A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 334

Charlotte asked in confusion, "How would you even have this number? And why would they listen to you?"

Jack's tone remained casual. "What if I told you that King Casper of Paria is a close friend of mine? Would you believe me?"

Charlotte froze. That sounded insane. A college student having a deep friendship with a king from halfway across the world was straight-up movie-level nonsense.

After parting ways with Jack, she returned to her dorm, staring at the small slip of paper in her hand.

Her mind kept circling back to Jack's words. She couldn't shake the feeling that he had to be exaggerating. Or maybe it wasn't a joke, but there was no way it was exactly as he made it seem.

Guys loved showing off in front of women.

But at the end of the day, the situation in Crawford was getting worse by the hour. And no matter how ridiculous it sounded, this phone number was the only lead they had left. Even if it was a long shot, it was better than nothing.

After a few deep breaths, she grabbed her phone and dialed Jack.

The moment he picked up, she asked, "Jack, that number you gave me… are you absolutely sure it's legit?"

Jack chuckled. "I knew you'd call. Trust me, this isn't a joke."

Charlotte hesitated before finally saying, "Alright… I believe you."

But even as she hung up, Jack's calm certainty echoed in her mind.

After a few moments of hesitation, she made her decision and called Jason.

…

At that exact moment, Jason and Charles were sitting in Tommy's office, pushing for an update on Paria's response. Every day, they came with hope. And every day, they left with disappointment.
