The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 461

On the surveillance footage…

Wayne bent down to pick up the severely damaged phone.

He fiddled with it for a bit. It seemed like that the phone was completely busted.

He called a staff over, had a few words with him, who quickly ran off. Not long after, he brought back a phone.

Wayne took the phone, and said thanks to the little helper.

He dialed a number, and soon the phone rang.

The incoming call was from an unfamiliar number.

Before Hilaria could speak,

Ivy couldn't wait to answer the phone, "Mister!"

"How did Ivy know it's me?" came Wayne's gentle, amused voice on the other end of the line.

Ivy realized she had slipped up.

But the clever girl quickly added, "Only mister would call Ivy!"

"Oh, right." Wayne chuckled, "I just accidentally broke my phone. Did I scare Ivy?"

"Nope." Ivy shook her head.

She didn't mention anything about thinking that he was kidnapped.

Cory took back his laptop, his eyes downcast, and whispered to Hilaria, "I'm going back."

Who knew that right after he said that, they heard Wayne ask, "Is Ivy's brother there too?"

"Yep!" Ivy quickly replied.

Cory paused for a moment, but didn't say anything or greet Wayne, and went straight back to his study.

Hilaria watched his small figure, and felt a little strange inside.

Cory seemed to be a bit excessively cold towards Wayne.

Although he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about anyone except his mom, he still had basic manners.

As Ivy quickly continued the unfinished conversation with Wayne, Hilaria got up and walked towards Cory's study.
