John Jennings felt a bit flustered inside, but he quickly steadied himself, "No."
Justin Kingston went straight to the point, "Alright, I can make it clear over the phone too." His voice was cold and deep, "Listen carefully, I’m only going to say this once."
"You took my father-in-law’s Jade Pendant, you’d better return it to voluntarily!"
"And don’t even think about the other piece." Justin was imposing without being angry, giving him a chance, "Since I’ve found your phone number, I also know where you are right now."
John Jennings didn’t understand, knowing where he was but not coming to catch him? Or did Justin not yet receive news of David Dalton’s kidnapping?
However, Justin’s aura inexplicably made him feel a little guilty, as if a surveillance cara had been set up in the air.
How did Justin know if his whereabouts were so secretive?
And in fact, John Jennings instantly understood that Justin’s information was still half a step behind.
"I not only took his Jade Pendant, but the man himself is now in my hands!" John Jennings laughed, "What? You didn’t know that?"
Justin’s eyes were deep, analyzing the truth of his words.
The brief silence made John Jennings more certain that Justin didn’t know about it yet.
So, he imdiately took control, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Justin, Riventhal is your turf, I don’t want to provoke you, nor will I harm him, but I have one condition, hand over the other half of the Jade Pendant!"
Judging from John Jennings’ tone, he didn’t seem to be lying.
Justin’s chest tightened slightly, and he decisively hung up the phone, which was beyond John Jennings’ expectation.
"Hello? Hello!" He shouted twice, "Damn it! Is he not afraid I’ll kill him?!"
John Jennings turned his thoughts, muttering, "Is he scared? Nervous? At a loss? Or... doesn’t believe what I said?"
At The Dalton Group, Mia Lane stood in the elevator, staring at the changing numbers, her chest feeling stuffy.
Ding, the elevator doors opened.
As she walked out of the elevator, she accidentally tripped, stumbling forward!
"Careful!" Trevor was startled, grabbing her.
Mia Lane raised her eyes, realizing she had bumped into Trevor’s arms, "Thank you." She instinctively steadied herself, her ankle twisted a bit, it hurt.
"Are you okay?" Trevor asked with concern.
"I’m fine." Mia Lane smoothed her eyebrows, standing firm, awkwardly saying, "Sorry."
"Do you need to see a doctor?" Trevor noticed her foot was hurt, "Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
She shook her head, gently pulling back his hand, then took a step back, always rembering Justin’s instructions.
She raised her eyes and asked, "Trevor, have you seen my dad? His phone isn’t reachable, I have a bad feeling."
Trevor imdiately pulled out his phone, dialing President Dalton’s private number, his expression slightly changed when it didn’t connect.
"What’s wrong?" Mia Lane’s heart was in her throat.
Trevor told her, "This is President Dalton’s ergency contact, it’s been ensured to be on 24/7 for years, but now it’s unreachable."
"..." Mia Lane’s heart sank, completely panicked.
Sotis she particularly trusts premonitions.
"Don’t worry too much." Trevor didn’t think the worst, consoling, "Exceptions happen in everything."
Just then, Mia Lane’s phone rang.
She quickly took it out, it was Justin.
Even though she wasn’t really in the mood to answer, she still did, "Hey, honey." She was a bit distracted, planning to find her dad.
"Is your dad at the company?" Justin asked calmly.
Mia Lane nervously told him, "My dad is missing, his ergency contact is closed, Trevor said his phone is never off! Honey, I have a bad feeling..."
"He’s very likely with John Jennings." Justin told her, "Wait for at the company, I’ll co pick you up."
He had analyzed it, trusting what John Jennings said.
