A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 323

The middle-aged man at the center of the gathering was none other than Jason Grant, the Executive Deputy Mayor of Alnewgo. Standing beside him was a distinguished couple—the man exuded authority and composure, while the woman radiated elegance and undeniable presence.

They were none other than Quintis and Emily, the power couple behind Sandalwood Group.

Jason scanned the scene, his voice calm but commanding. "What's going on here?"

Raydon quickly stepped forward, bowing his head slightly as he explained the situation in hushed tones.

Jenny immediately seized the moment. "Mr. Grant, this guy's a thief! You need to have him arrested right away!"

Both Jason and Quintis turned their eyes to Jack, a flicker of surprise crossing their faces.

At that moment, Emily's gaze also landed on Jack. Her brow furrowed.

"It's you?"

The memory of that day at the Sandalwood Group's headquarters was still fresh in her mind—Jack had attacked Tristan. That was something she wouldn't forget anytime soon.

Of all places, she never expected to run into him here. What were the odds?

Both Jason and Quintis noticed Emily's reaction, clearly sensing she knew Jack.

But instead of explaining, Emily simply nodded and stated, "I agree with Mrs. Cane. I know this young man, and I can vouch for his character—or rather, his lack of it."

A woman of Emily's status wouldn't stoop to crude insults. But that didn't mean she had to hold back her contempt. She didn't just dislike Jack—she despised him.

After losing her older son, Tristan had become her entire world. And knowing that Jack had laid hands on him made her blood boil. If she could, she'd slap him across the face right now.

Even the greatest saints struggled with impartiality when it came to those they loved.

Behind her were Zane, Leo, and Jack's other friends.

Clearly, they were worried Jack would be outnumbered, which explained why they'd rushed over in such a hurry.

The adults exchanged stunned glances, momentarily thrown off by the group's urgency.

Charlotte nodded. "Yes, I invited him here. If you don't believe me, ask Zane, fatso, and Leo."

Zane and the others immediately nodded in agreement.

The confidence drained from Jenny's face in an instant. She never expected this so-called 'thief' to actually know Charlotte and her friends.

Hector and Melissa looked equally horrified. It had never crossed their minds that someone like Jack could be connected to people in their circle.
