As I was about to open the driver''s side door, Jack stopped me and gestured with his chin. "You sit in the passenger seat. I''ll drive."


    "Alright, thank you, Jack."


    I nced at him gratefully and did not refuse.


    I was too concerned about my grandmother''s safety. Driving while distracted would be too dangerous.


    On the way to the abandoned factory, I first sent a message to Jane, informing her that I wouldn''t be able to make it and that she should make her own decision. Then I called Frank.


    However, the phone rang until a mechanical female voice answered, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavable. Please try againter..."


    I felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety. I was even afraid that something might have happened to Frank as well.


    Jack, with both hands on the steering wheel, nced at me with a gentle expression and asked, "Did you call Frank? Did he not answer?"


    "Yeah." I nodded absently.


    Jack understood. "Don''t worry too much. With the patent infringement issue at the Smith Group, he''s probably very busy. It''s normal if he didn''t hear the call," The more he said this, the more unsettled I felt.


    But there was nothing more I could do at the moment, so I decided to go to the outskirts of the city first and see who was on the other end of the call.


    On a whim, I dialed the Shaw family''s number.


    Bethany answered, "Hello, who''s this?"


    "Did you or someone you know abduct my grandmother?"


    I could only think of them at the moment.


    Bethany quickly recognized my voice and smiled. "Charlotte, you should provide evidence for your ims."


    "You should be clear in your conscience!" I took a deep breath and said coldly, "If this is about the Shaw family''s wealth, if anything happens to my grandmother, you won''t get a penny!" With that, I hung up the phone.


    I was now fairly certain that the Shaw family was involved in this.


    Bethany listened to the dial tone after the call ended, her face showing anger, but then concern. She looked at Simone, who was sitting beside her.


    "Mom, are you really sure this will go smoothly?"This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Don''t worry."


    Simone tilted her chin with a look of absolute certainty in her eyes. "What belongs to the Shaw family will only be yours. Others shouldn''t even think about it."


    Bethany breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "How did you find someone who could stealthily take that olddy from the nursing home? Why didn''t you use this method earlier?"


    If it had been used earlier, she wouldn''t have been so thoroughly outdone by Charlotte atst night''s


    banquet.


    She couldn''t stand seeing that despicable woman so triumphant!


    And being recognized as Yasmin''s goddaughter was just adding insult to injury!


    Simone looked at her and smiled. "Because he just returned to the countryst night.


    "From abroad?"


    "That''s one way to put it."


    Simone affectionately patted her head. "One day, I''ll take you to meet him."


    "Why do I need to meet him?" Bethany looked puzzled "He''s just a gangster who gets paid for his services. There''s no need for me to have any dealings with him."


    As a daughter of the Shaw family, she saw no need to associate with gangsters.


    Seeing her disdain, Simone paused, then carefully said, "In the future, we may need to rely on him for the Shaw family''s matters. It wouldn''t hurt to meet him."


    "Alright then," Bethany responded impatiently. She then spoke with a hint of malice, "Are you really sure about this? If Frank finds out, he''ll act immediately." "This time, he won''t have a chance to intervene!"
