CHAPTER 213
"Of course not. I just want him to take on some of the risk. If you fail, he'll be the one to bear the brunt of it." As soon as those words were spoken, the other person visibly relaxed. That was a different perspective. If the plan was truly to expose everything in the end, no matter how advanced his voice modulationtechnology was, he wouldn't want to continue this partnership. In fact, just out of sight from Thomas, had been feeling the knife hidden in his arm."Alright, let's do it this way. Things have taken a different turn, so why don't we negotiate a new deal? After all, meeting face-to-face is a significant step for both of us." Thomas studied him for a moment longer, surprised that someone involved in kidnapping could be so articulate. Initially, he had intended to have them kidnap Gavin, but now, this meeting had raised the stakes significantly. He wasreconsidering whether to go through withit."I'm suddenly having second thoughts. I want to deal with Gavin properly, but
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
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 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 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 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
