Chapter 197

"What is the matter with you, Jack? Why isn't anyone here yet? We are all waiting at the Blue Diamond. Also, is that punk Keith coming or not? You promised me that you would bring him here. Do you not want the project in Ewing?" Bentley's arrogant voice came from the other end of the call.

Hearing that, Katherine raised her eyebrows and looked at Jack, who was visibly embarrassed. Jack then huffed, "Who are you saying wants the Ewing project? Stop shooting your mouth! Keith and I both can't make it because we have something else to attend to. Let's do this some other day—"

"You better think this through, Jack," Bentley coldly interrupted before he finished his words with a threat. "If you reject me today, not only will you lose the project in Ewing, it will probably be tough for the Fosters to live another peaceful day in Hovington."

Jack's expression changed, and he hung up the phone without saying a word.

Katherine finally understood the reason Jack cooperated with Bentley by luring Keith to the Blue Diamond Club.

"Are the Adlers very influential in Hovington?" Katherine looked at Joaquin and asked for his opinion. She knew a lot about the Foster Family's situation, but she had never heard of the Adlers before.

"They are just so-so. They are a third-rate family that does not have a big business, but there is a member of the Alders who works in the municipal party committee. He has some influence that allows him to get certain projects that are not particularly important. So yes, they are somewhat influential in Hovington." Joaquin pondered for a moment as he tried to recall Bentley.

It was also thanks to Bentley being a scum who did scummy things and even joined in on the smuggling of F&D that Joaquin knew a little about the Alder Family, as Bentley was on Area Seven's watch list.

"Ha, the system is in shambles now? He is doing whatever he wants just because he has some connections?" Katherine let out a sneer. She was just about to take out her phone to send a message to Savannah and have her handle the Alders when Joaquin spoke.

"The Alders is also connected to the abroad F&D group. Area Seven has been following after this line, and it is almost time for us to pull the net. Since they can't wait to get themselves killed, I will fulfill their wishes. You can cease action."

He threw her a glance after saying that.

Guilty, she quietly rubbed her nose.

After her real identity was known, it seemed like she barely had any secrets left she was keeping from Joaquin at this point.
