Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 366

Chapter 366 366: Marcus got into a fatal accident

Inside the moving car, silence settled between Stefan and Marcus. The meeting had been intense, offering them deeper insight into Jedrick's true motives for approaching them.

He was suspicious. That much was clear. And now, they had to be careful—a lot more careful.

"Did you notice it too?" Marcus suddenly asked, turning his head toward Stefan, his expression questioning.

"What?"

"Jedrick seemed more cautious than before," he said.

Stefan had sensed the same. And deep down, he already knew why. With his carefully laid plans falling apart, Jedrick was becoming more guarded, more calculated. He was watching everyone around him, measuring his steps.

And he should be.

They needed to keep him on edge, make him second-guess every move he made. Keep him at bay.

Stefan had ensured that when he made him sign that contract with Ella.

Still, he didn't trust him.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed. His expression softened slightly as he glanced at the name flashing on the screen.

"Hello," he answered, his tone shifting.

Marcus observed him closely, noting the maturity in his son's voice as he spoke. It was subtle, but it reassured him.

When Stefan ended the call, he turned to Marcus, who was now watching him with an unusual expression—one Stefan wasn't used to seeing.
