Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1724

Cindy leaned over to glance at the phone number. The moment she recognized who it was, her

expression immediately changed.

As for Ian, he couldn’t help but feel a little resigned. Looks Like Sean is right. Leah probably made a

scene at his place and didn’t get what she wanted, so she’s coming to me again. However, did she

forget all my previous warnings?

Then, he rose to his feet while holding his phone. “Please wait for me for a minute. I need to answer

this call.”

Aurora didn’t know who was calling him, which made her suspicious. “You can just answer the call

here. There’s no need to hide from us. What is it? Which beautiful girl is calling you right now?” After

that, she turned toward Cindy and added, “He is being dishonest and you shouldn’t indulge him. Come

and stop him. Let him answer this call in front of us.”

However, Cindy clearly knew that Ian couldn’t answer Leah’s phone in front of Aurora. At that time, I

was so angry that I wanted to slap Leah myself when I heard her insults. I can’t imagine what Mrs.

Morgan would do if she heard it all. If they start arguing on the phone, judging from Mrs. Morgan’s

temper, she’ll probably want to have a fight with Leah.

Therefore, she quickly replied, “It should be from the company. I think we should let him answer it in his

room.”

“I don’t care whether it’s from the company. What’s there to hide about a company’s call? He can

answer it right here in front of us. We will keep quiet.” Aurora wasn’t planning to back down.

Cindy smiled and raised her phone. “If he answers the call here, we won’t be able to play our game.

Besides, we don’t even know when the call will be finished. Why don’t we just let him be and start the

game ourselves?”

With that, Ian walked toward his room and added, “She’s right. I’m not sure when I will be done. You

two can just start the game without me first. I’ll join you later on when the call’s finished.”

As she watched his back, Aurora could only nod her head in the end. “Be quick with it. I want to see

how good you are at this game since you always laugh at how bad the both of us are.”

Without uttering a word, Ian returned to his room and locked the door before answering Leah’s call.

This time, she spoke in a much better tone and even politely called his name.

However, just like last time, his voice was still as cold as ever. “What do you want? Just say it.”

She laughed and replied, “After giving it a thought, I felt that I was a little agitated the last time we

spoke where I’ve uttered some unsavory words. I’m calling you now to make amends, so I hope you

don’t mind.”

Ian chuckled and remained silent as he listened to her explanation. I can’t believe she is asking me to

let it slide after she scolded me in the face last time. Who is she taking as a fool?

Then, Leah continued speaking, “I was also a little frustrated. Your father’s illness isn’t improving and

he’s been staying in the hospital for such a long time. I’ve been waiting at home for good news to

come, but nothing has come to fruition. That’s why I’m slightly anxious, which causes me to speak

without thinking first.”

However, Ian refused to say anything. She seems to have forgotten that she couldn’t keep her mouth

shut about the inheritance on the last call. Is she now seriously using the old man’s illness as an

excuse?

Upon seeing that he wasn’t replying to her, Leah sighed and cut to the chase. “I heard that your dad

called his lawyer. Did he tell you anything when you visited him?” She knew that her words would easily

make him realize her intentions, so she quickly explained, “Please don’t misunderstand me. I have no

other intentions. I only heard that after Sean went to meet your dad, he called his attorney not long

after that. I’m just asking whether you are aware of this.”

Then, her voice became gentler. “I’m not worried about myself. I have an excellent relationship with

your dad, so no matter what, he won’t treat me or my children badly. I’m being considerate about you.

You are all alone and there has been some unfavorable news about you recently, so I’m afraid that your

dad might have made a bad decision in a moment of anger.”

She was playing with her words by dragging Sean into the situation.

However, Ian’s voice was still icy cold. “The old man didn’t tell me anything, so you are just wasting

your time with me.”
