


    However, yton was not bothered to exin to Rnd.


    “Don’t spread such nonsense.” yton’s voice was cold.


    “Okay...”


    Rnd looked at him.


    yton nced out the window. His eyes flickered slightly.


    “You said that she was seeing a psychiatrist. Is it serious?”
