The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 366

"Jeanne, there's no need to mock me. At least we've gotten what we wanted and will continue to get it. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!" With that, Kara snorted coldly and walked away.

Jeanne watched Kara's retreating figure, her expression showing clear dissatisfaction. She then frowned and dialed Nolan's number, but it went straight to voicemail again.

"Did you really block me too? Damn it, Nolan, are you even a man? Just wait; I'll find you and not let you off."

After muttering to herself, she left as well.

It had been one of Nolan's most peaceful days in a long time, at least for that night.

Lying on the small island in the middle of the lake at Misty Hill, Nolan felt unusually at ease thanks to the environment and essence there.

The following day, just as the sun rose, a small boat arrived quietly at the island with a hearty breakfast. The person delivering it was none other than Scarlet.

"Mr. Greene, judging by your complexion, it looks like you rested well last night." She smiled.

Nolan nodded. "The environment is great and very peaceful. It helps me relax."

She nodded in return, then spoke softly. "You haven't had proper rest since you returned. If you don't mind, let me handle the worldly matters for you. Just focus on resting."

He nodded without refusing.

However, another call came in from a different number almost immediately after he blocked her. Frustrated, Nolan picked up the phone.

Before he could speak, a voice that was both familiar and strange to him came through. "Dear, are you still mad at me? Why haven't you been answering my calls? Did you block me? I'm sorry. You're hurting my feelings with your actions."

He furrowed his brows and replied in a deep voice, "Megan, what are you playing at? Who's your 'dear'? Stop talking nonsense in front of me."

Just as he was about to hang up, an older yet powerful voice came through the phone, catching him off guard and making him laugh bitterly.

"Brat, is this how you speak to your wife? Apologize to her right now, you brat!"
