Chapter 232


    Chapter 232 Charlies Yates Took the Initiative to Talk to You?


    Unwilling to admit the truth, I firmly decided to stick to my story and not engage in further conversation


    with him.


    As it waste at night and I was already exhausted from the day’s events, I went straight to bed to


    sleep.


    Fortunately, Idris did not continue to inquire but simply sighed softly and settled down on the makeshift


    bed on the floor.


    The night passed without any other incident.


    The next day, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. Groggy, I answered the call without


    checking who it was and mumbled, “Hello.”


    A cool male voice came from the other end, “Ms. Scott, it’s me, Charlie.”


    Charlie?


    Startled for a few seconds, my mind suddenly cleared. I cleared my throat and spoke into the phone,


    “Mr. Yates, hello.”


    The person on the other end seemed to be in a good mood, his voice slightly maic as he spoke,


    “I’m sorry for calling you so early. Did I disturb your rest?”


    I shook my head, then realized he could not see me, and said into the phone, “No, it’s about time to get


    up. Do you… need something?”


    “Yes,” he replied. His pleasant voice continued, “I’m looking to invest in something here in Lake City.


    Last night, I met with a leader from the city construction department, and he mentioned you’re


    considering taking over a project in Avaloria of Lake City. I just arrived here and don’t want to spread


    myself too thin. I was wondering if you’d be interested in partnering with me to take on all the projects


    in Avaloria?”


    I did not expect him to call me so early regarding this matter. Originally, I wanted to talk to him about


    this matter to see if we could reach an agreement, but I never expected that he woulde to me first.


    I was feeling overjoyed and said, “That sounds great, Mr. Yates. Where are you? Let’s meet and talk


    about this coboration,”


    He seemed to chuckle softly before responding, “I’m at…”


    “Who’s calling?” A low, slightly hoarse voice suddenly interrupted, startling Charlie into silence.


    Hearing the voice, I looked up and saw Idris getting up from the floor at the foot of the bed. He looked


    at me groggily and asked. “Why are they calling so early? Is it something important?


    His voice was still as hoarse and pleasant as ever.


    It took me a good while to realize that I had stayed in the Old Manorst night and slept in the same


    room as him. I opened my mouth as I looked at him, unsure what to say.


    I had no choice but to say to Charlie on the phone, “Mr. Yates, please send me your address, or


    I can send you mine, and we can meet to talk.”


    The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before speaking again, “Did I disturb


    you?”


    I quickly shook my head. “No.”


    “Okay, we’ll talkter,” came the man’s slightly deep voice from the other end. I could not gauge his


    emotions through the phone, but somehow, I felt that Charlie seemed a bit displeased upon hearing


    Idris‘ voice..


    After the call ended, Idris, with his eyes slightly narrowed, watched me intently. His voice was low and


    composed as he asked, “Mr. Yates? Charlie Yates?”


    I nodded and calmly exined, “He approached me to discuss a coboration on several projects in


    Avaloria.”


    Idris pursed his lips, his eyes growing inscrutable. After a moment, he asked, “He initiated the


    discussion about the coboration?”


    I nodded. Although I was also curious, I did not reveal any unusual expressions.


    At that moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by Charles‘ voice, “Mr. Young, Mrs. Young.”


    Hearing the voice from outside,


    s got up and asked, “What is it?


    “Something happened at the Western Garden. Madam Young wants you both to go there,” Charles


    responded.


    Hearing this, both Idris and I were startled.


    The Western Garden was where Liam and Emily lived.


    Idris‘ brows furrowed slightly as he inquired, “What happened?”


    Through the door, Charles simply said, “It’s better if you see for yourselves,” before heading


    downstairs.


    Thinking of the incident that had happened in the backyardst night, I grew worried. I quickly got


    dressed and hurried out, with Idris following me. Seeing my concern, he asked, Do you know what


    happened?”


    I shook my head, sighing slightly, “I’m not sure, but it must be something serious, or Grandma wouldn’t


    have called us over so early.”


    Hearing this, Idris did not press further.


    As we rushed over to the Western Garden, we noticed it was eerily quiet outside. Dr. Langford, who


    had left the previous night, was leaving with his medical bag, followed by Mr. Zachary.

    Seeing this situation, I could not help but step forward and ask, “Mr. Zachary, what happened?


    Seeing our worried expressions, Mr. Zachary reassured us with a slight smile, “Nothing to worry about,


    it’s good news. Go inside and see for yourselves.”
