Chapter 337 337: Straightforward with the straight and crooked with the crooked

Jedrick was on his way back to his meeting when Rick turned around and asked.

"The lady was quite defensive throughout. Are you sure she'll fall for your words?

Jedrick hesitated, shifting his gaze from his phone to Rick. His eyes were constantly inquiring, which amused him. He was the enthusiastic child who wanted to know everything in his head.

"She may not be ready, but she will eventually have to." I've learned one thing in life: be straightforward with the straight and crooked with the crooked, and Michelle currently falls into both categories.

Rick didn't say anything else, and they resumed driving.

"But that doesn't mean we're safe," she explained.

"Jedrick found you through us. His persistent efforts with Hayes International granted him access to our lives and enabled him to monitor everyone associated with us, including you. Without a doubt, he would prioritize safety." Stefan was the one who reasoned.

Everybody agreed.

"But what happens next? I told him that I would consider his apology, and he agreed to give me some time. Michelle did whatever Ella ordered her, though she doubted the man was genuinely telling the truth.
