Chapter 927
Chapter 927:
He was greeted by the older man’s jovial laughter.
“Noah! Feeling better now? I just returned to the country. It’s been ages since we last saw each other. Why don’t we have dinner tonight and catch up? We should celebrate Hailey’s pregnancy!”
That last sentence caused Noah’s grip to tighten around his coffee cup.
His expression turned stormy behind the mask, but he kept his voice cool and composed.
“I’m not in Jazmah at the moment. Let’s meet up some other time.”
There was a pause on the other end, and he imagined Forest’s surprise at the outright refusal.
Sure enough, when the older man spoke again, his tone was laced with a hint of frustration.
“Come on, Noah. That’s not like you at all. You know I didn’t fly all the way home just for dinner.”noveldrama
He sighed before shifting gears and getting to his point.
“The company’s overseas branch has been unsteady lately. A bunch of old-timers are getting too ambitious for their own good. I returned to discuss this with you, and maybe glean some advice.”
Noah paused in the act of taking another sip of coffee, his expression darkening even further.
He had been aware of the brewing unrest within the Burgess Group, but he hadn’t expected things to escalate to the point that Forest would come back and personally seek his help.
Whatever this new problem was, it wasn’t just some minor hiccup.

“Send me the address,” Noah finally said, his tone curt.
Forest let out a pleased chuckle.
“I knew you’d agree. I’ve booked a restaurant. I’m certain you’ll like the place. I’ll text you the details.”
Meanwhile, inside the meeting room of Higgins Manor, the family elders were gathered around a circular rosewood table, all of them stern-faced.
“What are we supposed to do now? That idiot Jarrett has dragged our family name through the mud with his scandal! Just look at how much our stock prices have dropped! Our partners are all watching like hawks, ready to make a move as soon as something happens!”
This came from a particularly hot-headed elder, who slammed his palm against the table in anger.
“We have to get rid of that woman. What’s her name again? Yvonne? That whore has no shame, making a scene at such an important occasion!”
He was practically foaming at the mouth by the time he finished speaking.
What an utter disgrace.
