Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 

“There’s got to be some misunderstanding, I…” 

“You have twenty minutes. I want our people out of the Bryant estate unharmed, or Club 257 will raze it to the ground!” 

Jordan, gripping the now silent phone, felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. 

Who could have imagined that Crimson and Séraphine were actually with Club 257? 

Before Séraphine arrived, he had already checked her background, finding no ties to any organization. That’s why he dared to treat her the way he did. 

Just then, the phone started ringing off the hook again. 

Now completely frazzled and in no mood to answer, Jordan tossed the phone to the butler, signaling him to take the call. 

After the call, the butler, trembling, said, “Sir! It’s people from Queen Algria… They demand we release Séraphine and Crimson immediately! Otherwise, they’ll destroy the Bryant estate without a second thought!” 

Jordan felt his chest tighten. 

In the following minutes, countless calls came in, all demanding the release of Séraphine. 

“Someone from the National Research Institute called, ordering us to release Séraphine immediately…” 

“Someone from the Cloud Shadow Auction House called, giving us half an hour to release Séraphine…” 

“Beep-” 

The phone started ringing again, like the sound of doom! 

Jordan was drenched in cold sweat, as if he’d been pulled out of water. Hearing the ringtone, he trembled and nodded to the butler to 

answer. 

After a few words, the butler’s legs began to shake, “It’s–It’s the Stonnell family. They said if anything happens to Séraphine while she’s here, they’ll destroy the Bryant estate!” 

“What!” 

Jordan’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the floor in shock. 

Who exactly was this Séraphine, to have both Club 257 and the Stonnell family stepping in for her! 

“Sir, what do we do now…” 

Even the butler was stunned, having never seen such a display of power before. 

Any one of these forces could shake Maple Grove to its core with just a foot stomp. Yet now, they were all moving for one Séraphine! 

Jordan was ashen–faced. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew. He was filled with regret, realizing he should never have tried to control Séraphine. He risked not only his two daughters but potentially the entire Bryant family. 

“To the dungeon, now!” 

Jordan got up and hurried to the dungeon.
