Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 113

York couldn't help but breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

At least his best friend was still on his side.

But Manuel scoffed, "That little film company of his? What's he ever going to accomplish with it?"

York jumped in defensively. "It's not ‘nothing'—Beasley invested a hundred million dollars in it!"

If his best friend had his back, surely he wouldn't blame him for dragging him into this, right?

Even so, York shot a quick, guilty glance at Beasley.

Beasley didn't even look his way.

Another silent breath of relief.

Paige reached over and gently patted her husband's back, trying to calm him down. Manuel waved her off, then fixed his gaze on their son, eyes stern. "If it wasn't for your friendship, do you really think Beasley would have invested in you?"

"Don't get yourself worked up—remember your blood pressure," Paige said softly, giving his back another soothing pat.

York was usually a smooth talker, but in front of his parents, he always tread carefully.

Especially with his aunt Claire here.

Wasn't she supposed to be living halfway across the country in Stratus City? What was she doing back, and with her whole family in tow?

There hadn't been any big family events lately…

As York puzzled over why Claire had come home, she spoke up.
