Stanley was being watched by Stephen’s secretary at the moment.

When he saw Jeffrey’s name flashing on the screen, he reached for it, but two bodyguards stopped him.

The secretary, Bernard, looked at Stanley with a professional smile. “Mr. Garcia, Mr. Stephen Hanson has instructed that you cannot touch your phone without his permission.”

“Just so you know, that’s Jeffrey calling me,” Stanley reminded him.

Bernard, dressed sharply in a suit, replied, “I know.”

Stanley said, “You know exactly what happens if you piss him off.”

“This is Stephen’s order. We’re just following instructions,” Bernard replied, refusing to budge. After all, he worked directly for Stephen.

“Then go ahead and follow orders,” Stanley said, sprawling out on the sofa like he didn’t have a care in the world. “Anyway, if Jeffrey really loses his temper, nobody’s going to be able to hold him back.”

Bernard was left speechless. He knew Stanley wasn’t wrong.

“How about a compromise? I won’t touch my phone, you pick up for me and put it on speaker,” Stanley suggested when he saw Bernard was hesitating. “That way, we’re not breaking Mr. Stephen Hanson’s rules.”

After thinking it over for a moment, Bernard picked up and answered the call.

Jeffrey’s voice cut in right away. “Where are you?”

“Second–floor lounge,” Stanley said, scanning the room. He filled Jeffrey in. “No idea what’s up with Rebecca.

“I just came downstairs, and Stephen’s secretary plus two bodyguards pretty much dragged me over here, confiscated my phone, and now they’re handling my calls on speaker for me.”

Jeffrey’s eyes grew colder, his whole vibe turning icy.

‘Stephen’s even locked down Stanley?‘ Jeffrey thought, suspicion creeping in. ‘Just what the hell is he plotting”

I’ll be there soon. Think you can break out?” Jeffrey pressed, his tone deadly serious.

Stanley caught on to his cue. “As long as the timing’s right, I can pull it off.”

“Mr. Jeffrey Hanson?” Bernard suddenly spoke up.

Stanley glanced up.

Jeffrey was still tearing down the road on his bike and ignored him.

“Mr. Stephen Hanson’s got everything on lockdown here, and Mr. Garcia’s bodyguards are all under our
