Chapter 616 Waiting Under the Tree


    Yunice knew that if they wanted to get this kind of man to talk, they’d have to rough him <b>up </b><b>a </b><b>bit</b>.


    But the guy turned out to be one of their own. If he got hurt, it would be hard to exin things to Victor.


    Then she heard Wyatt say irritably, “Already chopped him up.”


    Yunice immediately went silent.


    Wyatt didn’t hear a peep from her for a long moment. He turned his head to look and saw her staring down, fingers nervously twisting in herp, lips nearly chewed raw.


    Wyatt quickly corrected himself. “I was kidding. I didn’t touch him.”


    Only then did her expression ease a little.


    When they got to the school gate, Yunice unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car, not letting Wyart walk her in.


    As she approached the gate, she turned back and waved at Wyatt, then jogged onto campus.


    Wyatt smiled as he watched her disappear into the crowd. Just then, he got a call from Jordan.


    “Wyatt, what time are you getting to the office? There are still two project contracts that need your signoff…”


    Wyatt replied, “Noting.”

    It was so brief Jordan almost didn’t register it. His voice shot up. “Noting?”


    People around him nced over, and he quickly lowered his voice. “Wyatt,e on. Thepany’s swamped. I’ve been covering for you and Mrs. Cooper this whole time. You know how hard this is?”


    Wyatt soundedpletely unconcerned. “It’s nothing you can’t handle, Mr. Jordan.”


    Jordan felt the weight of the world. “Wyatt, seriously. Mrs. Cooper has school during the day and needs to rest at night. You’ll only see her for three or four hours after ss<b>. </b>Is it really worth camping out over there?”


    Wyatt said, “My wife’s in a bad mood. She needs me.”


    Jordan groaned. “Thepany needs you. I need you!”

    Wyatt raised a brow. “Can thepany hold me while I sleep? Can <i>you </i>hold me while I sleep?”


    Jordan was speechless.


    He mmed the phone down.

    Life was too hard. Jordan sighed. “How long do I have to keep covering for him…


    Then he felt someone behind him. Turning around, he saw Nora smiling faintly a short distance <b>away</b>.


    Jordan’s gaze sharpened. He kept his tone smooth. “Ms. Nora. What brings you here?”


    Nora leaned on her cane. “Jordan, can I see Wyatt? I promise Yunice won’t know.”


    She hesitated a beat, then added, “It’s about my brother…”


    Her fingers picked at the edge of her cane, chipping away at the painted surface.


    Jordan didn’t say a word more than he had to. “Ms. Nora, don’t worry. Once Wyatt has time, I’ll let <b>him </b>know you stopped by.”

    Nora blinked. “Wyatt’s at the office?” D


    Jordan paused, then turned back coolly. “Of course he is. Who told you otherwise?”


    Nora said, “But Yunice told me she was at school. Didn’t Wyatt go with her?”


    Jordan snorted like it was a joke. “Where’d you hear that nonsense? Even if Mrs. Cooper were <b>overseas</b>, Wyatt wouldn’t leave her side if he could help it. But he’s got things to do here.”


    Then his tone cooled. “And Ms. Nora, you used to work with Wyatt. You know he hates people digging into his personal life.”


    “Thest time you went snooping around Pavilion Hall, Wyatt let it slide. But if you pull something like that again, it won’t go so easy for you.”


    As Jordan walked off, Nora gripped her cane tighter. He really did act just like Wyatt pretending to be polite anymore.


    But it didn’t matter. She knew Yunice was at school. That was enough.


    –


    not even


    “Mr. Jordan,” Nora suddenly called after him, smiling. “Yunice was the one who told me. You don’t believe me, you can ask Wyatt yourself.”


    Jordan frowned and said nothing.


    Nora had been Wyatt’s secretary once. She still knew how to worm her way in.


    Back at the office, making sure he hadn’t been followed, Jordan called Wyatt again and ryed everything Nora had just said.


    “Wyatt, why would Mrs. Cooper be in contact with Nora? Why would she tell her she’s at school?”


    Wyatt was silent.


    “Is she hinting that she’s not home? Trying to give Nora an opening? Wyatt, what if Mrs. Cooper’s <b>also </bying a trap for you while she’s finishing her revenge ns?”


    “If you stray, it’ll be that much easier for her to leave you.”

    Standing under a tree on campus, Wyatt watched the walkway ahead. He <b>answered </b>quietly, Norac full o tricks. Who knows if she’s telling the truth?”


    <b>“</b>Then what should we do?”


    “Ignore her.”


    Wyatt ended the call and crossed his arms, leaning against the tree as he kept his eyes <b>on </b>the two <b>figures </b>up ahead.
