The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 603

It was a very tempting offer, to say the least.

After all, the Norberg family's foundation ran deep—unshakeable in the Eastern State and holding influence beyond its borders. Gaining their unwavering allegiance would be an undeniable advantage for anyone.

But it was too late.

Nolan glanced at Vernon and let out a soft chuckle.

"For the esteemed Mr. Norberg Senior to make such an offer, you must truly be in a difficult position. After all, your ambitions have never been small either, have they?"

Vernon shook his head and said, "The Norbergs have been nothing more than big fish in a small pond, trapped in our own narrow view for far too long. We forgot that there are always greater forces beyond our reach.

"With formidable fighters like Scarlet under your command, and the unwavering support of Mr. Pierce, your future is limitless. We were wrong. We made the wrong choice. Please, Mr. Greene, grant us one more chance."

Nolan burst into laughter. "If I were the one who lost this time, would you have given me a chance?"

Vernon remained silent, but the answer was already clear.

Nolan let out a sigh and pointed toward the figures hanging from the flagpole—Hound and Owen.

"Mr. Norberg Senior, aren't you going to save them? After all, these two seem quite important to your family."
