Chapter 337

The head of the bodyguards quickly relayed the message to Old Mr. Lawrence, “Old Mr. Lawrence, the guards at the entrance said Jeffrey and Ms. Jensen just left.”

“What?” Old Mr. Lawrence sounded surprised.

“Is it because of that wine that got spilled on him earlier?” Old Mr. Lawrence wondered.

I didn’t do it on purpose. Come on, he’s the CEO of the Hanson Group–he can’t be that stingy, can he? Old Mr. Lawrence thought.

“Should we stop them?” the head of the bodyguards asked.

“No,” Old Mr. Lawrence said, his face serious and his expression somber. “We didn’t treat them right, so honestly, it’s no surprise he’d walk out if he wasn’t pleased.”

Just then, Ryan’s phone buzzed with a message from Rebecca.

Rebecca: [Mr. Guzman, I’m heading out with Jeffrey. Talk soon!]

And Jeffrey sent: [The spotlight’s yours now–go wild. I’m on standby if you need backup.]

Ryan was hit with a storm of feelings all at once.

He’d originally resented Jeffrey for basically stealing Rebecca away, but now he couldn’t even bring himself to stay angry. For Rebecca to get her shares, Jeffrey was willing to let Ryan use him as a pawn–clearly, the guy genuinely cared about her.

Ryan: [The Guzmans aren’t ones to mess with.]

Still, out of kindness, Ryan shot Jeffrey a quick warning.

Some folks might back down, not wanting to tick off Jeffrey, but Miles and his side wouldn’t miss the chance to kick up a fuss. God knows what kind of stunt they’ll pull next.

When it comes to getting his hands on those shares, Miles wouldn’t hesitate to cross any line.

Jeffrey replied nonchalantly: [Is Stephen really that difficult to handle?]

Ryan paused.

‘Well, not really, Ryan thought.

[Just go all out, don’t hold back,] Jeffrey messaged again. [I’ll take care of the rest.]

“Old Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Guzman,” Gregory’s voice suddenly cut through the air. He stood beside them in a sharp suit, looking every bit the gentleman and the professional. “Mr. Hanson and Ms. Jensen have some matters to attend to, so they asked me to come say goodbye on their behalf.”
