The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 358

Lense said softly, "Sorry, Mr. Greene set a time limit, and you didn't call within the allotted time. So, unfortunately, you no longer have a chance.

"Of course, if he is willing to give you another opportunity, everything can be discussed."

Then, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Jeanne stared blankly at the disconnected phone. At that moment, her eyes had a crazed look, and tears streamed down her face.

"Impossible! This can't be happening. But what if it is true? What if Nolan actually knows the president of Myth Group? That would explain how he got the Spirit of Life Serum.

"Damn it! Damn it! What did I miss? Why didn't I just make that call and try? No, no, no... I finally see an opportunity to rise after living half my life. I can't miss it.

"Nolan, that's it! I can still seize this opportunity and earn his forgiveness if I find him. Even Megan will have to bow to me. I want that feeling. I want this feeling so much that I would rather die than not have it!"

At that moment, Nolan had already returned to the Misty Hill. His previous house was no longer an option. Misty Hill was his home now.

After Scarlet brought the 120 people into Misty Hill, they did not merge with Sirius' men, but instead took additional steps to fortify the area.

Sitting by the small lake in Misty Hill, Nolan looked at her and smiled lightly. "Long time no see. Your temper's gotten worse."

She wouldn't hesitate to offend anyone in front of others, but when facing him, she was as docile as a well-behaved child.

"Mr. Greene, you're right. I will change, and from now on, I will improve my temper. I promise not to let you down."

He shook his head. "Forget it. You can fool others, but not me. Scarlet, I know your strength, but there's always someone stronger out there. Got it?"
