Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Something Science Couldn't Explain

Everyone in the room had sharp enough instincts to catch what Paige had just let

slip. But given the situation, no one asked her to elaborate.

Mabel still looked pale, but there was a liveliness in her eyes. Her energy had

no telling how long he'd been there, or how much he had heard.

Alistair's heart skipped, but he quickly steadied himself, nodding politely as he

passed.

Gordon didn't move. A few seconds later, he said, "Hold on."

Alistair paused, inwardly sighing. He turned with the composed half-smile of

someone used to power plays.

"Something on your mind, Mr. Gordon Ashbourne?"

Gordon's tone was direct. "The reason you didn't want my

mother leaving New York-was it because you already knew she was sick and

wanted to help?"
