Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

Chapter 42

Gerald, of course, pales when I tell him about the nurse’s observation.

“Well,” he mutters, “I cannot say that the thought did not occur to me. You being your father’s son…it will not come as a surprise that people would make the connection between you and your father and come after you in order to get to your father.”

“Oh, god,” I drawl, rubbing my hands on my face. “it’s way too early to be having these revelations. Seriously, why on earth did I think it was a good idea to come back here? I should’ve known that something like this would happen. I should’ve taken my chance with the bullies and stayed.”

“Come now, Jace,” Gerald pats my back soothingly as I hunch over in the backseat of the car, “it might not be true. You may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time I mean, there could be nobody targeting you specifically, but only Zelt Tech employees Or maybe they are not targeting anyone at all. You’re not the only person who had been shot at in the past few weeks.”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better? People are getting injured and dying, Gerald. This is serious.”

“I am well aware it is, young master. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider all the facts.”

“Certainly, Jace.”

“I forgot to give you this,” she hands me over the piece of paper without really meeting my voice, “I was serious about what I said. Have a good day.”
