Revenge of the Abandoned Billionaire

Chapter 98

THE ENEMY WITHIN

Caleb was with the comptroller when El-Zaki called. The man saw the call and ignored it. Caleb became curious.

"Is that one of the cartel members calling?"

"It's the Don's official number," he said.

"Maybe you should hear him out," he said with a distracted shrug. The comptroller looked at him askance.

"I think if you don't, he'd suspect you are the brain behind it."

"I will return his call at my own time."

But Caleb didn't like the idea. He wanted to be present when the comptroller spoke with the Don. If he offered to pay him more money than they were offering, the comptroller might be tempted to change his mind.

Barrister Alfred Crusoe got back to his office more furious at himself than he cared to explain to Linda.

"If there are other appointments for today, they should be cancelled. I'm leaving the office for home," he announced as soon as he stepped into the reception.

"Any problem, sir?" the petite lady asked, a slow frown creasing her forehead.
