Chapter 484: 484: Hang up her call
Having made up her mind, Enna Clark was not one to be overly dramatic. She walked to the balcony and dialed Baron Lawrence’s number—
“Ring…”
Her call was answered after just one ring, but the other line was utterly silent.
Enna Clark couldn’t explain why, but she suddenly felt nervous. She held her phone with one hand and rested the other on the balcony rail, biting her lower lip and softly said, “Hello?”
The phone was still silent.
The static sounds from the phone echoed in the receiver.
Enna held onto the railing and her knuckles turned white from nerves, “Baron Lawrence, are you listening?”
After a long pause, a hoarse voice finally came from the other end, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want me anymore?”
His voice was so raspy as if he had not had water for days and was filled with raw emotion.
Enna couldn’t deny that even in muteness, Baron Lawrence’s voice was perversely enticing. But, recalling Scott Harris’s words, her heart ached uncontrollably. She tightened her grip on the phone, “……I didn’t say that.”
“You did!”
And you did it quite thoroughly!
On the bed, with no reaction, you stabbed me in the back, causing me to bleed! Then you ripped my heart out using fireflies as an excuse!
The president’s office was quiet as the boss of Imperial Peak Corporation sat awkwardly, watching Baron and wondering who would dare to call Young Master Lawrence. He was ignoring him and had gone to the floor-to-ceiling windows to answer the call…
Enna was left speechless by his words. After gathering herself, she decided not to let him lead, “Baron Lawrence, I heard about the news from Country W…”
The man’s proud and cold face suddenly changed color, saying sternly, “What did you say?”
Who told her?
Didn’t he instruct Scott Harris to block those messages?
Just who dare to mess around with Enna!
Enna did not expect such a reaction. She confessed, “I found the same woman’s perfume on your shirt twice, and……that afternoon, I wanted to send a family photo using your phone and saw a text message someone sent you. The message mentioned the news.”
Enna skillfully avoided mentioning Olivia Lewis.
“Baron Lawrence, don’t you want to explain this to me?” The tone Enna used was not one that was intended to challenge. It was very calm and accepting. It was as mild as asking if he wanted vinegar in his noodles.
However, Baron Lawrence was far from calm. His handsome face grew stern, the temperature in the office quickly dropped to freezing, the pressure was so great even the boss of Imperial Peak Corporation sitting on the couch could feel it!
Enna waited a while for the person on the other end to speak, “Hello? Baron Lawrence? Are you still there?”
“Yes.” His eyes clouded with indecision, but he finally seemed to have made up his mind, briskly striding towards his office desk, “I have something to attend to, I’ll hang up.”
Without waiting for Enna’s response, he hung up. He threw his phone on his desk, sat down irritated on his chair, suddenly stood up as if he had forgotten that someone else was in his office. Picking up his phone again, he dialed another number, “Hey, where are you? Stay put, don’t wander off. I’m coming to pick you up.” After saying that, he put on his coat and walked towards the door without turning back…
The boss of Imperial Peak Corporation was left dumbfounded, he stood up and called out, “President Lawrence?”
But Baron Lawrence continued walking, as if he hadn’t heard anything——
