?Chapter 224:


    “Ronald will take care of it. Today, my only focus is you,” Brian replied with a smile.


    Later that evening, Rachel stood in a high-rise hotel, looking out at the vibrant city below. The night view was breathtaking.


    Meanwhile, Brian was in the bathroom taking a shower, unaware that his phone continued to ring on the bed. The ringtone echoed, suggesting it had rung multiple times already.


    Rachel approached the phone and saw the caller ID on the screen. It was Tracy calling.


    From outside the bathroom, Rachel’s voice pierced the silence. “Tracy just called for you. Can you take it?”


    Brian’s casual reply caught her off guard. She hadn’t anticipated his confidence in her handling the call.


    “Why don’t you handle it yourself?”


    “No worries. It doesn’t matter who picks it up.”


    His casual dismissal might haveforted her, or perhaps her curiosity about Tracy’s call at such an hour prevailed.


    “Brian…” Tracy answered, her toneden with urgency as if she couldn’t dy another second. “This is Rachel speaking.”


    There was a brief pause on the other end before Tracy’s grip on her phone tightened. “Isn’t Brian supposed to be abroad? Howe you two are together?”


    “Miss Haynes, since we’re a couple, isn’t it typical for us to be together?”


    “Are you visiting him too?”


    It appeared Tracy was also abroad.


    “Hand the phone to Brian. There’s something critical we need to discuss,” Tracy demanded with authority.

    “He’s currently in the shower, but I’ll make sure he gets the message,” Rachel replied. But why should she bother?


    A wave of fury washed over Tracy. When had it be necessary for her tomunicate with Brian through Rachel, depending on Rachel’s willingness?


    In frustration, Tracy ended the call with a sharp click.


    Brian emerged from the shower shortly afterward.


    Rachel saw no point in concealing the conversation and had no intention of doing so.


    “Tracy mentioned she needs to discuss something important with you.” She observed Brian closely, anticipating some reaction.


    However, his demeanor was one of unruffled calm, his reply smooth, “It likely concerns thepany. I’ll have Ronald get in touch with her.”


    In Rachel’s presence, he dialed Ronald and quickly briefed him.


    “Are you not going to return her call?”


    “No, I’d rather spend the time with you,” he said decisively.


    That night, as they settled in, Rachel broached a delicate subject. “Should we invite Tracy to our wedding?”


    “The decision is yours. If you feel like inviting her, we will; if not, then we won’t.”


    “I’d rather she note.”


    She didn’t want to give Tracy a chance to make a scene at her wedding. Her only wish was for her wedding day to be wless.
