The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1405

Osborn was panting.

“If my buddy really handed over what you needed yesterday, you might be in action tonight. Then this surveillance would catch you red-handed. You can't hold onto the inn, let alone the island, you might even end up in the clink!!”

Zenobia was looking pretty grim. That woman, mom, and Osborn were all scared stiff of her...

“Zenobia...”

Osborn's throat bobbing, some words stuck in his throat that he just couldn't spit out.

In the end, all he could do was sigh.

“Anyway, don't let Alan show up. Those people are ruthless, if they find out he's been our mastermind, they won't let him off the hook,” Osborn said seriously, “We'll do our best to protect the island and the inn, but if we can't hold on, you have to take responsibility for your future, Alan's and mom's. Just take the money, and start a new life somewhere else with mom and Alan.”

Zenobia was getting paler by the minute.

Osborn went on, “Don't be so stubborn, you'll end up hurting mom, and hurting Alan!”

At that, Zenobia was taken aback.

The image of the woman known as the president's wife, with her icy, intimidating gaze, flashed before her eyes.

Zenobia sagged. Alan was still not fully recovered, she couldn't let him get hurt by those people.

If it really came down to it, she couldn't just give up on mom and Alan for the sake of the island and the inn, could she?

“I understand.” Zenobia nodded.

“I'm sorry.” Osborn hung his head.

Zenobia kept silent: “Are you leaving?”

Osborn shook his head: “No.”

“That's good, we've all been busy dealing with the businessmen lately, no one's been talking to Alan. You're his friend, stick around and keep him company.” When Zenobia mentioned Alan, all her wildness seemed to vanish, replaced by nothing but gentleness.
