As the saying goes, it’s not the enemies-turned-friends you have to fear. It’s the friends who become enemies.

eo Martinez had been with Ethan Hale for years. He knew exactly what Ethan’s taboos were and what he cared about most. His intention was to ersuade Ethan to dump this whole mess onto Jaxon Rivers. He didn’t want Ethan starting a war with the Everett underworld, only for the Hale family o hold him accountable later.

Terrified that Ethan wouldn’t listen, Leo blurted out the suggestion in a moment of desperation.

Ethan’s expression instantly tightened. His lean face went dark with fury.

If you have that much more nonsense to say, get your ass back to Northbrook!”

eo shrunk back, not daring to utter another word. He immediately moved to carry out Ethan’s orders.

Meanwhile, Jaxon Rivers’s investigation had also hit a wall at the exact point of Aunt May’s disappearance.

Aside from us, the Hale family is also looking for that woman’s whereabouts,” his subordinate informed him.

Ethan?” Jaxon looked surprised.

Ethan didn’t even know Mia’s child was his. Why was he still sticking his nose into her business?

This play was getting more interesting by the minute.

axon tried to force a smirk, but his lips wouldn’t move. He sat back in his chair, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

What does this have to do with Ethan? Send men to keep an eye on him. The moment you find out what he’s planning, intercept him.”

axon wasn’t about to let Ethan steal the credit for this favor.

The person holding Aunt May demanded $20 million for her release.

Aunt May was middle-aged, a gambler, and a generally terrible person. She wasn’t even worth two hundred dollars, let alone twenty million. Jaxon early spit out his drink when he heard the price.

If you’re not willing to pay, I’ll just go ask the Hale family,” the Casino Manager said, raising the price on the spot.

You’re clearly trying to take a bite out of me,” Jaxon countered. “I’m not stupid enough to pay that, and Ethan certainly won’t give it to you! Do you ave any idea how shrewd he is?”

axon began bartering. “If you’re willing to be reasonable, I’ll give you $200,000-and I’ll even throw in an extra $20,000.*

‘rom twenty million to two hundred and twenty thousand.

Mr. Rivers, are you here to tell jokes?”

The Casino Manager’s face darkened. “I’m taking a risk by letting her go. Mr. Gallagher ordered me to grab her. If I give her to you, I’m offending him. f the money isn’t right, I’m not doing it.”

Mr. Gallagher?” Jaxon’s face went grim. “Why did he want you to grab this woman?”

He doesn’t want her leaving this casino alive. I didn’t want blood on my hands, so I just locked her up to work here.”

The Casino Manager was a criminal, but he didn’t like causing unnecessary trouble over a nobody. “So, if you want to take her, the price has to be right.”

axon took a sip of his drink and gritted his teeth. ‘$2 million. Not a penny more, or you can keep her.”

The Casino Manager remained silent.

Fine. Forget it. Jaxon stood up and walked toward the door.

He was halfway out when the manager finally spoke.

Deal.”

axon slapped his forehead. “Damn it. I went too high. If he had known, he would have offered one million. But the word was out, and he couldn’t take

it back. He gritted his teeth and handed over the $2 million.

Five minutes later, Aunt May was led out of the casino wearing a grey work uniform. She was shoved into Jaxon’s car.

Mr… Mr. Rivers?”

Jaxon shot her an annoyed look. “Do you have any idea that the Gallaghers had a deal with the casino? You weren’t supposed to leave that place alive.”

Aunt May trembled. Days of living in terror had turned her into a nervous wreck. Now that the truth was out, fear paralyzed her, and she couldn’t even speak.

Tll give you a chance. Tell me the secret of Mia’s heritage, and I’ll consider the money I spent to redeem you well-spent.”
