CHAPTER 217
After Kelvin arrived, Gavin felt a lot more at ease. With him around, his chances of success had already increased by half."I got held up for a bit, but I hope it won't affect things too much now," Kelvin said, glancing at his watch. The Rolex on his wrist must have cost over a million, which made Gavin’s eyes widen in surprise. Kelvin’s outfit, on the other hand, seemed like a mix-and-match of various pieces, some real and some not. Gavin quickly shook his head. "It's all good! We still have some time for informal discussions. The official activities start at 11, so please, let me show you in." His overly enthusiastic attitude was exactly what Gavin expected.As they walked inside, they pushed open the door to find that it separated them from a lively scene. The sounds of conversation, clinking glasses, and music filled the air, creating an energetic yet comfortable atmosphere."I've arranged a spot for you on the second floor. You mentioned last time that it might be difficult to i
CHAPTER 216
When Thomas returned home, it was already 11 PM. Ava had fallen asleep early. He crept, not wanting to wake her. The next morning, Thomas woke up to find the house empty. He realized he had slept in until after 9 AM, which was quite rare for him. There was no sign of Ava anywhere; she was likely busy with her project and had left early, knowing he had come home late last night and wouldn't want to disturb him. Thomas noticed he had two missed calls from Miss Hutton on his phone.He called her back directly. "Hey, what's up so early in the morning?""Boss, I wanted to follow up about the tea party we discussed. Are you planning to attend?" Miss Hutton sounded a bit anxious. After the first call went unanswered, she thought it might be too early, so she called again, worried that he might not want to deal with it, and didn't want to annoy him by callingtoo much."The tea party? Is it happening now?""Yes, it's at 10 AM at the Presidential Hotel. I've already received the invitation. If

"I can see you're pretty tired. How about we head to a café and relax for a bit?" Right now, Kelvin didn't have the time to sit down and chat with him. Instead, he wanted to give this person a little boost of encouragement."Don't worry, I'll definitely be at the tea party tomorrow. Just send me the invitation, and I'll try to arrive early." Gavin was a bit surprised by this response. Earlier, he had been hesitating about the venue, the environment, and the guest list, but now he was being so agreeable.The back-and-forth was making him feel a bit unsettled, but he couldn't voice that. "Of course, we have an invitation. I just happened to bring one with me this time." With that, he pulled a gold-embossed black invitation from his briefcase. It was quite well-made and looked nice. When Kelvin opened it, he saw his name already printed on it, which made him think this must have been prepared inadvance. Gavin suddenly felt a bit awkward as he realized he had overlooked that detail. Stil
CHAPTER 214
After Jacob and Thomas left, Kelvin took out his phone to contact Lawrence, wanting to find out why he had come up and what was going on. Meanwhile, Lawrence was dealing with Gavin. He noticed his boss had just sent him a message: "Where are you? The man is coming down. Avoid running into him. Keep an eye on him; I'll be down shortly." It seemed that his boss had already noticed something unusual, and Kelvin felt it was necessary to remind him about the oddities he had observed earlier."Boss, I've taken the man upstairs. There's a crowd of at least ten people downstairs, closely watching what's happening upstairs. Be careful." Just as he sent that message, he saw three people coming down from above. He didn't recognize them at first, but suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It dawned on him that they were the man he had met earlier. Wasn't he alone when he arrived? Why were there two people following him now?Both of them were focused on Kelvin and Gavin"Mr. Kelvin, what are you lo
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
