Chapter 409

Joseph's face darkened considerably. Melina's voice was hoarse as she suddenly called out, "Jason." The angry stream of curses on the other end of the line abruptly stopped. Then came an exclamation of surprise. "Oh! It's you, Ms. Melina! How are you calling me from Joseph's phone? Wait… don't tell me you've taken care of that scumbag? What about Mr. Wentworth? How is he doing?" Joseph's expression turned even more sour. Fearing the call might be cut off, Melina quickly asked, "Jason, why did Mr. Wentworth Senior suddenly fall ill?" "Why are you asking that, Ms. Melina?" Jason hesitated. "Was it something Andrew did?" Melina pressed, her voice tense. Jason thought back to the events of a few days ago. Andrew had stormed into Wallace's study, visibly upset. After their private conversation, Wallace had coughed up blood. Jason had rushed in, alarmed, but he hadn't figured out what had happened. Andrew and Wallace had looked shaken, almost as if they'd been arguing.
