Chapter 544 She Wanted to Get Revenge
"Jane, now's not the time to be stubborn! We need to get the book back as soon as possible!" Although Bradley felt terrible for Jane, the book was significant to him.
Jane lowered her head sadly. "Don't you love me anymore, Daddy? Is that ancient book the only thing that you care about?"
"Jane!" Mr. Oberlin snapped. "Is this how you talk to your father? It looks like I've honestly spoiled you rotten!"
"Daddy, you—" Jane started crying as she ran upstairs.
After Bradley calmed down, his wife, Lina, said anxiously, "Darling, you were too harsh on your daughter. You didn't even ask her why she wanted to go against Selena."
He hit his head lightly. "Well, you're right. Still, the Fowlers are very influential in Astoria, and I heard that their assets alone were enough to go against other countries, so we shouldn't take them lightly. I'll personally pay them a visit tomorrow."
When Jane got back to her room, she buried her head in her pillow and started crying.
She hated Selena to the bone!
Jane couldn't believe that Selena would take the ancient scroll away from her and caused her to get scolded by her own father when she had already publicly humiliated her!
No. There is no way I'll let this go!
I want my revenge!
On the other hand, Linda was shopping in an international mall in Yucaria. She was dressed up splendidly and was greeted warmly by all of the salespeople, as a rich woman like her would surely help them to increase their sales target after all.
Linda, who was looking at jewelry, toyed with a jade bracelet in her hand. In the past, she had never known what was so nice about that jade bracelet that Selena had really wanted, but right now, she felt that that jade bracelet was truly the best of the best.
Right then, a man in a black suit approached her. "Miss Dunn, can you spare me some time?"
Startled, Linda started scanning the man in front of her. The man with a stern facial expression appeared to be from Astoria, and she immediately knew that he wasn't one to be taken lightly.
"I don't have time for this." Linda didn't want to get into trouble. However, she felt something against her waist right after she placed the jade bracelet down and tried to leave.
Linda's intuition told her that it was a gun.
"I'm sorry, Miss Dunn, but our master wants to meet you." The man's voice was cold, and he used his body to cover the gun strategically so that others wouldn't know what they were doing. In fact, they might even think that this man was just trying to flirt with a beautiful woman.
After Linda pondered for a moment, she nodded. "Alright."
Then, she followed the man and headed upstairs.
The floor above should be the food and beverage department of the mall. I wonder who would want to bring me here. Could it be that my plan failed and Selena or Pierre found out about it?
Linda continued guessing as she walked. Although she tried to escape halfway through, she had no chance to run away because the man was smart enough to aim the gun at her the entire time. Hence, she had no choice but to enter the dining area.
Upon entering a private room, Linda saw Jason.
Since she had been staying in Yucaria for a while now, she knew who he was as well. "Mr. Murray?"
Right then, Jason waved his hand at the man behind Linda and motioned for him to leave. Immediately, the man left the room.
"Hello, Miss Dunn. I'm sorry to ask you over in this way."
Noticing that Jason was polite, an anxious smile appeared on Linda's face. "I wonder why am I invited here? I don't think we've ever met in the past, though?"
"Please have a seat, Miss Dunn. We should have a chat."
Right then, Linda sat down suspiciously. She didn't know why Jason was looking for her. However, when she moved over to Yucaria, she wanted to look for financial backing and had her target set on Jason. The Murray Family was a strong force that couldn't be shaken easily, and also, Jason was beyond a doubt a handsome man.
