Chapter 386
“It’s just a servant, do whatever you want.” Gerry said offhandedly. “As long as you’re sure they’re
All Thornton family staff, including butlers, servants, chefs, gardeners, and cleaners were repaired to pass checks to ensure Gary’s personal safety.
These checks used to be handled by Gerry’s butler, but in recent years, Ollie, Jackson’s right–hand man over the responsibility.
“Okay,” Jackson said.
In the end, Jackson lost again.
“Felix still can’t beat you when it comes to chess,” Gerry said, tossing his piece aside and standing up.
“Alright, since you chose that birthday gift for Victoria yourself. I’ll take it as proof you’re sure about your feelings for ber. 1 won’t interfere. Like I’ve said before, as long as nothing goes wrong, you’ll remain my pick for the Thornton heir
Jackson tossed his piece aside too.
But Gerry’s promise depended on that “if“, as long as nothing went wrong.
But if something did happen, the heir’s spot could easily go to someone else.

After leaving the Thornton family estate, Pierre could not shake off his anger. He kicked a stone hard, as if that could vert some of his frustration toward Jackson.
“Damn it, Jackson is just too infuriating to talk to!” Pierre snapped. Just picturing Jackson’s face made him feel nauseous.
“Felix, when you take the heir’s position, we’ll hand Jackson over to that freak and let him have his way with him. Let Jackson learn what it feels like to be treated like a toy.” Pierre was getting more worked up, a wicked grin creeping onto his face.
Felix did not respond right away. His mind was still stuck on the chess game with Gerry.
He had spent ages studying for this match, thinking he could at least hold his own against Gerry. But he lost way faster than he expected.
The disappointment on Gerry’s face made him feel utterly defeated.
‘I had my chance. Why did I still lose?‘ Felix thought.
A game could be lost, but there was no way he could afford to lose the battle for the heir’s spot
“Felix, did you hear me?” Pierre asked again, seeing Felix still looking gloomy and ignoring him.
Felix finally snapped out of it, glanced at Pierre, and said casually, “Sure, whatever you say. We’ll hand Jackson over to tibet freak and let him deal with Jackson.”
Pierre laughed, his face lighting up with excitement. “Just picturing that scene is so damn satisfying
He could already picture Jackson being utterly humiliated, and his earlier resentment melted awa
Sometimes, Felix could not help but envy Pierre’s blind confidence. Pierre did not have to lift a finger or worry about a

thing.
He simply had to wait for Felix to secure the heir position, so he could enjoy the benefits that came after.
Whether Jackson was bluffing or not, the plan was already in motion, and there was no reason to stop now.
Felix only hoped Stephen and Gary would act quickly,
‘If they still don’t make a move by next month, I won’t hesitate to desecrate Chloe’s grave and scatter her ashes, simply to force a reaction from Gary, Felix thought.

Jackson got back to his room, took a quick shower, and then video called Victoria.
“What are you up to?” Jackson asked.
“Just scrolling through X,” Victoria replied.
“Still checking out the news about Miranda getting taken away by the cops?” Jackson asked.
Victoria shook her head. “Nope, I’m looking at the news about Lexi and Nathan breaking up.”
As soon as Lexi posted about breaking off her engagement with Nathan on X, it shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Being one of the hottest actresses around, Lexi’s post instantly drew a flood of comments from netizens.
[Lexi really knows how to keep her image clean! She cut ties with Nathan right away!]
[Is this about protecting her image, or is she just kicking Nathan when he’s down? She took advantage of Nathan’s status and got plenty of resources from him, and when the Clark family is in trouble, she dumps him without a second thought. Even as a bystander, I can’t stand it!]
[That’s hilarious. Lexi’s the heiress of Gale Entertainment! She’s a rich girl herself; what could she possibly need from Nathan? The marriage was purely a business arrangement; there was never any real love! Now that the Clark family’s in hot water, why shouldn’t Lexi bail out while she can?]
[In all honesty, Lexi’s really pitiful. Her father has an illegitimate son, and now her fiancé’s family has also run into serious trouble!]
[Pitiful? Nah, I’d say Lexi’s actually super lucky! Karma caught up with her dad’s illegitimate kid, and before she even walked down the aisle, she saw her fiancé’s family’s true colors. She dodged a bullet and bailed just in time!]
[You’ve got a point! Big congrats to Lexi for jumping ship before things got ugly!]
Overall, most folks were cheering Lexi on for dumping Nathan and calling off the engagement.
After all, the stuff the Clark family got exposed for was way too much for regular people to handle.
“Oh?” Jackson said, intrigued. “Since when are you interested in Nathan’s love life?”
Victoria’s lips lifted slightly into a faint smile. “Would you believe me if I said I was simply concerned about Lexi?“
She locked eyes with Jackson, her gaze sparkling with mischief.
Jackson chuckled, teasing, “Seriously, when have I ever not believed you?”
