Chapter 490: Chapter 490



Callan noticed his troubled expression.

“Mr. Miller, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Adrian shook his head.

“Nothing.”

He understood. It was only yesterday that he had proposed, and yet today, Joelle showed no hesitation in casting him aside. It was fine. In comparison to Ryland, he knew he was destined to lose without question.

Even if the choice were between Aurora and Joelle, he would be utterly at a loss as to how to decide.

“Mr. Miller?”

“It’s nothing. Continue with your work.”

ᵐᵒʳᵉ ᵘᵖᵈᵃᵗᵉˢ ⁱⁿ ᵍᵃˡⁿᵒᵛᵉˡˢ.ᶜᵒᵐ “Alright.”

The moment Joelle stepped outside, her excitement was palpable. She immediately called the police to report the issue regarding Wade’s biological mother.

The response she received, however, was not what she had hoped for.

“We previously looked into it. We visited her registered address, but she had already left by the time we arrived.”

This news dampened half of Joelle’s hope.

Next, she called Shawn.

“Shawn, can you help me find someone?”

“Who are you looking for?”

“Chris and Wade’s biological mother.”

Upon hearing the details, Shawn agreed without hesitation.

“Of course.”

At that time, he was still in Katherine’s hospital room. Before Joelle’s call, Shawn had been relaxing on the sofa with a magazine while Katherine chatted with Frankie.

The conversation was brief; Frankie had to leave for work and soon became less responsive.

Once the call with Joelle ended, Shawn got ready to leave. Katherine inquired, “Where are you headed?”

“Joelle needs my help to find someone.”

Katherine, throwing aside her bedcovers, insisted, “I’m coming with you!”

“You need to rest.”

Despite not being fully recovered, Katherine insisted on accompanying Shawn, suspicious he might be hiding something.

“I feel better now. Are you worried I’ll uncover something you’re hiding?”

Shawn hesitated before responding casually, “What would I be hiding? If you’re set on coming, then let’s go.”

That same day, Katherine was discharged from the hospital and joined Shawn on a trip to Illerith.

Noor Graves, the mother of Wade and Chris, had once been an opera singer. At that time, opera singers were not highly regarded, and Noor had never expected to marry into a wealthy family.

However, after having two children, her physique and voice changed, making a return to her former career impossible, and she settled into family life. It was then that she realized she was just a mistress kept on the side.
