The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2254

His seated posture was domineering, and he pushed Susan's and Tyler's cups aside before ordering another cup of coffee for himself. He looked up at me. "Would you believe me, President Lane, if I said it was a coincidence?" I wore a slight smile on my lips. "Of course, I would. I don't think there is a reason for you, who's always busy with things, to follow me."

Cole smiled when he heard that. It even reached his eyes.

"Is the person who left just now Tyler Schuman?" he asked, but he seemed to already have the answer some time ago.

I had become accustomed to Cole's 'supernatural powers' and did not deny it. "You know everything, don't you, Mr. Anders?"

"Is he your brother?" Cole asked again.

I leaned back, amusement crossing my features. "You seem to be very interested in my network, Mr. Anders."

Cole raised a brow before nodding. "Yes, I am indeed very interested in you, President Lane."

He said that on purpose.

It seemed that Theo was right. Perhaps he really was somehow connected to me, and he might not have said anything just because it was not time.

I kept my composure and replied, "I wonder what makes you so interested in me?"

"Sir, your coffee."

Cole's coffee came. He picked it up and took a sip. "You're just like this coffee, President Lane. Memorable."

That sounded dubious, but I did not replace it greasy.

I smiled. Not wanting to play this riddle game with him anymore, I asked directly, "What's with your sudden appearance, Mr. Anders?"

Seeing that I had now cut to the chase, Cole ceased being glib. "I come to this coffee shop often, so it was indeed a coincidence to be meeting you here today, President Lane. I was already here before you arrived."

He pointed to a position in the front right. There was a magazine on the table over there with several pages turned. He was sitting there just now.

"You weren't paying attention, and your voice was now soft at all, so I overheard you. I wasn't eavesdropping." Cole raised a brow.

I shrugged and did not take it seriously. "It's nothing. But are you interested in what we were talking about, Mr. Anders?"

"I wasn't at first, but now that I know

that the person is Tyler Schuman, I figure you'll be going to meet Carlson and Yvonne Schuman tonight. I'm interested in those two."

They were people in the political circle, after all, so I could understand Cole's interest in them.

"What are you planning, Mr. Anders?"

He waved his hand with a calm look. "I'm not planning anything. I just want to offer you a path, President Lane."

With great interest, I leaned in closer with my hands under my chin as I looked at him. "What is this path?"

Cole also leaned in with a smile on his lips. "To convince Carlson and Yvonne Schuman, you only need mention one person, President Lane."

"Who?" I asked with a frown.

He hooked his hands and motioned for my ear. I lowered my gaze and pondered for a moment before leaning in slowly. Cole whispered a name in my ear.

My eyes widened slightly. "Is there a connection between them?"

"Just do as I say, President Lane, and come to me when everything is done." After Cole said that, he drank his coffee and left the coffee shop.

Looking at his leaving silhouette, I fell into deep thought again.

Cole was an elusive man, and his words contained some truths. Perhaps I should try it out tonight.

It could help Tyler and Susan, and it might get me the answer I was looking for...
