Chapter 1322

The phone rang for a while before Braylon answered.

Braylon breathed slightly, seeming very anxious.

“Mrs. Humphrey, what can I do for you?” He asked urgently, and the other end of the phone seemed chaotic; I could faintly hear the sound of someone wailing.

My heart tightened in an instant.

I asked him, “What are you doing? And where is Reynaldo?”

“Mr. Humphrey?” Braylon said anxiously, “Mrs. Humphrey, don’t worry. Mr. Humphrey is fine; we are currently dealing with some important matters, so let’s leave it at that for now. Goodbye.”

Braylon hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

I stared heavily at the darkened phone screen, feeling anxious. How was Reynaldo going to deal with Matthew and Moshe? I’m not afraid of anything else, just afraid that he would choose to die with Matthew in order to protect me and the children.

I leaned against the stone table, propping up my forehead, feeling nothing but boredom and anxiety.

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang.

I lowered my eyes and saw that it was actually a call from Reynaldo.

I hurriedly answered the call.

Reynaldo’s deep voice came from the other end, “Braylon said you just called him. Is there something wrong?”

Reynaldo’s voice was calm and gentle, and it seemed very quiet on his end.

I pursed my lips and said, “It’s nothing, just worried about you when I saw you weren’t home.”

I paused and asked him, “What are you doing?”

“I was dealing with company business,” Reynaldo chuckled. “Don’t worry, I don’t have anything important.”

After a while, he seemed to be teasing me on purpose, smiling as he said, “You just got up, right? Have a nap after eating. After all, you were really tired last night.”

The more deliberately he spoke to me in this relaxed tone, the more uneasy I felt.

I asked him, “When are you coming back?”

“Well, I haven’t been to the company for many days. There are quite a few things accumulated. I probably won’t go back tonight. You go to bed early.”

When I heard him say he wouldn’t come back tonight, my heart felt even more anxious.

“Mr. Humphrey…”

At that moment, it seemed like someone was calling out to him on the other end of the phone.

Reynaldo smiled and said, “Alright Esmeralda, I have to go; I'm busy now. Take care of yourself and the children at home; don’t run around. I will finish my work as soon as possible and then come back to be with you all.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the snowman not far away with a heavy heart.

My intuition told me Reynaldo was not at the company.

There was also Braylon. Just now Braylon’s voice was so anxious, and there seemed to be cries of people around; it was obvious that someone was injured on his end.

And there was Johnathan. Tomorrow Johnathan’s case is going to start trial.

I was feeling uneasy and had a sense that something bad had happened. If all these bad things could be resolved and ensure that the people around me are safe and sound, how wonderful it would be.

Thinking of this, a thought that I had once forcefully suppressed resurfaced.

I furrowed my brows and looked through my phone.

After much hesitation, I finally opened the blacklist on my phone and released Matthew’s number.

When I called Matthew, he seemed a bit surprised. However, his tone was very bad, with a terrible sullenness.
