    Disbelief shed across Reba’s eyes.


    “Why? Don’t you like her?” she asked.

    “You just need to remember she’s not someone you can mess with. I’m returning to the country soon, so you’d better not make any moves. Otherwise, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!” Drake warned.


    Reba froze for a moment, but before she could react, the video call ended.


    After tossing his phone onto the table, Drake’s expression turned into one of extreme excitement.


    Finally, he had found her!


    Meanwhile, Reba stared at her now nk phone screen, her gaze cold.


    What did Drake mean by saying N was off–limits? And his reaction–it didn’t seem like he was romantically interested in her.


    After all, if Drake were interested in a woman, he would first have private photos of her taken, then use those to coerce her into sleeping with him.


    The more Reba thought about it, the stranger Drake’s attitude seemed. There had to be something more going on!


    No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was off.


    After thinking it over for a while, she decided to let it go for now. She’d figure out what Drake was up to once he returned to the country.


    That evening, just as N was getting off work, two men in ck suits stopped her in the underground parking lot.


    “Ms. Jayston, Mr. Richard would like to see you,” one of them said.


    N’s expression was cold. “I have nothing to say to him.”


    The men remained unperturbed. “Mr. Richard said if you don’t agree to meet him, he’ll have no choice but to pay a visit to your father.”


    N frowned, her voice icy. “Where?”


    “We’ll take you there,” they replied.


    “I have my own car,” N said curtly.


    After a moment of tense silence, one of the men called Richard.


    After a brief exchange, he turned back to her. “He’s waiting for you at Paradine.”


    It was over an hourter when N finally arrived at Paradine.


    A server led her to the private room, where Richard was growing impatient.

    The moment she sat down, he spoke harshly, “I hear you’ve submitted new evidence with yourwyer?”


    “Your informationwork is impressive.” N smiled, meeting Richard’s gaze without a trace of fear.


    Richard’s eyes were cold. His face, which bore a resemnce to Damon’s, was deeply lined, yet he still radiated authority. “You won’t win this case. Name your terms.”


    “I just want a fair trial,” N replied.


    There was a cold glint in Richard’s eyes. “Fair? You need to decide what’s more important–fairness or your family. Think about it.”


    N snickered. “Is that a threat?”


    “Take it however you want. You don’t really think Damon is still going to protect you, do you?” Richard taunted.


    Richard’s gaze grew even more disdainful as he recalled how N had seduced Damon and rk. He should never have softened and allowed rk to marry her in the first ce!


    “He’s certainly not protecting me. But I’m not dropping thewsuit,” N said firmly.


    “It doesn’t matter whether you do or not. Do you really think a kidnapping charge will put my son in prison?” Richard asked.


    “Don’t forget about the fraud involving Harris Pharmaceuticals,” N reminded him.


    Richard gestured to the bodyguard standing next to him. The man picked up a file from the table and handed it to N.


    “Harrison has already agreed to drop the charges. He even took 7,000,000 dors from me. If you don’t drop the case, I can turn around and sue him for extortion. You wouldn’t want your father to go to prison at his age, would you?” Richard informed her.


    N took the file, her eyes filling with disbelief and anger as she flipped through the pages. Her hands trembled, crumpling the paper.


    Thewsuit had been her initiative. Harrison had no authority to drop it. Now that he had taken so much money from the Sumners, their legal team could easily frame it as extortion.


    She tossed the file onto the table, her heart growing cold with disappointment.
