Chapter 55 Got A Call At 2 AM

At two o'clock in the morning, Spencer walked into his room, feeling worn out.

When he was about to take a shower, he saw the notification light of his cell phone on the table in the living room. He went over and picked it up. It was a text message from an unknown number, but he knew who it was.

The text read, "How's everything going at the base, Spencer? When are you coming back? I'm working now. Oh, by the way, I met Fiona in the company. She seems to be close to our boss, but I assure you that I won't let her get into any trouble. Missing you."

After he finished reading the message, Spencer took off his hat and sat down on the couch holding onto his phone. The unexpected return of Celine stirred his feelings for her. The sudden flashback made him forget that he was married, and he almost lost control. He desperately wanted to ask if she had been okay in the past six years.

However, nothing had changed in those six years. He still couldn't be with Celine. Six years ago, he had been too young to fight against his grandpa and his father. Now, he was married and had a responsibility to Fiona. His reasons for marrying her didn't matter. He couldn't fight for Celine as he had done before.

He sighed, wanting to find out where Celine worked now. On his mobile phone, he opened a search engine recently launched by Terence's company and soon found out where Celine worked.

The search engine results popped up on the screen. "ZR Company, the largest jewelry company in the country... Their legal representative is Charles Wen."

"Charles Wen?" Spencer uttered the name with a frown. After thinking for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up. Ryan Wen, Charles Wen... They had the same surname. 'What is the relationship between them?' he thought to himself.

Spencer still looked a little tired, but his eyes had become bright. He stared closely at the screen of his cell phone as his finger clicked on it. His expression was serious. After a while, he finally found the result he wanted.

He found out that Charles and Ryan were indeed half-brothers! 'However, why does Fiona also work in this company?' he wondered. 'Internship?'

While he thought of this, Spencer forgot that he had only wanted to find out about the company Celine worked for. He felt a heaviness in his chest but there was no place for him to vent his anger. How he wished he could question Fiona right now!

Fiona was sound asleep in the bedroom

when the phone on the bedside table rang loudly

and flashed in the darkness, waking her up.

She rubbed her eyes as she struggled to wake up from her deep slumber. Then, she grabbed her phone and looked at the screen. She frowned and thought, 'It's past two o'clock in the morning. Why is Spencer calling me at this hour? What could have happened?'

At the thought that something might have happened to Spencer, Fiona's heart suddenly jumped. She quickly picked up the phone and said in an anxious voice, "Hello? Spencer, is that you? What's wrong?"

"Fiona!" Spencer roared an

ouch. "I like Celine! I won't be her brother! I'll take her away!"

"How dare you?" Wayne slammed his hand on the table. "She is your sister! Even if she's not, you can never marry her! You were engaged to Fiona a long time ago. She is the one you should marry!"

"Have you forgotten, Spencer?" Fiona came out of nowhere with a faint smile on her face. "We're married! How could you be with Celine?"

Suddenly, Celine burst into tears, and several men came to drag her away.

Spencer held her hand tightly, but it was useless to resist. Their hands became farther and farther apart until they were separated and Celine disappeared into the light.

"Celine! Celine!"

Spencer was so shocked that he sat up with sweat all over his face. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the door, followed by Eric's voice. "Spencer? Are you in there?"

It was only then that Spencer came back to his senses and realized that he had just had a nightmare, one that had happened six years ago. He hurriedly shook his head and walked out, dragging his feet. He opened the door of the living room and asked lazily, "What's wrong?"

Eric politely saluted him and said, "There has been a large-scale ore transaction recently. Although the case has been filed, I noticed something strange, so I came here specially to report it to you."

"What's strange?" Spencer frowned.

"These are some profiles." Eric handed the documents to Spencer. "The containers and mercenaries have an 'X' mark on them."

"The mysterious organization that appeared in the last tourist kidnapping incident was named X. Could this have something to do with that incident?" Spencer asked shrewdly.

"Our superiors also suspected the same thing, so they asked us to investigate it."

"Okay, I see. You go back first. I'll look into this."

"Yes, sir!" Eric saluted him once again before turning on his heel and walking away.

As Spencer closed the door, he looked at the files and breathed, "X..."
