Chapter 266 Chapter 266 The hitmans words left the entire Sawyer family stunned .
A monster ? All their men taken out ? Marshall couldnt wrap his head around it .
Thats impossible ....
Before they could react , the hitman continued , voice filled with rage .
You told us she was just some ordinary girl ! Because of your lies , we suffered huge losses .
This isnt over .
The Sawyer family will pay for this ! Wait ! Dont hang up- But it was too late .
Marshall stared at his phone , face pale .
Not only did they fail to kill Noelle now even the assassins are out for revenge ! They were completely screwed .
Meanwhile , Nicolas had tightened the estates security after receiving the ominous message from the Sawyers , anticipating a potential attack .
But several days passed ... and nothing happened .
Not even a shadow .
Maybe your family suddenly grew a conscience ? Noelle offered , ever the optimist .
Nicolas snorted.
If the Sawyers suddenly found their conscience , it would be a miracle .
So what now ? she asked .
Simple .
Freeze all their assets .
End of story .
Back at the Sawyer estate , just as the family was still reeling from the assassin fiasco , the next disaster struck Nicolas made his move . In one swift , ruthless sweep , he exposed every shady detail the Sawyer family had buried over the years .
Their entire fortune was seized , accounts frozen , assets confiscated .
The once proud Sawyer family was left stunned , unable to e even put up a fight .
Just like that , they vanished from the business world .
Even after settling the score with the Sawyers , Nicolas didnt slow down .
He knew Noelles background was far more complicated than it seemed and if he wanted to protect her , he needed more power .
It meant doing something he swore he never would : contacting the family of his late mother the Jenkins family .
Before reaching out , Nicolas had played out every possible scenario in his mind .
His grandfather , Rory Jenkins , had famously cut ties with Nicolass mother years ago , declaring her dead to him .
The man never even attended her funeral .
Truthfully , Nicolas had no desire to reconnect .
There was no affection between them .
But with the shadow of Noelles secret organization looming , he needed stronger allies and the Jenkins family was one of the most powerful families in existence .
So he made contact , bracing himself for rejection .
To his surprise the Jenkins family agreed to meet immediately and quite enthusiastically at that When Nicolas stepped into the massive Jenkins estate for the first time , he immediately felt the weight of their legacy The entire place was more palace than home sprawling architecture , manicured grounds , even a private lake and surrounding forest that stretched for Led by the butler through layer upon layer of grandeur .
Nicolas was finally shown to a serene rear courtyard Mr Sawyer .
Mr.
Jenkins Refund a decorative screen at an elderly haired but strikingly youthful for his age .
His presence radiated pows Chapter 266 This was Rory Jenkins , his grandfather ..
Youre here , Rory said calmly , sipping his coffee .
Nicolas took one look at him and gave his trademark smile , as if he were just visiting an old relative .
Its been too long .
Grandpa .
I hope youll forgive me for not visiting sooner .
Spare me the pleasantries .
Rory said flatly , placing his cup down .
He gave Nicolas a long , appraising look then gave a rare nod of approval .
As expected of my blood .
Impressive .
Nicolas returned the smile , eyes sharp but polite .
Well , good genes do help .
Rory raised an eyebrow , And a silver tongue .
100 .
I only speak from the heart No need to flauer me , Rory said , cutting to the chase .
I agreed to meet you because I have no intention of making things difficult fact , Im prepared to give you the support youre looking for .
That gave Nicolas pause .
His smile faltered ever so slightly .
So ... you know why Im here ? Dont underestimate the Jenkins information network , Rory replied with a smug smile .
I know exactly what youve been doing , who youve met , and everything you own .
Ive kept a close eye on you . Nicolass eyes darkened .
So hes been watching me all these years ... but did nothing while I was trampled by the Sawyers ? No wonder my mother wanted nothing to do with this man .
Still , for Noelles sake , Nicolas swallowed his anger and smiled coolly .
So , are you satisfied with what youve seen ? Youve done well Rory nodded .
You took your mothers 30 % stake and turned it into an empire capable of devouring your fathers company .
Even among the Jenkins heirs , few could match that .
Nicolas smirked , but got straight to the point , Then lets not waste time .
You know why Im here .
Whats your price ? Whatever I -I will Rory gave a knowing smile , tapping his fingers lightly on the table .
Come out .
Nicolas blinked , confused .
He turned toward the source of the noise And from behind a screen stepped a beautiful , poised woman with graceful curves and a knowing smile .
1 : was Angeline Haney .
The ume woman from the business dinner earlier that week .
Mr.
Sawyer , she said warmly .
Fancy seeing you again so soon .
do Nicolass gaze cooled .
He looked from Angeline to his grandfather , lips curving into a faint , dangerous smile , Grandpa , care to explain Rory met his eyes , unbothered , and said with deliberate clarity , You want the Jenkins familys backing ? Fine .
But my condition is this you marry Angeline Comment
