Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 138 Robert's secretary informed him that an unfamiliar woman had called his office, insisting she had something urgent to discuss regarding Edward.

Knowing Edward was Robert's son, the secretary promptly relayed the message. "Mr. Moore?"

"Send me the number," Robert instructed.

"Yes, sir."

After receiving it, Robert picked up the landline in his study and dialed the number.

The call connected almost immediately, and a woman's voice came through. "Hello?"

"This is Robert Moore. How can I help you?" Robert asked, his tone measured and calm.

He was a public figure, not a criminal, and there were plenty of times when he had to handle life's ordinary matters like anyone else. He had neither the time nor the patience for unnecessary theatrics.

Hearing his voice, Amelia quickly retreated to the guest bedroom and locked the door behind her. "Hello, this is Amelia Burnett," she said, her voice trembling slightly.

Robert immediately recognized the name.
