Chapter 147
Tears flowed freely down my face again, and 1 felt a wave of panic surge over me.
What should I do? What now?
Liam; however, remained calm and collected. “Evelyn, you need to get over here first. We need to think this through together. Even though I’ve gathered all the intel, we can’t just rush into this.” I forced myself to calm down and began booking my flight.
Two hours later, I boarded the plane to Yardville. My mind raced throughout the flight, trying to figure out how to safely bring Grandma back.
Meanwhile, Jackwas summoned once again to the Grayson residence.
Since Ethan tetamed to Napel, his phone had been off, clearly avoiding the situation.
1im had already sent people to the university the night before to find Evelyn, only to learn that she hadn’t attended classes for days. With no other options, he imped up the pressure on Jack
“I’m done wasting time When will Evelyn drop the charges?” Tan’s face was dark with frustration, and his patience wore thin.
The words sent a shiver down Jack’s spine, and cold sweat trickled down his back
Jum then a man in a sharp black suit locked on the door and entered the room. He respectfully nodded and handed Tan a document.
Lan’s eyes scanned the document, and his face briefly showed a hint of surprise, followed by a slow, calculating smile.
The man glanced curiously at Jack, then leaned in to whisper something to lan
Before he could finish, fan cut him off with a wave. “I don’t care how you do it-whether you pressure the officials or outbid them-make sure it gets locked down.
before tossing it onto the table in front of Jack
The man gave a quicknad before leaving, and fan took another look at the document beto “You’ve raised quite the daughter. Take a look at what she’s been up to behind your back.” Jack’s heart sank as he shally picked up the file. It was a bidding proposal for a plot of la fland. He looked up at lan, bewildered.
lan took his time sipping his tea before speaking “Your daughter and that Liam lad have already purchased that land. The transaction is nearly finalized.” Jack’s eyes widened in shock. “Mr. Grayson, that’s impossible! That land is worth at least ten million dollars. She doesn’t have that land of money.”
lan seed, his gaze condescending. “Are you doubting the results of my investigation?”
He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, clearly imitated. “A bunch of young fools think they can defy me?”
jackdidn’t dare say a word, only nodding repeatedly in agreement.
“Pathetic,” lan spat our, fus voice dripping with contempt.
“I’ve already arranged for someone to stop them,” he continued, rising from his chair and walking behind Jack
“You’re still holding Evelyn’s grandmother, aren’t you? I don’t care how you do it-whether you threaten her or beg. You need to make sure she drops those charges. If she does, I’ll buy that land for you, and our collaboration continues. But if she doesn’t “pack, even if your daughter manages to run, Willey Group won’t escape.”
With a sudden movement, he grabbed Jack’s shoulder, only to pat it soothingly a second later.
Jack was terrified, not only by the scope of the Grayson family’s reach but also by the sudden physical contact. He shuddered, nodding hastily.
Satisfied with the response, tan returned to his seat.
“Don’t disappoint me,” he said and drained his cup of tea in one swift motion. “Andy, show our guest out!”
Jack left the Grayson residence, still trembling from the encounter.
