See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 268 The Cost

In the Ferguson’s manor, Horace’s heart sank as he listened to the butler’s report.

His dad indeed made a move, and it was a ruthless one right off the

bat.

Although their family primarily operated in the restaurant industry, his father was good at socializing. Over the years, he had already established connections with many people in the business and political circles. As long as his father spoke up, those people would give him

some face. It wouldn’t be difficult to bring down a company together.

“Where is my dad?” Horace became anxious, thinking about his father’s methods.

The butler looked at him uncomfortably, “Young Master, Mr. Ferguson didn’t allow me to tell you his whereabouts. He said whatever you do would be in vain, he must make the Johnson family pay the price.”

“Why make the Johnson family pay the price, but not the Friedan family?” Horace sneered with a cold face. In the end, he only dared to dominate locally, only daring to pick on the weak within his own territory.

“You told him that if he acted this way, the Friedan Group would definitely join forces with the Johnson family. Seraphina is no saint

either. He needs to clear his head. If he dares to offend the Johnson family, he should be prepared to offend the Enigma organization as well.”

As far as he knew, the power behind Seraphina was unfathomable. Although he didn’t know what her status was in the Enigma organization, her position was definitely not low.

It seemed that the Ferguson family had the upper hand, but in the end, it could backfire and they might lose disastrously.

“Enigma organization?” The butler’s eyes widened, “How could Mr. Ferguson have offended such an organization?”

Clearly, the butler had also heard of this organization, his eyes filled with fear.

Horace didn’t explain, thinking of Kingston’s methods, his heart was pounding.

In the end, he decided to call Claudia, to inform her about Kingston’s methods and intentions.

If the Johnson family went bankrupt because of this, she would definitely end up hating herself.

He didn’t want to be tainted by Kingston, and he certainly didn’t want any distance between Claudia and himself.

Thinking led to action, he picked up his phone and dialed a number…

At that time, Claudia was at the hospital with Emily, and Thomas was still unconscious, showing no signs of waking up.

“The police had come and said that there wasn’t enough evidence at the moment to rule out the possibility of your father having suicidal tendencies.”

Emily, with a face full of fatigue, managed to muster a smile upon seeing Claudia, “I heard your engagement with Horace was called off?”

Claudia nodded, “Actually… we’ve always just been playing roles.”
