Chapter 108:

A year after his car accident, Jayden, who had been pretending to be wheelchair-bound, had vanished from the business scene, slowly fading from memory. He maintained a low profile to gather strength and avoid his grandpa’s manipulation, particularly after his grandpa exploited his marriage.

Driscoll nodded with respect. “I see. I’ll get a car ready for you.”

As Jayden fiddled with coins, he reflected on his ongoing investigation into the accident’s cause. Unable to pinpoint the culprit, he cautiously continued his ruse of disability. He got in the car and drove to a coffee shop.

The waitress, noticing him, guided him courteously to a private room where Peyton and a man with gold-rimmed glasses awaited.

Clive Yates rose and extended a handshake. Peyton, watching their exchange, quipped, “We’re friends. Let’s not be so distant, okay? Handshaking. Was that really necessary?”

Clive maintained a smile but didn’t react to Peyton’s comment.

Jayden, bypassing Peyton’s interjection, got straight to the point. “My grandpa plans to use the Foster family’s land to create a new landmark.” He paused briefly before adding, “But I won’t let that happen. I intend to thwart his plans completely.”
