No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 830

"Allen, you're seriously tying me up too? Aren't you afraid of a lightning strike from above?"

Yolande was also confined, stuck with me in the same room.

Honestly, I was surprised by Allen's move, but not shocked. Allen was the type who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals; heck, he'd even set his own mother ablaze if it meant getting what he wanted. There was nothing he wouldn't do.

Conrad, who had tagged along, was just standing there, playing the part of a detached spectator. Whether at the funeral or now, he seemed like a completely different person.

"Aunt Yolande, you're one of Ernest's people, right? Anyone associated with him is potentially a weak spot I need to watch. Collecting people like you is just insurance for when I need to save my own skin," Allen said with a smug grin plastered on his face.

He then glanced at Conrad. "Isn't that right, Mr. Conrad?"

Conrad didn't even bother to look at him. He just turned to me, asking, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Any news from Fanny? Has Sinclair made any moves?" I knew it wasn't wise to ask these questions in front of Allen, but I was too worried about Fanny.

"You know Sinclair's looking out for her. Stop worrying and focus on yourself," Conrad reassured me, implying Sinclair wouldn't leave Fanny to fend for herself.

I didn't know much about Sinclair, but the past few days had shown me that he wasn't just a businessman. He had his own network and influence.
