Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 585

Clearly, Nash was on Eric’s side now.

“Sorry, Mr. Simpson. Mr. Wimbledon has more cards to play. He pays better. I’d have to take his side.”

“With all her tangled feelings dragging her intellect down, how was I supposed to put all my chips on Sarah Duran? You’re the one who’s lost this time, Robert!”

Eric sniggered mockingly.

He felt that, with his victory assured, he’d be able to take Robert away immediately.

“Do you think I found out by accident that Sarah might be threatened by you?”

Robert smiled mildly. A thundering rang out from the sky and slowly grew louder.

Eric paled and someone ran out of the warehouse, saying something in his ear. His expression turned ugly.

“You’ve got me this time, Robert Simpson!”

Eric spat, and Robert turned to Boss Nash.

“I never expected you to take my side. Ever since you promised you could work for me, I’d never trusted you fully. There’s already over a dozen helicopters on their way here. My men are going to be raining from the sky any moment now. Want to try me? Let’s see who cast the bigger web here.”

Eric’s face began to distort.

Because he’d had plastic surgery done, his features were particularly contorted when they twisted. This man had always given off an aura of darkness, and it was none clearer than now.

Soon, up to a hundred men in bulletproof vests surrounded the abandoned factory.

Not long afterwards, Jason and Jasper led those men over.

“What do we need to do now, Robert?”

Jasper asked at the side, while Jason outright sneered at Boss Nash, as if mocking his stupidity.

Boss Nash’s face crumbled and he threw the gun to the ground, looking back at the underlings behind him. All of them knelt on the ground and tossed their weapons away.

“It’s my mistake, Mr. Simpson. Please let me go!”

Boss Nash fell to his knees before Robert.

Robert ignored him and continued speaking to Eric.

“I’m not going to go to the brink with you. Let’s both back up. Give us Travis, and I’ll let you go. I’m a man of my word. I won’t use my men to hunt you down. I know you’re on hot coals with your body, Eric. I’ve already given you a way out. You must have plenty of valuable findings over on your side of research. My side has made a new discovery as well. You’re doing this for your body, and I’m doing this for mine as well. If you keep turning down my offer to cooperate and continue to attempt to capture me, we can see who leaves this world first.”

Eric looked darkly at Robert, then examined his surroundings.

All exfiltration routes had been sealed off by Robert’s men. He hadn’t considered how many backup plans this man had, enough to leave him without a choice.

All that effort, all that preparation, all those plots, from Sarah and Travis’ wedding, to luring Travis away and threatening Sarah to hurt Robert, up to this deal today.

He’d thought he was on the cusp of success, but only now did he find that his opponent was a natural enemy who’d managed to break out of all his plots.

“Bring Travis over here.”

After a long while, Eric finally said icily.

Robert smiled mildly and turned to Jason and Jasper.

“I’ll leave Boss Nash and his men to you. I need to go to the hospital. Georgia doesn’t know a thing, and I’ve hid so much from her. I have to explain it all. Thanks for your help today.”

“We’re all brothers here, so what’s with the formality?”

Jason chuckled, and Jasper spoke as well.

“I’m glad we could help you. We were waiting for your word behind the scenes and worried sick something would happen to you, you know? Thankfully, we set up a good plan this time. I didn’t expect this from Sarah, though. What do you plan to do with her?”

Robert frowned.
