CHAPTER 201
The atmosphere in the private room became awkward once again. As one person pushed the door open, another turned on the bright overhead light, banishing the previous dim ambiance and illuminating the space clearly.Zach quickly glanced over. The expert friend really did look just like in the photos-quite photogenic, with no significant difference at all."What's going on? I heard you wanted to see me about something," the newcomer said, surveying the situation and clearly sensing that it wasn't a pleasant one. The boss stepped forward, chuckling a bit."I'm really sorry about today. I was hoping you'd come over for some good tea, but we've had a little incident in this room. One of our employees had her necklace damaged, and she claims it's worth 400,000."Upon hearing this, the woman looked around, then couldn't help but let out a cold laugh."Not to be rude, but I didn't realize your employees were hiding such treasures. A necklace worth 400,000? Really? I assume you just want me to
CHAPTER 202
Watching the scene unfold, Zach collapsed onto the couch, trembling as he asked, "What do you want from me? Please don't come any closer! If you hurt me, you'll regret it. My family won't let you get away with this. My grandpa is really powerful!"Seeing a grown man saying such things while sitting on the couch was hard for everyone to watch. The boss stepped forward a few paces."Mr. Robison, right? Let me be clear: you either pay with your card right now, or find a way to settle this two million. If that's not possible, you can call your family to bring the money."They had already set the stage for this confrontation, and they weren't going to back down easily. Zach thought to himself that this was all nonsense. Did he really dare to call his family? Who among them had that kind of power? Aside from his grandpa, no one else did. But his grandpa was already heartbroken over Jack's previous gambling debts. If he found out that Zach had gotten himself into trouble at a bar because of
CHAPTER 203
Zach was feeling anxious when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from Robison. Instantly, his mood shifted to excitement."Quick, it's my brother calling! Why aren't you answering?" His excitement was palpable, and when someone shot him a glance, they tossed the phone to him without a second thought. He didn't care about anything else at that moment and hurriedly answered, "Brother!""Where are you? You need to tell me which room you're in." Hearing those words, Zach nearly burst into tears. Robison was really coming! At that moment, he felt like Robert was more than just a brother; he was his lifeline."I'm on the second floor, in the last private room. Are you coming alone?" Zach felt a pang of guilt as Robison was coming to rescue him. He worried about the group of people he was with; they wouldn't just let things go. If Robison were coming alone, would he be putting himself in danger? But in the noisy environment, Robison didn't catch the second part of
CHAPTER 204
His gaze was fixed on the four men in black. It was only after they pushed the door open that he noticed two guards standing nearby. Robison understood the rules of the game. If money couldn't solve the problem, then other means would have to be employed."I say, my friend, you wouldn't be unaware of the rules here, would you? Calling the police is an option, but just because you do, it doesn't mean this gentleman won't need to compensate for the damages. If you want to escalate this situation, we're more than willing to play along," the boss said, his tone cold as he sized up the intimidating figures before him."Is that so? Even if it involves prostitution, extortion, and illegal detention? I see these four gentlemen are quite formidable," hereplied, exaggerating slightly for effect."Don't try to play games with me. We're all in this together, and no one is squeaky clean. I hear you're his brother, so you must be just as skilled in this business. Don't think you can pull a fast on
CHAPTER 205
Lawrence's words left Robison confused. What was going on? He hadn't smashed their necklace, so why was he being dragged into this mess?Zach, hearing this, was equally baffled. How did the conversation suddenly shift to target Robison?"That's impossible! This is his mess, not mine. Why should I take the blame? If you want to settle this, go after him, not me!" Robison exclaimed, his frustration evident. Lawrence, however, was unfazed. He had just encountered some issues with his recentshipment and was already feeling the heat. He didn't care about the logic of the situation; he just needed to help his boss teach Robison a lesson. He had already brought Robison here, and the details didn't matter to him."Let me put it this way: your brother is trying to draw you in. Do you understand now?" Lawrence said, his tone sharp. Zach shot him a fierce look. What did he mean by trying to draw him in? Robison, sensing that things were spiraling out of control, attempted to leave the private r
CHAPTER 208
