Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 271 - 270: Who Is My Uncle’s Partner?

After Martin Wright came downstairs, he didn’t see anyone. He went out of the hotel and looked around, but still saw no one.

He was only wearing a very thin layer of clothing, and as he stood outside, the cold wind made him feel a bit chilly.

His eyes lowered, he murmured to himself, "Could it be that I was mistaken just now, that person wasn’t Mia Sutton?"

With this thought in mind, he turned to head back to the hotel, but as soon as he turned around and looked up, he saw someone in the distance.

The same figure, the same clothes, the only difference was the man beside her.

With the clothes slightly obscured, from his line of sight, it looked like the two people were holding hands.

Because the distance was quite far, he couldn’t see clearly, but Martin Wright had a thought in his heart—it was indeed Mia Sutton, it had to be her.

At this moment, it felt as if the cold wind around him disappeared; he only felt that he must find out who the person next to her was.

Immediately, he lifted his feet, taking large strides, walking increasingly faster.

However, the distance between them was quite far, with a road in between, and as he saw the car door opening, Martin Wright couldn’t care less about being outside and directly shouted, "Mia Sutton."

Mia Sutton, who was just about to get into the car, paused her movement upon hearing someone call her name. Jensen Sterling’s eyes deepened a bit, then he gently pushed her into the car, saying softly, "Quick, get in, it’s cold."

Mia Sutton: "Oh." She smoothly sat into the car.

Jensen Sterling closed the car door, then lifted his gaze, looking faintly across the street at the person in the distance, before withdrawing his gaze.

The place they were in had no streetlights, so it was very dim, and Martin Wright could only feel that the person had glanced at him, but couldn’t make out the person’s appearance at all.

Not to mention Jensen Sterling was wearing a mask, and with the cars coming and going on the street, Martin Wright couldn’t determine who that person was at all.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Martin Wright was just about to cross over when a roaring truck sped by, completely obstructing his view.

By the time the vehicle passed and he looked over again, there was no one, no car, everything had disappeared without a trace.

Martin Wright stood there in a daze, not knowing how long had passed, as if finally reacting, his eyes grew fierce. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, opened the contacts, found his mother’s number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered. The woman on the other end picked up the call, her tone full of joy.

"Son, are you done with work today? Calling your mom at this time?"

And continued, "Mom watched that live broadcast program of yours today, you performed very well, and Chloe, Chloe’s dancing was also great."

"I also saw many people praising her. Indeed, just as I said, Chloe is excellent, not only beautiful and understanding but also talented. Most importantly, her family dotes on her."

"The two of you participating in the program together this time, you must get along well. If there’s any good news, be sure to let Mom know, okay?"

The woman mumbled on and on over the phone, and Martin Wright listened quietly.

Until she finished speaking, Martin Wright finally spoke, his voice very calm, "Mom, are you done talking?"

The woman on the other end of the phone: "Ah? What?"

"I have something I want to ask you, and I hope you’ll tell me the truth."

The woman chuckled a couple of times at his words, "What is it? Tell me, whatever I know, I’ll tell you."

Martin Wright gripped the phone, his fingers so tight even the knuckles appeared a little white, speaking in a very heavy voice, "Mom, I remember Aunt said something about my uncle having a girlfriend when she last visited us, right?"

There was a slight pause from the woman on the other end, then she laughed two more times and said, "Oh, that, yes, your aunt did mention that last time she came to our house, why?"

"Who is his girlfriend?"

The woman held the phone, "I don’t know her either, but I’ve heard they’ve been dating for a long time, that girl doesn’t come from a wealthy family, just seems quite ordinary."

"You know, the main house over there has never liked us going over, I don’t know much about what’s going on there either, and considering the influence your uncle has at the main house, I don’t really inquire about his affairs."

Her tone was very natural, and after speaking, she gently asked, "Son, why do you suddenly want to know about these things, is something the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Martin Wright loosened his grip on the phone slightly, then said, "It’s nothing, I was just asking so I won’t say the wrong thing when I meet my aunt in the future."

The woman continued to say a few more things, mainly about not worrying too much. As long as he made an effort, everything would be fine and other similar words.

After hanging up the phone, the woman sitting on the sofa exhaled deeply, reaching out to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.

She wasn’t sure if the child had somehow heard something; otherwise, why would he call and ask about this matter?

That time, when the people from their branch saw Mia Sutton at the main house and then came back to tell her, she was very shocked too.

Knowing that the Sutton Family had already declined, if not for their company also being in bad shape back then, they wouldn’t have agreed to an alliance marriage with the Sutton Family. Of course, it was only verbal. Later, their situation improved, but the Sutton Family didn’t pick up, and at that time, they had already been considering calling off the engagement.

They just didn’t expect Mia Sutton to end the relationship first, which she naturally agreed with.

She never expected Jensen Sterling to bring Mia Sutton back.

Moreover, she also noticed that her son seemed to like Mia Sutton at that time.

If she had told him then, it would definitely have caused a huge commotion. If they got into a fight with the main house, it would be of no benefit to them, and it might even impact the newly stable company.

With Jensen Sterling’s personality, he probably wouldn’t have left them any room to retreat, and if they were suppressed by the main house, all their efforts over the years would be in vain.

So, Martin Wright mustn’t know about this. She had told the people on their side to keep their mouths shut and not leak anything.

At first, she was a bit worried. They could ensure nothing was leaked on their side, but what about those at the main house? Would they find out anything, or discover that they had once had a verbal engagement with the Sutton Family, causing any impact?

She was on edge for a long time, but when everything remained calm and nothing happened, she finally relaxed. However, the last time his aunt visited, they exchanged a few words, and Martin Wright happened to overhear a little as he returned home.

Luckily, he only heard a little, nothing more.

Unexpectedly, he asked about it this time out of the blue. Could he really have heard something, or seen something?
