    Chapter 158 Sir, Are You In a Contract Rtionship


    Even though Ethan wasn’t a superstitious person, he’d rather be cautious than regretful when it came


    to safety matters.


    Most importantly, why would Dalton give such an important sugllite pendant to Wynter? This didn’t


    make


    sense!


    Ethan kept the question to himself, not daring to inquire further with Dalton.


    Max, however, didn’t hold back. “Boss, Dr. Genius has figured out that I’m your subordinate.”


    “Figures.” Dalton paced, recalling that Wynter had always been a clever woman, his l*ps curled. “She


    pays attention to the smallest details.”


    Max let out a sigh of relief, then quickly reassured Dalton, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Mr. Yarwood Senior


    about your little secret.”


    “Secret?” Dalton stared at his fingertips and asked calmly, “What secrets do I have?”


    Max thought that Dalton didn’t trust him, so he spilled everything he knew.


    “Dr. Genius has already told me that you and she were just pretending. In fact, you’re in a contract


    rtionship. You’re doing it to fulfill her grandmother’s wish


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Contract rtionship? What contract rtionship?


    Ethan was dumbfounded upon hearing that term


    Stopping his pace, Dalton’s hands were slightly stiff on his sides.


    Yet, Max continued to talk as if he had the full picture of what was going on.


    “I get it, Boss. You agreed to act with Dr. Genius to avoid Mr. Yarwood Senior’s arranged marriage,


    right?”


    The joy in Dalton’s eyes gradually turned cold


    As his charming face revealed a hint of coldness, his l*ps slightly pressed, asking with indifference,


    “She


    said it was fake?”


    “Uh–huh,” Max nodded,pletely unaware of the trouble his words had caused


    Dalton turned to him, his nce and voice bing lighter, as if they could be blown away by the


    wind. It’ll be real one day.”


    Huh?


    Max didn’t catch that clearly, so he quickened his pace, wanting to get closer to Dalton.


    However, Dalton spoke no further. His tall and straight figure exuded a chill, his coat tails fluttering in


    the


    wind, appearing cold and aloof.


    His limited–edition Maybeck was still waiting for him in its original spot, discreetly avoiding unnecessary


    attention.


    However, they still attracted notice, as Dalton had just returned from overseas with an unusually lege


    number of bodyguards.


    A group of conspicuous and imposing men in ck stood in a row. As Dalton approached, they


    respectfully opened the car door for him.


    Exuding an air of power and nobility in his dark trench coat, Dalton looked like a mafia boss


    He had never shown this side of himself to Wynter.


    To Wynter, Dalton Yarwood was just a patient with ailing health and a pale


    *Choose a different car next time,” Dalton said casually as he sat in the back seat.


    His new special assistant, Franklin Lynch, quickly handed him a pen and documents. “Yes, Sr. What


    kind of care should I arrange for next time? Deluxe version? Or a morefortable on


    Folding his legs, Dalton nced over the documents in the car, then smoothly signed. “One that is


    more


    economical.”


    Taken aback by Dalton’s reply, Franklin carefully said. “But Sir, the cheapest car at your residenc over


    400 thousand… We’ll need to purchase a new car if you’re looking for something more economical”


    “Mm–hmm, I’ll leave it to you,” Dalton replied calmly, concealing his intentions


    Franklin, who had just reported for duty a few days ago, was quite shocked upon receiving such a tak


    Although puzzled, he didn’t ask further, instead, he marked this task as a priority


    After all, the previous special assistant was dismissed for interfering with Dalton’s affairs and taking


    matters into his own hands.


    Franklin wouldn’t be so foolish as to meddle with the head of the Yarwood family


    Moreover, although Franklin wasn’t aware of what had happened in the alley, Dalton was obviously in a
