The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 182

Chapter 182: A falling out.

Now the woman he had claimed he was getting married to had gotten married already. He cursed Martin Jones in his mind.

He already knew that there was no way these two Jones daughters could do it by themselves. He could see the hand print of the Hunter family all over it. He paused at that moment. The Shaw family may be hard to deal with, but the Madison family

was not.

He took out his phone and made a call. Soon, Samuel Madison picked the call.

"You are calling me directly?" Samuel said.

"Your grandson married the woman I was to marry. Do you think this is okay?" he asked and Samuel almost cursed. What was their obsession with this Emma girl. "You too are obsessed with that Emma Girl?" Samuel asked.

"Should that be your concern? I don't think I would let this go. You should know how much evidence I have in my hands that can bring you down," Daniel threatened. "Are you threatening me?" Samuel asked darkly.

"I am asking you to put your grandson on a leash. I thought we were on the same side. But he partnered up with my enemies. How does that make you look, Mr. Madison?" Daniel asked.

"I will wait for your results," Daniel said and ended the call.

Richard and his father, Jonathan, stepped out of Emma's hospital room, leaving Helena to fuss over her daughter-in-law and ensure her comfort. As the door closed behind them, a heavy silence hung in the air, thick with unspoken tension.

It was Jonathan who finally broke the silence, his voice low and grave. "Richard, there's something you need to know," he said, his eyes clouded with a mixture of concern and regret.

emotion; rage. He had thought he would never have to go this far with his grandfather. But for the sake of Emma, for the sake of their unborn child, he would do whatever it took to protect them, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, in the opulent office of Samuel Madison, the patriarch of the Madison family, a tense atmosphere hung in the air. The old man sat behind his massive mahogany desk, his brow furrowed in a deep scowl as he glared at the man standing before him. "What do you mean, the attempt to abduct that little girl failed?"
