The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 506

Rebecca frowned. 'Samuel, that's all in the past. I don't know why he came to Wye, but there's no chance of anything happening between us.'

'Right. As long as I'm around, he won't dare try anything, but you should still be careful.'

After his warning, Samuel's expression turned serious. 'By the way, I just found out a few days ago that Crystal Thomson was secretly swapped out and taken away.'

Rebecca was shocked. 'Who would be so bold as to do something like that?'

Samuel frowned. 'I'm still investigating it. You don't need to worry. I just wanted to remind you to be wary of not only Alan, but Crystal as well.'

Rebecca nodded. 'Okay, I understand.'

As they were talking, Samuel caught sight of Alan heading their way out of the corner of his eye.

'Rebecca…' As soon as Alan broke free from the crowd, he rushed to find her. Seeing her go upstairs with Samuel had made him even more anxious.

He never knew she had done so well for herself after coming to Wye, effortlessly mingling with such influential people.

Alan felt a mix of surprise and jealousy, but above all, a sense of threat.

'Rebecca, I need to talk to you,' Alan said, stepping forward without shying away from Samuel's gaze.

Rebecca frowned at the sound of his voice. 'What do you want to talk about?'

Alan glanced at Samuel, clearly feeling his presence was an inconvenience.

Samuel frowned, displeased.

But in the next second, Rebecca clarified, 'Not a pleasant surprise. More like shock. Alan, what are you doing in Wye?'

Her cold demeanor was like a bucket of icy water, instantly extinguishing the warmth that had just kindled in his heart and leaving him with a sense of loss.

Alan's smile froze on his face. He decided to hide his true intentions for now. 'Rebecca, I came to Wye for better opportunities. I'm no longer content with just being the richest man in Nion.'

Rebecca raised an eyebrow. She knew Alan was ambitious, so his answer didn't surprise her.

'Oh? Well, I wish you success in Wye.'

Her tone was polite but distant. She wasn't interested in Alan's affairs; she just hoped he would stop bothering her.

Rebecca started to leave, but Alan suddenly blocked her path. 'Rebecca, quit your job as Dylan's secretary. Come back to me. I can give you a better life.'
