Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1250 Ryan's Arrival

When Nicole mentioned Ryan's name, Colton shuddered at the thought since he feared that Ryan would collaborate with the mastermind behind the Yael Family. If that was the case, he wondered if the Gardner Family could take down the Yael Family or not. "I'll keep that in mind. I got someone to look for him secretly, and I'm sure we'll get some news about him soon." As Colton spoke, he looked elsewhere thoughtfully. At that moment, a familiar figure rushed over and into the crowd.

"Ryan?" Colton asked subconsciously.

"What are you talking about?" Nicole furrowed her eyebrows and followed Colton's gaze. However, she saw nothing other than a bunch of strangers.

Colton pointed toward a direction and said, "I just saw someone who looks almost like Ryan, but I only caught his figure. I'm not sure if it's really him or not."

Nicole looked toward where he pointed and shook her head. "I didn't see anything. He probably must have left."

"Yeah," Colton said quietly. However, he had a bad feeling in his gut, and it was making him more and more insecure.

On the other hand, Ryan walked out from a huge tree. As he looked where Colton and Nicole had been standing, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate that they hadn't caught him. After Evelyn left, he stayed in the room for a while before leaving. He wanted to see if anything important was left behind at the Yael Residence, yet he didn't expect to see those two after crossing the road. As soon as he saw them, he didn't dare linger around and quickly hid behind the tree since he was afraid that Colton would spot him.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Hello?" Ryan picked up the phone without looking at who the caller was.

"I know you guys didn't mean to refuse the offer, but you still have to pay a huge price according to the contract. Judging by your family's circumstances, I'll give you another chance to redeem yourself. Are you in?"

In that split second, Ryan's eyes widened. He knew who was behind the processed voice—it was the person who had worked with the Yael Family to sell organs.

"Tell me about it." Although Ryan knew who the caller was, he still had to keep his guard up and think it through. After all, they were both on the same page before, but things were different now. At this moment, he was an easy target for the other party.

"From what I heard, the Yael Family is being destroyed by the Gardner Family and Nicole. Also, your family has a grudge against Nicole's master, White. I know you are planning to avenge your family, correct?" the person asked calmly, seemingly as if they already knew all of these matters.

"How… How did you know?" asked Ryan as he suppressed his fear. Don't panic. If you panic, no one will be able to avenge your family, Ryan thought to himself.

"Calm down. You don't have to know who I am. Moreover, I know that your grandfather has been sentenced to death. After all, it is a huge crime to sell human organs around here. I have tried my best to delay his punishment to two years. During this period, you may visit him."

"What? A death sentence?" Ryan's knees weakened, and he staggered back a few steps.

No! Ryan snapped back to his senses and gripped his phone tightly. How does this person know about the sentence when I'm clueless about this? Plus, they managed to delay my grandfather's execution, which was supposed to be carried out immediately. Just how powerful is this person? Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Stop guessing. All I want you to do is simply defeat Colton. As for Nicole, you're free to do whatever you wish. I might be able to assist you if needed." Then, the person hung up before Ryan was able to say anything.

When Ryan returned to his senses and dialed the number, it showed that the caller's number didn't exist.
