Chapter 270 - 28: Always been waiting for you
Shawn was astonished. He immediately called his uncle after not reaching Athan and Steve informed him.
"Young master Knox helped you."
His uncle’s words rang in his ears, and he felt extremely guilty after hearing the chairman’s condition. He tried to call Knox, but he was still unreachable. He couldn’t sleep that night. The image of Knox and his alpha united after the kidnapping was playing in his mind.

"Sir Athan, wait. I have something to ask you," Shawn caught up behind him.
Athan stopped abruptly and Shawn almost bumped his head on his back. "So, now you’re calling me ’sir’..."
