Chapter 456

In Mealinia, Yelena looked at Jackson in the lounge with a helpless expression. “Mr. Lynn, my boss isn’t available right now. For this partnership, you might want to consider other options.”

No one really knew why Jackson was so determined to meet Nathan. For the past month, he’d been showing up every few days. Even after being explicitly told that Nathan wouldn’t see him, Jackson remained persistent, relentlessly requesting a meeting.

“Yelena, please tell your boss, the more he dodges me, the more curious I get.

“If I actually see him, I might just give up,” Jackson said lazily, hands folded on his knees as he leaned back in his chair. He seemed quite used to being turned down by now.

Jackson had been in Mealinia for a month now, yet not once had he managed to meet Nathan. And the more he failed to see Nathan, the more certain Jackson became of his suspicions.

Jackson was determined to see him. What worried Jackson most was the thought that something might have happened to Nathan.

‘Nathan cared so deeply about Zinnia,‘ Jackson thought. “There’s no way he would have left her home unless he had some compelling reason. And now, with him still refusing to meet me… that just makes things even more suspicious.’

Over the past month, Jackson had witnessed firsthand how MZ Group slowly but surely dismantled Moore Group–ruthless in their tactics and merciless in their approach.

They had Moore Group in the palm of their hand, manipulating them with ease, then, with bold, sweeping moves, drove them to the edge. The business world was indeed brutal.

Now, Moore Group had been completely swallowed up by MZ Group, but both the head of the Moore Group and his eldest son had vanished without a trace. Rumors swirled that they had been taken.

“Mr. Lynn, may I ask why you’re so insistent on meeting my boss?” Yelena inquired, her composed features reflecting professional curiosity.

“Tell him I’ve been searching for him for seventeen years. I won’t give up easily,” Jackson said as he uncrossed his legs, stood up, and slowly straightened his sleeves. After seventeen years of being avoided, he knew meeting Nathan wouldn’t come without a fight.
