Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 368 368: He was later adopted by Gerald Miller

"How the hell do you not know what Jedrick was up to, Rick? He almost got Marcus killed!" Jonathan's furious voice tore through the phone as he confronted Rick.

This wasn't just an accident—it was a calculated move. Jedrick had planned everything, ensuring Marcus would be left incapacitated. With Marcus out of the picture, Jedrick had a clear path to take control.

Jonathan's breath came shallow as he processed the weight of the situation.

"You need to be careful, Rick. Jedrick keeping secrets from you is a bad sign," he warned, his grip on the phone tightening.

He had already suspected something was off from Rick's absence, but this call only confirmed it. And now, more than ever, he needed to make sure Rick stayed protected.

"I will," Rick replied, his tone unreadable before abruptly ending the call.

Jonathan exhaled, the burden on his shoulders growing heavier. Marcus had been targeted—something they had anticipated, but never expected it to be this brutal.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so restless?"

Jonathan turned to see Erna walking into the room, concern evident in her expression. She had heard his raised voice and knew something was wrong. She already sensed his distress after what happened to Marcus, but now, seeing his pale, tense face, her worry deepened.

She stepped closer, pressing a glass of water into his hands. "Here, drink this."

Without a word, Jonathan took a few sips, his mind racing. He needed to think clearly. Jedrick's movements were becoming more erratic, more dangerous. Even Rick, someone who should have been closest to him, was being kept in the dark.

Erna gently rubbed his back in an attempt to soothe him. "I called Nancy this morning. She said Marcus has woken up."

Jonathan's head snapped up, surprise flashing across his features. But just as quickly, his expression dimmed, shadows settling in his eyes.

He wasn't ready to face Marcus—not with the same confidence and ease as before. Not after what he had just uncovered.

"Jonathan… are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" Erna asked softly, a last shred of hope in her voice.
