Chapter 367 A Dangerous Pause

“Wait,” Ethan said suddenly.

Royce raised an eyebrow. “What now? Trying something?”

430 Free Coins

Ethan’s expression didn’t change. “Tomorrow morning, Mr. Langford, CEO of the Kelland Group from Yarrowland, is flying to Kingstowne in person to discuss the East City development project with us. The investment involved exceeds five hundred million dollars. I have to send the final proposal over tonight. Otherwise, if someone else is brought in at the last minute and something goes wrong, it won’t just affect my performance. It’ll be the Menzie Group’s reputation, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in profit, that’s at stake.” He paused briefly, then added evenly, “Uncle, you’ve just taken over. You don’t want Menzie Group’s stock price to start swinging, do you?”

Royce narrowed his eyes and studied him.

He did know about the project. He also knew Ethan was in charge of it, and that the amount involved was massive.

If the deal really fell through because of a handover issue, it would be a problem.

And with Ethan already under control, Royce didn’t believe he could cause any real trouble.

“Alright,” Royce finally said, still cautious. “But the call goes to the speaker. I’m listening the whole time. Don’t try passing along anything you shouldn’t.”

Ethan didn’t object.

Royce gestured for the guards to return Ethan’s phone and put it on speaker.

Ethan dialed his assistant, Greg. The call connected quickly, and a deep male voice came through. “Mr. Menzie?”

Ethan’s tone was steady, no different from when he gave work instructions as usual. “Greg, tomorrow morning Mr. Langford, the CEO of the Kelland Group from Yarrowland, will be visiting. You’ll be fully responsible for receiving him.

“All related documents and contingency plans have been sent to your encrypted email. The password is the usual one. If anything comes up that you’re unsure about, contact Mr. Whitman right away. He’ll support you.”

On the other end, Greg was clearly stunned.

Kelland Group from Yarrowland?

Mr. Langford?

Tomorrow morning?

Ethan hadn’t mentioned this schedule at all before.

“Yes, Mr. Menzie! I understand!” Greg responded quickly, his tone turning solemn and professional, as if he’d truly been assigned a critical task. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure everything is handled properly and that Mr. Langford is satisfied.”

“Alright,” Ethan replied, then hung up.

Royce listened the entire time and didn’t catch anything unusual.

Royce relaxed and signated for the guards to take the phone awry.

“Now,” he asked, “can you go back?*

Ethan didn’t respond. He simply turned around and followed the guards, his face expressionless

Royce squinted at his back. “I don’t trust this kid. Give him a couple of shots. Make sure he can’t moet

As he spoke, he took out a syringe and handed it to one of his men, a cold light flickering in his eyes flo one was going to stop m Tonight, Theodore would die.

Meanwhile, Mary lay in bed at the Guzman residence, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Her mind kept replaying the image of Viola tending to her wound.

Her phone chimed with a new WhatsApp message.

She picked it up. It was from Viola.

“Mom, did you get home safely? Was the drive smooth? I… I kind of miss you. Tomorrow… Could I see you? Just for a little while.”

Mary frowned as she read it.

Her feelings toward Viola were complicated. She was grateful that Viola had saved her, and she found herself drawn to the mother- daughter closeness that Viola showed, something she’d never felt from Noelle. Yet her reason kept reminding her that Viola wasn’t her biological daughter and that she’d done many wrong things in the past.

After hesitating for a moment, Mary typed a reply.

“I’m home. I’m fine. I’ll be very busy tomorrow. If I have time, I’ll go see you. Don’t message so often if there’s nothing important.”

As soon as she sent it, a sense of discomfort crept in.

That sounded a bit too cold, didn’t it?

Viola had just saved her, after all.

Sure enough, a reply came quickly. “Oh…” followed by a crying emoji.

Mary sighed when she saw it. For some reason, Noelle came to mind again. Sneaking off to see Viola had left her feeling a little guilty toward Noelle.

She picked up her phone, wanting to send Noelle a message to ask if she was asleep. But when she opened her contacts, she remembered that Noelle had already blocked her.

The uneasy feeling in her chest grew heavier.
