Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 323

As soon as Zane returned to his study and was about to sit down, his phone rang

Glancing at the name flashing on the screen, he didn’t need to think twice to know why Jeremy was calling it was befminely about what had happened that afternoon.

Zane hadn’t expected Fabian to act so quickly. In just a short time, word had already reached the Murphy Family

With a slight swipe of his finger, Zane answered the call without saying a word jeremy’s voice immediately came through the receiver. “Zane, I nearly didn’t live to see tomorrow because of you

Yes, nearly, right?” Zane replied, his voice as cold and sharp as eVEL.

Jeremy was instantly annoyed. “Zane, could you at least show a little sympathy? I got into this mess for your safe, after all

“Tell Mr. Murphy there’s no need to worry about the western district property. I’ll take care of Fabian Zane said.

Jeremy was taken aback. “You already know?”

“But I didn’t say a single word. Does Zane have some kind of mind–reading ability? Jeremy thought

You think everyone’s as stupid as you? Almost anyone could figure this out.” Zane said.

Jeremy felt insulted again. “Hey, I’m actually pretty smart, okay?”

“If you were, you wouldn’t have lost the land.” Zane countered.

“Fabian is as sly as a fox. How was I supposed to outmaneuver him? Besides, weren’t you the one who told me to use the western district land as bait to lure him out?” Jeremy argued.

His tone carried a hint of grievance, but Zane’s expression remained unreadable as he responded in a deep voice. I never told you to set up the meeting so far away and then not discuss a single thing related to the land Jeremy, do you even know how to act?”

“Act?” Jeremy raised an eyebrow, clearly not understanding what Zane meant.

Zane elaborated. “If you had made it look more convincing, Fabian wouldn’t have had enough reason to pressure the Murphy Family.

“Besides, the Murphy Family values their reputation above all else. You know exactly what kind of temper your grandfather has. Fabian played right into that and used it against you.”

Jeremy finally caught on.
