The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 567

For a moment, Dylan was rendered speechless.

Because he suddenly realized she might have a point...

So, this was his fault?

Hearing the undercurrent of resentment in her voice, Dylan's anger faded, replaced by a twinge of guilt.

But what was she complaining about?

When they got married, hadn't they agreed to a contract marriage with no interference in each other's lives?

In that instant, Dylan remembered what Dennis had said.

Could Dennis have been right?

She became his secretary because of him...

He stole a glance at Rebecca and saw her staring angrily out the window. Her stubborn profile made him feel even less confident.

"Rebecca, I…" Dylan started to speak, but Rebecca's phone suddenly rang.

Dylan had to swallow the words he was about to say.

Rebecca answered the phone. "Samuel, what's up?"

Samuel said on the other end, "I just saw the three Fosters leave. They're heading for our family's estate."

Rebecca frowned. What were those three up to now?

"Okay, I get it. I'm on my way back now."

After hanging up, Rebecca turned and said, "Mr. Austin, I have something to take care of. I have to go."

Dylan was taken aback. They hadn't finished their conversation, and she was already leaving?

"Where are you going? I'll drive you."

But Rebecca shook her head. "No, thanks. I'm going home with my brother."

The guard remained impassive. "I'm sorry, you can't enter without an appointment."

Hogan said anxiously, "I really have urgent business with him. Please, make an exception."

He had to see the old man tonight, or the matter of the jade pendant would be a lost cause.

That pendant was the key to the Foster family's rise, and now, at the final hurdle, everything was falling apart, leaving him frantic with worry.

The guard looked at them, then spoke into his radio.

A moment later, he said to Hogan, "You may go in. Mr. Thomson is waiting for you in the living room."

Hogan was instantly relieved. He said "thank you" several times and hurried inside.

Jane and Katherine followed close behind.

In the living room, George was sitting on the sofa. He nodded slightly as they entered. "Mr. Foster, you're here."
