Chapter 89
“Have you ever received a scam.call?”
“Of course.”
A hint of amusement flashed across Nicholas‘ face. Sebastian’s question left him feeling extremely perplexed.
Sebastian had been looking in the direction of Roxanne’s ward before leaving. Shouldn’t he be asking relationship questions? Why was he talking about scam calls? Sebastian continued asiding. “How do scam calls work? How does the scammer kick things off?
Nicholas began to ponder. He also often received scam calls, but he usually rejected calls from strangers. However, he was very familiar with how scam calls worked.
5o many ways! For example, the scammers start off by telling you your family member got injured in a car accident and are in dire need of money. Sometimes, they mention that you’ve committed a crime because you’ve received an express delivery, which turns out to be a restricted item
“Sometimes, the scammers tell you that someone spent your money overseas to buy a weapon, so the police are going to arrest you soon. All sorts of things.” There were too many scam calls. It was hard to list all of their tactics.
Sebastian’s expression gradually grew solemn before asiding, “Does anyone use wedding certificates to scam others?”
“Oh?” Nicholas was taken aback as doubt filled his eyes. “I’ve never heard of that scam tactic before!”
Nicholas had only heard of people tricking others into a marriage. He never knew about scammers using wedding certificates to scam others. He became interested. “Tell me, what happened?”
Sebastian’s gaze turned cold as he said calmly, “Someone called and explained that he found a wedding certificate.”
Hearing that made Nicholas laugh. “That’s not a scam call. Scammers don’t usually start things off that way. Someone must have lost a wedding certificate, and the caller happened to find it.”
After hearing Nicholas‘ answer, an icy glint flashed through Sebastian’s eyes. The temperature around Sebastian seemed to drop
Nicholas‘ heart gave a lurch Why did he get the idea that Sebastian was about to murder someone?
Nicholas suddenly recalled Sebastian looking at Roxanne’s ward. He then made a guess, asiding, “About that call… Was it Roxanne who received it?” Although Sebastian did not respond, the ley glint in his eyes grew more intense.
Nicholas chuckled, “Don’t tell ine you fell for that? Is Roxanne married? To whom? You? Did you guys secretly get married? Why didn’t you tell me?” Sebastian swept a cold glance at Nicholas. “You mentioned earlier that scam calls don’t usually involve wedding certificates. ”
Nicholas stroked his jaw as he muttered, “Indeed. I’ve never heard of such a scan
If Roxane cerved such a call
Nicholas‘ eyes lit up, and he instantly became excited, “I got it!”
ite patted Sebastian’s shoulder with a meaningful work “Sebastian, you’re such an idiot! Roxanne has already given you such a big hint. Don’t you get it?” Sebastian pleated at Nicholas from the comer of his eye. “Get what?”
Nicholas Became frustrated that Sebastian hadn’t gotten the hint. “Getting married! Roxane is dropping a hint that she wants to marry you! It’s so obvious. Can’t you tell?
ebastian’s aloof expression relaxed. Suddenly, he seemed a little taken aback. Did Roxanne want to marry him?
Nicholes was almost out of his mind. He thought that Sebastian was really a fool when it came to relationships Nicholas begante lays out patiently. “Did Roxane answer the call in front of you?”
”
“Did she ignore the caller?”
“Did she tell you that it’s a schon call?”
Sebastian Immed in response.
*Exactly!” Nicholas exclaimed confidently. “Rome is landing that she wants to marry you Think about it–you two have had two failed engagement parties, so she’s definitely upset. She’s biting that you two should stop hosting engagement parties and get married right away!”
