Gary’s face finally showed a hint of emotion.

He looked at Stephen and sighed. “So, are you worried about me, yourself, or your grandpa, or your brother?”

It hadn’t escaped Gary’s notice that, lately, Stephen had been feeling guilty for keeping things from Jackson.

It looked like Stephen was really touched by what Jackson did.

If he actually killed Gerry, Jackson would definitely be implicated.

Stephen said, “Gary, of course I’m worried about you. I’m worried something might happen to you, and I’m worried about my brother too.”

As for his grandpa… truth be told, Stephen didn’t really care about him.

After all, no matter why Gerry listened to that fortune–teller and sent him away, whether it directly or indirectly caused his mother’s death, Stephen knew he’d never be able to forgive that.

Gary sighed. “I’ve already killed someone. I don’t mind adding another. Once I’ve avenged your mother, I’ll turn myself in. Don’t worry, I’ll confess everything. I won’t let your brother get involved.”

“Gary…” Stephen was about to say something, still holding onto Gary’s shoulder, when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his arm.

He looked down and saw a small syringe sticking out of his arm. In no time, his eyelids grew heavy and his thoughts blurred.

“Gary…” Stephen barely managed to say the name before he passed out completely.

Gary pulled out the syringe, then gently laid Stephen down on the couch. He lowered his head, staring deeply at the kid he’d raised for twenty–one years, and ran his rough fingers across Stephen’s face.

Finally, he drew back his hand and walked out of the room with a cold determination.

“They’re out! Gerry and Jackson are out!” With that shout, the once quiet entrance of the Thornton family’s old mansion burst into a frenzy,

Reporters, amped up like they were running on pure adrenaline, rushed forward with their cameras, shouting excitedly as if they’d just uncovered a major scoop.

Right then, the ornate iron gates slowly opened, and a parade of luxury cars started streaming out one after another.

The cars stretched ahead like a massive snake, commanding an overwhelming presence.

The first four were all bodyguard rides. Huge, with windows tinted so dark they were practically black,

radiating a vibe of mystery and power.

In the middle was Gerry’s go–to ride, a Rolls–Royce business car.

It wasn’t the flashiest car in the bunch, but its understated luxury spoke volumes, clearly handpicked for its subtle elegance.

Behind them, another four bodyguard cars rolled out, just like the ones up front, locking the whole convoy in a fortress–like formation.

Pierre let out a mocking laugh. “What a show!”

Faye, right beside him, couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Do they really need all this?”

After the nine cars slowly pulled out of the old mansion, they headed straight onto the main road, making their way toward the luxury apartment Jackson had arranged for Stephen.

The reporters, seeing this, swarmed into their own cars and sped after the convoy, not wanting to miss a single moment of the drama.

Pierre and Faye were about to follow the convoy when Pierre’s sharp eyes caught sight of someone familiar, Jackson.

He stared, totally stunned. “Damn! Why isn’t Jackson in the car? Isn’t he supposed to be with Gerry, picking up his own brother?”

Faye eased off the gas and looked toward the entrance. There was Jackson, sitting in his wheelchair, rolling himself out with the automatic controls.

Faye frowned, “Yeah, why isn’t Jackson with Gerry?”

Pierre tried calling his brother Felix, but couldn’t get through.

“Weird. Isn’t Felix watching the livestream? Why isn’t he answering?” Pierre muttered to himself.

Hearing that, Faye tried calling her brother Xavier, but she couldn’t get through to him either,

Last night, after Xavier saw the news that Gerry was going to pick up Stephen himself, he said Gary was out for revenge today, and he was convinced Gary would sabotage Gerry’s car.

He even said it’d be perfect if Jackson was riding with Gerry.

Faye tried calling again, but still couldn’t get through.

‘Could Xavier be in trouble?‘ she couldn’t help but worry.

“Jack, get in the car,” Victoria called out with a smile as she saw Jackson roll out of the old mansion, her hand resting on the car window.

But today was a bit off. Ollie, who was usually glued to Jackson’s side, was nowhere to be seen.

Victoria couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled, but she didn’t dwell on it. ‘Maybe Jackson sent Ollie to protect Gerry, she thought.

Jackson rolled over to her, a faint smile on his face. “Alright.”

Once Jackson was settled in the passenger seat, Victoria smirked, half–joking, “Why aren’t you riding in your own car today? Afraid Gary might’ve messed with it?”

Jackson chuckled. “My car’s fine, but Grandpa’s is a whole different story.”

Victoria raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. “Oh?”

Jackson’s smile faded a bit. “Looks like someone messed with his car.”

Victoria had already guessed as much, but she was curious whether Gerry was in the car if it really had been messed with. “So…”

Victoria drew out the word, and Jackson knew exactly what she was getting at. “He’s in the car.”

Victoria looked genuinely surprised. “Aren’t you worried your grandpa’s in danger?”

Jackson continued, “Donald, Xavier, and Felix are all in there with him.”

Victoria almost choked on her own spit.

Jackson grinned. “I pitched the idea to Grandpa myself. I wanted them to face the same risk as him. If they want to survive, they have to own up to what they’ve done.

“If they keep denying it, they’ll go down with Grandpa. But if they confess and stop Gary before it’s too late, they get to walk away.”

Victoria needed a moment to take it all in, then flashed him a thumbs–up. “Jack, you’re even more ruthless

than me.”

Even as she praised him, she couldn’t help but question, “Did your grandpa really agree to this? After all, we’re talking about his own son and two grandsons.”

Jackson grinned. “Of course he didn’t agree. So I just dragged him into it anyway, didn’t matter if he was on board or not.”

Victoria’s mouth dropped open, like she was seeing a whole new side of Jackson. Then, she blurted out, “Damn, you’re badass!”

*****

Inside the Rolls–Royce business car, boxed in by bodyguard vehicles front and back, Donald came to and saw Xavier and Felix sitting on either side of him.

He said, “Where am I? How did I get here? Xavier, what…”

Xavier, worried Donald might blurt out something he shouldn’t in front of Gerry, cut him off hard. “Uncle Donald, we’re in Grandpa’s car.”

“Dad’s car?” Donald straightened up, blinking in confusion as he spotted Gerry in the front passenger seat. “Dad, how did I get here?”
