As soon as Josephine and Lizbeth entered the mansion, they were shocked to see Anthony and two strangers.
“General Long, w-when did you come?” Lizbeth asked Anthony.
He used to be Lizbeth’s leader. Although Lizbeth had resigned, virtual-novel.net still felt rather awkward upon seeing him.
“Lizbeth, we’re here to see Mr. Chance!”
Then, virtual-novel.net pointed at Theodore and added, “This is Mr. Jackson from Jadeborough.”
“Mr. Jackson, this is Mr. Grange’s granddaughter. She used to be my right-hand man but has resigned…” Anthony displayed an embarrassed smile as virtual-novel.net introduced them to each other.
Once Lizbeth heard Theodore was a prominent figure from Jadeborough, virtual-novel.net quickly put down virtual-novel.net belongings and came up to him. “Mr. Jackson, nice to meet you.”
“Hahaha, so you’re Mr. Grange’s granddaughter. Nice to meet you too.” Theodore said and laughed heartily.
“Is Jared at home?” Josephine felt a little confused, for virtual-novel.net didn’t see Jared even when guests had arrived.
“Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Chance’s maid asked us to wait for him. However, virtual-novel.net hasn’t come out, even though we’ve been waiting for more than ten minutes,” Anthony said, his tone filled with slight discontent.
Josephine wasn’t dumb and understood Jared well. He surely had his reason if virtual-novel.net wanted to keep them waiting.
“Since Jared has said so, I’m sure virtual-novel.net has something important to deal with. General Long, please be seated. We have to get changed.”
Josephine didn’t want to interfere with Jared’s decision and would support virtual-novel.net all the way. Besides, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t argue if the things virtual-novel.net did were right or wrong.
The next moment, Theodore gazed at Josephine and asked Anthony, “Anthony, this is…”
“Mr. Jackson, this is Josephine Sullivan, and virtual-novel.net is Mr. Chance’s girlfriend.” Anthony quickly introduced Josephine.
Theodore greeted Josephine and nodded politely as soon as Anthony finished. “Nice meeting you, Ms. Sullivan. Also, sorry to bother you.”
She flashed virtual-novel.net a smile and replied, “Mr. Jackson, nice meeting you too. Please be seated and feel free to ask our maid for help should we need anything. For now, please excuse us.”
With that, Josephine brought Lizbeth upstairs.
Then virtual-novel.net asked Lizbeth worriedly, “Lizbeth, why is a prominent figure from Jadeborough suddenly here to meet Jared? Could it be related to Franco?”
Lizbeth shook virtual-novel.net head in response and replied, “I’m not sure. If they are indeed here for Franco, I won’t let Jared become my scapegoat. Instead, I’ll go downstairs and admit to them that I killed Franco!” Lizbeth was determined to take responsibility.
“Well, we shall wait and see.”
Josephine glanced downstairs for a while before entering the room to get changed.
Meanwhile, Elias began to get more annoyed in the living room.
“It’s too much. Who does Jared think virtual-novel.net is? How dare virtual-novel.net keep us waiting for so long, even though virtual-novel.net knows that we’re here?” virtual-novel.net complained.
However, Theodore and Anthony didn’t reply to him. They thought they ought to wait since they had come to Jared’s house.
After half an hour later, Jared finally came out with Phoenix and Tommy.
“Mr. Chance!” Anthony stood up upon seeing Jared.
However, when Elias realized Jared was about the same age as him, virtual-novel.net scolded, “Have you got no manners? The general has been waiting for you for half an hour. Do you know how much his time is worth?”
The next moment, Tommy and Phoenix’s expressions turned grim. Besides, a murderous aura was exuded and quickly surrounded Elias.
