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.

When Ivy was on the island, she didn't stay in her room to paint. She always painted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Cory deliberately set up his study on the first floor. Although he never said it out loud,

The adults all knew that Cory wanted to be by his sister's side whenever she needed him.

Usually, the door of his study was left ajar, so he could hear if his sister was up to anything.

For example, he came out as soon as Ivy started crying just now.

But now,

Cory had closed the door tightly.

Hilaria stood at the door for a while, respecting the child's privacy.

Though curious, she eventually decided not to push the door open and went back to Ivy's side.

In the study, Cory sat on his custom-made computer chair, looking at the enlarged surveillance footage on the screen with a blank expression.

How could the phone be accidentally smashed so badly?

Cory pondered for a long time.

He reached out his chubby little hand and slid the progress bar of the surveillance video backward.

Before long, he saw a woman rush up to Wayne, rudely snatch the phone from him, and then smash it to pieces in plain view.

This woman...

Cory frowned slightly.

Olivia, the former queen of a certain royal family in the R Country, rumored to be Wayne's first love, and the person who had been substituting for his mom when she was with Wayne. Over the past five years, she had been close to Wayne.

Numerous times, the outside world had speculated that they would marry

All of this information came from a handy Tik Tok video about Wayne and Secretary Tesdal after the incident at the science museum.

Last time, at the painting exhibition, that lady was with Wayne all the time,

Were they fighting? So intensely?

Could it be that they were breaking up?

Cory was thinking like this
