Chapter 174: Her Protective Instinct.
Minutes after Mrs. Wyatt left, Arissa sat staring at her barely-eaten breakfast. Her eyes darted toward Mrs Wyatt’s plates and a sigh left her lips when she realized she had spoilt the woman’s breakfast.
She arranged her blazer to cover her white vest and at that moment, her phone vibrated, indicating an incoming call.
Picking up her phone, her brows folded seeing an unknown number but still, she answered it.
"Arissa," the voice called the moment she answered.
Hearing that disgusting voice, she immediately wished she could turn back the hands of the clock where she hasn’t replied.
"What do you want, Mr. Lincoln?" she managed to ask. She had forgotten about her parents as she prayed they no longer existed but this call just made her understand how hard that would be - well, unless she kills them herself.
"Don’t play dumb with me, where are the documents?" he asked her, resentment filled his whole voice and he wished he could drag out her scalp from the phone towards her intending ignorance act.
Arissa’s face hardened immediately as her protective instinct grew, "What documents?" she snapped.
Alfred from the other end tried to control himself. He just has limited time as he doesn’t know when Logan might come after him but before he dies, he wants those documents.
"The Wyatt documents," he answered, "Or don’t you want to be free from that contract marriage and have your restriction letters broken?" he manipulated her situation for her to do his bidding.
Arissa almost laughed when she heard him. This was the most comical thing she have heard since the beginning of this month.
