The True Heiress's Return

Heiress’s Return 354

Chapter 354

Enrique was clearly startled when he heard Sean's voice. "Are you... Mr. Reynolds?" Sean put the call on speaker, giving Xanthe, who was trying to grab the phone back, a look that said Don't move," "Yes, it's me."

Enrique went quiet for a few seconds. He mumbled something to his wife, but his voice was too low for them to hear. Afterwards, Enrique asked again. "Mr. Reynolds, are you with my daughter?" "Yeah, we just bumped into each other. "Wow, what a coincidence,"

Enrique chuckled a couple of times and suddenly shouted from the other end of the line with full force. "You scammer, who do you think you're fooling? No way my kid would just happen to bump into Mr. Reynolds while hiking. I don't buy it." Sean's ears were ringing from the shouting. Xanthe was holding her stomach, almost doubled over with laughter. Seeing that flashy fool so upset, she thought her dad's outburst hit the mark perfectly.

Rubbing his cars hard, Sean kept a calm tone. "Mr. Sullivan, do you remember last week when I had my secretary deliver the documents from Harmony Realty to you?"

Enrique was still over there feeling proud for seeing through the con artist's tricks. "Of course, I remember. Those are encrypted files. Mr. Reynolds told us not to let a third person know, so I..." Right, this was confidential, and no third person knew. So, who else could it be but Mr. Reynolds himself talking? Enrique's voice faded, and even became a bit shaky. "Are you really Mr. Reynolds?"

Sean continued, "Next month's fifth resolution meeting on the Southville development..." "Mr. Reynolds, you are Mr. Reynolds." Enrique was nearly in tears, frightened. "Mr. Reynolds, please don't be-mad, I-I-I thought it was a scammer..."

Sean rubbed his temples that had been pounding for a while. "Mr. Sullivan, I'm with Xanthe, so you can relax." "Yes, I'm totally at ease. That mischievous child of mine didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

That mischievous kid, Xanthe? Sean said casually, "Just some minor issues." "Even minor issues can be a hassle for you, Mr. Reynolds. Since you're with Xanthe, I feel relieved."

Sean acknowledged and handed the phone back to Xanthe. Xanthe glared at him, feeling frustrated, and complained to her father who had quickly changed his mind. "Am I your daughter or is Sean?"
