After making the call, Tyler pondered for a while. Then, he made another call. When the call connected, Tyler flashed an intrigued smile at no one in particular.
"My dear sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's noon. You should be eating at this hour. Don't starve yourself. I'll feel sorry."
Tyler took many people like his sister-in-law, but he had only one. That was the wife of Niall, Nolan's older brother.
"I'll stop joking now. There's something I'd like to remind you about. Nolan's really something now after coming out from prison.
"He wanted to check the village business' financial reports. Besides, he even said we received bribes. You'd better prepare yourself. I'll resolve this, but I can't guarantee nothing will wrong.
"As for your incapable husband, I think you'd better not arrange any labor work for him for the time being. Or I'll find some easy tasks for him to do.
"Okay, okay. You didn't come with us. I truly miss you. But we're returning a few days later. Don't worry. We probably will make a fortune again this time. Ha ha ha!"
After Tyler ended the call, he returned to the private room unsatisfied. Meanwhile, in a double-story building in Rio Village, there was a woman in her 30s who dressed lavishly.
As soon as she ended the call, she yelled, "Niall Greene, you're such rubbish. You're taking so long to prepare a meal. Do you want me to starve to death?"
Upon hearing the woman's yell, an honest-looking man in his 30s who wore an apron quickly came out of the kitchen.
"Sharon, I'm almost done. Don't worry."
The woman held her abdomen and sneered. "You're taking forever to do something. It's okay if you make me starve, but if you make the baby starve, just wait for it."
Upon hearing that, Niall looked at Sharon Peach with a gentle expression and said, "Don't worry. I'll not make our son starve. I'll prepare the meal right away. I'll go right now."
"If you really want the best for your brother and don't want him to be in trouble, you'd better advise him not to act rashly. If not, it doesn't cost much to get rid of a life. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Niall covered his face and shivered slightly. He stared at the woman's bump and was in resignation.
"Okay. I got it. Don't be mad. I'll talk to Nolan when I see him. I'll persuade him. Don't worry."
Only then did the woman nod satisfiedly. She sat on the couch and sneered. "I'm so unfortunate to have married a loser like you. Go and prepare the meal.
"By the way, I'm going back home in the afternoon. My younger brother just built a three-story villa and bought a new car. I'll have to drop by to congratulate him.
"Besides, my mom also bought a new house in the city. I have to pay a visit by then. Don't come with me. It's too embarrassing."
