Her face lit up with a triumphant smirk.
“I’m going to tell Grandpa right now.
Let’s see if you can continue your schemes with that bitch Hannah.
”
As Jenny spun on her heel to leave, Merlin remainedposed, casually lifting his coffee cup for a slow sip.
At that moment, the servants bustling in the living room swiftly encircled Jenny, blocking her exit.
Frustrated and turning back to face Merlin, she demanded, “What is this? Do you think they can stop me?”
Merlin, still seated, simply pped his hands.
Immediately, seven uniformed bodyguards entered the room.
“Merlin! I’m your sister.
You wouldn’t dare let them touch me,” Jenny challenged, her voiceced with desperation.
Merlin’s response was icy.
“Do you think I value family ties? Go ahead, tell Grandpa.
I’d like to see if you can even reach him.
”
Faced with the imposing line of bodyguards, Jenny’s resolve wavered.
“Merlin, have you lost your mind? If youy a finger on me, Grandpa will never forgive you.
”
“Oh? Really?” Merlin’s eyes glinted with a frosty amusement as hemanded, “Lock up Jenny.
She is not to be released without my direct order.
Anyone who defies this will be seen as opposing me.
”
The already silent living room fell into a deeper hush at his words.
Jenny’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
“How dare you confine me in my own home? You’re infringing on my freedom, Merlin.
Tell them to let me go!”
Merlin, not even ncing in Jenny’s direction, simply waved his hand dismissively.
Amidst her protests, Jenny was swiftly escorted out by the guards.
Meanwhile, the battle between Brodie and the Mitchell Group was reaching a crescendo.
Desperate, Ryleigh sought assistance from Melina.
“Melina, please, I need your help.
You’re the only one who can assist me and the Hopkins family now.
I have no way to reach Bryson, and Brodie controls everything.
”
Unbeknownst to Ryleigh, Melina was dealing with her own precarious situation.
Yet, seeing an opportunity in Ryleigh’s desperation, Melina considered a risky proposition.
“There might be a way to help you, but it’s fraught with danger.
It could ultimately implicate you.
”
Anxious and eager, Ryleigh quickly responded, “Tell me.
Whatever it is, I’U do it.
”
As Ryleigh seemed poised to ept the proposal, Melina leaned in and whispered, “This is the only option I have.
It’s your choice whether to take it or not.
”
Ryleigh paused, Melina’s words resonating in her mind, causing a moment of hesitation.
Sensing this, Melina pressed on, “I’ve heard the Hopkins Group’s financial chains are close to breaking.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
If you can navigate this crisis, the Glyn Group is willing to lend support.
”
A flicker of resolve passed through Ryleigh’s eyes.
“You’re right.
If I don’t act, I’ll always be under his thumb.
”
After Ryleigh departed, Melina turned to her associate.
“If she pulls this off, find a chance to leak evidence implicating her.
”
