His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Force Her to Accompany Guests

Nola paused for a moment and carefully chose her words. "Mr. Roberts, like Mr. Larsen, is involved in underground businesses."

In Nola's words, Mr. Roberts had a glorious past. Years ago, he and his two brothers almost monopolized all the underground business in Oakpool.

Until Jefferson made his move.

At the beginning, the three of them wanted to use their old tactics to stick together, but Jefferson was clearly not the same as the stupid businessmen they had dealt with before.

Mr. Roberts's two brothers were rendered helpless by Jefferson's methods and Mr. Roberts couldn't afford to challenge him alone. He watched helplessly as Jefferson gradually swallowed up their territory.

As Jefferson's power grew stronger in recent years, Mr. Roberts's living space became smaller and smaller.

Now he could only pick up the scraps that Jefferson didn't want.

When Elianna heard this, she understood.

It must have been Mrs. Gentry who appreciated Mr. Roberts's strength and befriended him.

But now, thirty years had passed, and Mrs. Gentry had changed her target to Jefferson.

But...

Elianna furrowed her brows, the Gentry family clearly did legitimate business, why did they have to associate with these people?

Suddenly, she remembered something Jefferson had said before, "The Gentry family is trying their best to cater to me."

What exactly was the Gentry family doing behind the scenes...She thought.

"Anna?"

Elianna snapped out of her thoughts. "Sorry, Nola, I was lost in thought, what did you say?"

Nola looked worried. "I was wondering if Mr. Roberts did anything to you?"

Seeing her genuine concern, Elianna recounted what had happened inside.

Nola's worry deepened when she heard the story. Her eyebrows furrowed even more. "I'm sorry, Anna. I've caused trouble for you."

"How is it your fault?"

Nola hesitated and bit her lip. She first looked toward where the servants were standing not far away, and then pulled Elianna to a secluded spot.

"Mr. Roberts was originally interested in me."

Elianna instantly understood what she meant.

Mrs. Gentry was still hoping to use Nola to get close to Jefferson, so she must not have let her accompany Mr. Roberts.

Elianna didn't know how they had negotiated, but they had changed the person from Nola to her.