After getting their injections at the hospital, the two of them fell into a deep sleep, barely reacting at all during the night. The next day, when Robison woke up, his first instinct was to contact his family. He didn't dare to tell them the whole truth, but he felt he should at least reach out. When his parents arrived and saw them in that state, they could hardly believe their eyes. Zach, standing nearby, stammered and didn't know what to say.Earlier, Robison had sternly warned Zach that this was something he had to swallow and keep to himself. Although he felt frustrated, he knew he still had leverage over Zach. At the same time, he sent an email to the kidnapper, informing him that he didn't have time to meet right now. The kidnapper quickly agreed.For some reason, Robison felt a nagging sense of unease about this missed opportunity. But he needed treatment, so he decided to rest in the hospital. He didn't want any lingering issues, yet he couldn't shake off the feeling of mist
CHAPTER 209
Gavin stood outside the hospital, watching the bustling crowd around him. He wasn't here because a client was sick or because he was unwell himself; he was here to talk to Thomas.He had arrived early, but the hospital staff claimed Thomas wasn't there, and access to the upper floors had become much stricter since his last visit. There were even people stationed to prevent anyone from using the stairs or elevators. Yesterday, he had discovered that he could no longer reach Kelvin. The tea party on Kelvin's end was all set, and he was supposed to get a call to attend. Now, with Kelvin suddenly unreachable, anxiety gnawed at him. For the past few days, he had been stuck at the office, where David shadowed him constantly. This made everything incredibly inconvenient, and he was increasingly convinced that Miss Hutton wouldn't take on this deal. With his hopes pinned on Kelvin Johnson, the sudden lack of contact left him no choice but to seek out Thomas. He didn't want to go to Thomas' h
CHAPTER 210
Gavin was puzzled by the phrase "things aren't simple, you need to find the root." So, he decided to ask Robison about it."I'm telling you, this is a critical time for inheritance distribution. If I can tarnish someone else's reputation, I'll naturally get a bigger share," Iris added over the phone. Gavin slowly started to understand her point, but for some reason, her words made him feel uneasy. He really didn't want to get too entangled with her family, but the situation was becomingincreasingly complicated, and he found himself needing money more than ever. The thought of going abroad began to creep into his mind, but lately, he hadn't been able to contact that person, which made him anxious. He felt like a golden opportunity was slipping away."If you want to do this, go ahead. But can you even see the old man right now?" Iris seemed somewhat satisfied with his response; at least he hadn't forgotten what she had said earlier. The old man didn't want to see anyone these days."Yo
CHAPTER 211
Thomas stepped out of the hospital, glancing at his watch-it was almost seven o'clock. He thought it would be a good idea to head over early and check if everything was in place with the personnel arrangements. This was a bit earlier than his usual quitting time, so he decided to send a quick text to Ava to keep her in the loop. Arriving at the Presidential, he took the stairs from the first floor to the second. At that moment, he called Lawrence. The phone was picked up almost immediately."Hello, boss?""Have you got everything arranged over there? I might not be able to meet with that person directly, so please pass my phone number to him. We'll communicate via text." Lawrence paused for a moment, then quickly realized that his boss was about to meet with a kidnapper."Got it, boss. Don't worry, I'll let him know right away." After hanging up, Thomas felt confident in Lawrence's efficiency. He made his way upto the third floor and reserved a table.His phone buzzed with a new mess
CHAPTER 212
Thomas wasn't interested in continuing the boring conversation; he had a purpose for their meeting today. Jacob looked at Thomas, who was indeed different from what he hadimagined. But he thought that since this man had come alone, there was no need to worry about any trouble."You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I couldn't wait any longer while waiting foryou, so I went ahead and ate. You can call the waiter to order something," Jacob saidcasually. "Thank you for your concern, but I believe your time is valuable, so let's not waste it on this. Let's get straight to the point of our meeting," Thomas replied firmly. Jacob pulled out his phone and scrolled to the first email, placing it in front of Thomas. "The person you had us deal with is currently facing some issues, which forces us to pause our negotiations. We need you to provide a specific explanation."Thomas glanced at the text on the phone. It was indeed the basic information he had given about Gavin, and there didn't se
