Chapter 640

"Jack, you traitor." Devin, with veins bulging in his neck, hurled a mug at Jack in fury. "If Herman's got it out for me, tell him to come and get me. Right now."

"Calm down, Devin. Why the temper?" Jack dodged the flying mug effortlessly, a smirk playing on his lips. "You were gunning for Elysian Technologies, so you should've known this day might come. Your daughter Julie set up Granny Anita, making her believe the wrong things about your wife's pregnancy. Julie hit two birds with one stone, causing two lives to be lost. Mr. Salstrom going after you is actually a bargain for the Brown family." Jack was just using scare tactics on Devin.

Devin was the bait; Julie was the real target.

Whether Devin survived didn't matter, but news of his death would definitely hit the headlines by the next morning.

Panicking, Devin pleaded, "Assistant Rob, I need to see Mr. Salstrom. I had no clue about what Julie was up to. It's all a misunderstanding."

"Two lives lost isn't just a misunderstanding." Jack checked the time, unwilling to waste more words on Devin, and signaled the bodyguards to ensure no one entered the hospital room.
