Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 431

When Wren heard that the compensation could amount to hundreds of millions, her face went pale with fear, and she nearly fainted.

She recalled that when she married Harrison, his pharmaceutical company was valued at about that amount. How could a few leaked data points now be worth the, same?

Walking out of the police station in a daze, Wren falt lost, unsure where to go or whom to turn to. If Gabriel ended up in prison, his life would be ruined!

She deeply regretted not preventing him from returning to the country. At least things wouldn’t have escalated to this point,

Wait, Nyla!

As Wren considered that all this trouble began because of Nyla, anger flared in her

eyes.

She took a cab to Nyla’s place and pounded on the door, but there was no response.

Wren tried calling her, but the call remained ongoing, indicating that Nyla had likely blocked her number. Frustrated, she gave up and returned to the hospital to inform

Harrison of the situation.

To her surprise, Harrison sided with Nyla. “This is Gabriel’s fault. Nyla isn’t the head of Prospectus Technology. She can’t control this situation.”

Wren stared at Harrison in disbelief. “Are you serious? If it weren’t for her association with the same company, Gabriel wouldn’t be in this mess!”

She continue

to yell, “So, just because Nyla is your daughter, you take her side? T understand now–no matter how well I treat you or how well Gabriel treats you, to you, Nyla is always the real family! Gabriel and I are just outsiders!”

Harrison’s face darkened due to her unreasonable stance. “Do you think the people at Prospectus Technology and the police are fools? If Gabriel hadn’t leaked the data, this situation wouldn’t have occurred. And how is this Nyla’s fault? Did she force him

to do it?”

Wren looked at him with disappointment. “Harrison, I’ve spent years taking care of you, and now that Gabriel is in trouble, you can’t even offer a word of comfort. I’m done with you. If Gabriel’s situation doesn’t improve, we’re getting a divorce!”

With that, she grabbed her bag and left the ward. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Harrison watched her go with a grim expression but did not call after her.

Late that night, Nyla received a call from the hospital. “Ms. Jayston, we’re currently unable to reach Mrs. Jayston. Your father is alone at the hospital and needs

someone to stay with him tonight. Could you come over to keep him company?”

With Wren unreachable right after Gabriel’s incident, the timing seemed suspiciously

convenient.

Nyla suspected it was a ploy by Wren, knowing that if the hospital couldn’t reach her, they would contact Nyla directly instead.

Nyla considered this for a moment and replied, “I understand. I’ll arrange for al caregiver to go over there shortly.”

After hanging up, Nyla promptly contacted a caregiver. She signed a six–month contract and sent the caregiver to the hospital.

As for Nyla herself, she was deeply disappointed in Harrison after her last visit and had no desire to see him again.

At the police station…

Gabriel remained silent during questioning until his lawyer arrived and took over the conversation with the police.

Despite facing hundreds of millions in compensation or potential imprisonment, Gabriel remained calm.

Seeing his unflappable demeanor, the detective grew more serious. “Mr. Hackett, we hope you will cooperate with the investigation. Prolonging this will not benefit you in

any way.

”

Gabriel smiled. “I am cooperating. The exact amount of compensation can be discussed with my lawyer.”
