Chapter 398 A Kiss with the Taste of Cake

Patrick's phone rang. He glanced at the number and turned away from Vera.

Vera tilted her head, curious. She thought, 'Why's he avoiding me?'

After the call, Patrick found Shawn, and they went to the study.

Vera stood in the living room, puzzled. "What's going on?"

Alan wrapped up his meeting with Dennis and headed back to the office to see Jesse.

Since the conversation was crucial, Jesse and Alan went home.

Alan said, "Dad, Dennis wants to work with us. He hasn't given details, but it seems shady."

Jesse asked, "Who did you meet today?"

Alan thought of the three people present. "Jerry was there too."

Jesse was shocked and looked at Alan.

Alan confirmed, "Timothy's boss."

Jesse advised, "Alan, you can't agree to this. We're still aligning with the Chase family now. A strong alliance is the right move."

Dawn, having overheard the conversation, quickly chimed in. Although she initially didn't want to get involved, hearing about the Chase family changed her mind, she quickly chimed in, "Alan, you need to cooperate." Jesse and Alan looked at her.
