The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1554

Out of the blue, Rosalynn started to feel that maybe fate wasn't being a total jerk to her.

While she was deep in thought, an unexpected call came in from overseas.

Rosalynn was about to hang up, but seeing where the call was coming from, she unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

She turned around, walked through the side door of the living room and into the little garden at the back, then answered the call.

"Who's this?" She asked.

On the other end of the line, a friendly laugh from a man came through, "Ms. Jared, this is Hunt Khunban. You might have heard of me."

"Oh, Mr. Khunban, what's up?" Rosalynn answered, not being confrontational but maintaining a friendly tone.

"Ms. Jared, I think there's been a misunderstanding between you and my wife. I'd like to help clear the air, mediate between you two." Hunt's tone remained cordial, "I heard one of my wife's bodyguards decided to hurt you on her own, which has pissed off President Jared. Now she's mad as hell and wants me to hand over my wife..."

"So you're saying your wife had nothing to do with it and it was all her underling's doing?" Rosalynn's voice held a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Khunban, let's leave your wife out of this for now. I have another matter, was planning to ask you in person, but since you reached out, I might as well ask."

Hunt went silent for a moment, then continued in his friendly tone, "Ms. Jared, whatever you want to ask, fire away. I'll tell you."

"After my husband's incident, President Jared immediately contacted you to tighten up on the ports. The ship my husband was on, I've checked, the route he took out was through your turf. We gave you a heads-up about this crucial location, but the ship still managed to leave the port smoothly. Why is that?"

Hunt was panicked. Now he's got to deal with Gabriella digging up his past before he's even solved the current problem!

After Heatherway's death, he thought he ought to do something. So he agreed to Hilaria's request to tighten up on the port on the surface, but behind the scenes, he told his men to just go through the motions.

He didn't expect this decision to let the ship carrying Wayne slip through!

"Are you sure it left from a port under my control?" Hunt, who grew up in a rough-and-tumble environment, was always quick on his feet, "Give me some time, I'll get to the bottom of this for you and President Jared!"

"How much time do you need?" Rosalynn asked calmly, "With your abilities, a day should be enough to figure this out, right?"

"A day is enough!" Hunt quickly responded, then added, "So about my wife..."

"I suggest you do as President Jared instructs, you know her temper, once she gets riled up, even I can't calm her down." Rosalynn said with a laugh.

"Ms. Jared, my wife's health isn't good. She depends on medication to get by. Can we let bygones be bygones and stop arguing over this?" Hunt's voice hardened a bit, "You're now the heir to the Jared Group and the real power behind Bane Corporation. The value of the goods the Jared Group and Bane Corporation buy from me every year is astronomical. For the sake of our long-term partnership, Ms. Jared, you might want to give this some thought. After all, it never hurts to have more friends, right?"
