The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 618

"Just because she hates me? Just because she's talented, I should kill her? Scarlet, do I seem like someone who's afraid of trouble to you? I'll leave it to Pierce to deal with her. She will definitely be useful in the future, but of course, she'll make a dangerous opponent as well."

Nolan's casual dismissal left Scarlet with little to say. However, when Pierce was mentioned, his tone turned playful.

"Everyone says Pierce is cold-hearted and unfeeling, yet he made so many concessions for Harper today. That's actually not something easy to do. Mr. Greene, do you think Pierce might have a soft spot for her?"

Hearing this, Nolan burst into laughter. He then looked at Scarlet and said, "Don't let Pierce hear you say that, or he won't let you off easy."

Scarlet shrugged and chuckled. "I wouldn't dare say it to his face. He's too strong—even stronger than the last time I saw him. I think he already has one foot in the Dragon Ranking, and it's just a matter of time before he officially becomes a Dragon Ranking powerhouse."

As he spoke, his eyes filled with envy. Clearly, a spot on the Dragon Ranking was something he had been coveting for a long time. Yet, it was not something everyone would have a chance to get.

Nolan smiled and said, "You can ask Pierce yourself once he arrives here later. There's no need to rush since you're still young. The Dragon Ranking shouldn't be an insurmountable barrier for you."

Though Scarlet was comforted by his words, he also knew that getting a spot on the Dragon Ranking wasn't easy.

"Mr. Greene, Megan and Jeanne are still following us. What should we do about them?"

At the mention of these two women, Nolan's expression turned cold.

It was hard to decide what to do with them, but one thing was for certain—right now, the ones feeling the most anxious and conflicted were undoubtedly Megan and Jeanne.

By now, both of them should have fully realized just who it was they had looked down upon. It was exactly as Nolan had predicted.
