When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1362 It Must Be Emmanuel

Calvin furrowed his brows as he listened to the elders on the phone. "Since the board has entrusted me with all the overseas operations, they should trust me unconditionally!"

"Don't think we old folks are clueless about your intentions. You're doing this for that married woman! The board has unanimously decided not to provide you with any more funding unless you come back and admit your mistake. And if you can't bear to let that woman go, we'll take care of it ourselves!" The voice on the other end delivered the ultimatum before abruptly hanging up. Calvin gripped his phone tightly.

He hadn't expected that even while he was abroad, this group of stubborn elders would still find ways to interfere.

Without hesitation, he dialed Yannick's number. "Are you aware of what those old geezers are up to?"

Yannick sighed heavily. "I knew they wouldn't let you get involved with Cecilia. I warned you before."

Calvin's tone turned sharp. "Did you rat me out?"

"Of course not!" Yannick replied, sounding affronted. "How could I betray you? Have you forgotten I took a beating for you back when Nathaniel's people came after you?"

Calvin paused, his suspicion easing, knowing that Yannick wasn't the type to stoop so low.

"Then it must be Emmanuel!" Calvin's voice hardened as the realization hit.
