    Because of the trip, Jean had neglected his work for the past two days.


    He attended several consecutive meetings in the morning. In the afternoon, he processed arge stack


    of documents.


    Right before he left work, Frederic suddenly appeared in his office.


    He frowned when he saw the stack of documents on his son’s desk. “You’re not the only employee in


    thispany. You can delegate less urgent matters to your subordinates. Why must you do everything


    yourself?”


    Jean replied, “Everything here is urgent, including those that you were supposed to handle. When was


    thest time you came to the office?”


    Frederic was at a loss for a reply.


    every pre


    r since Wrenn


    He had rarely gone to thepany headquarters was hospitalized. Naturally, he had neglected his


    work for a long time as well.


    As soon as Jean appeared in his office this morning, Frederic’s secretary brought him the documents


    from Frederic’s office.


    Frederic pressed his lips together. “Send it back. I’ll deal with them myself. You shouldn’t overwork


    yourself in case you fall ill again. Your mom and I are worried about you.”


    I


    Jean remained impassive in the face of his father’s concern, though his tone of voice warmed up.


    “Okay. Anyway, why did youe and look for me today?”


    Frederic nodded and said, “Your mother was discharged earlier today. She doesn’t like staying in the


    hospital. Come home and have dinner with us tonight.”


    Jean did not decline the offer. He packed up his briefcase and followed Frederic back to his house.


    At the moment, only Wrenn was in the living room.


    Jean looked around. “Where are the others? Aren’t they home.


    Frederic replied, “No. We only invited you.”


    Jean frowned. He could guess the implication of today’s invitation.


    As expected, while dinner was being served, Wrenn said, “It’ll be the annual g tomorrow. Don’t


    forget what I told you to do. When the opportunity arises, introduce Kyra to everyone in thepany


    and all the journalists. I’ve already promised the Marks family you’ll do exactly that. If anything goes


    awry, you’ll sour the rtionship between the Beauvort and Marks families.”


    “Mm,” Jean/replied impassively.


    Wrenn was satisfied that her youngest son did not resist.


    After dinner, Jean yed two games of chess with his father before going home.


    Halfway back,n suddenly seemed serious. “Sire, I think someone is following us!” he said grimly.


    lan had noticed an MPV following them since they left Frederic’s house, but he thought it was only a


    coincidence.


    As time passed, his instincts told him the vehicle meant danger.


    Jean nced at the rearview mirror. A few secondster, he also thought there was something fishy


    about the vehicle behind them.


    “Ditch them,” he ordered.


    “Yes, Sire!”n nodded and floored the gas pedal.


    Whoosh! The car sped away like a loose arrow.


    lan was a skilled driver. The car wove in and out of traffic.


    However, the MPV behind them sped up as well.n could not shake them off.


    A few minutester,n noticed something else.


    More and more suspicious vehicles were gathered behind them, and they were gaining onto the Rolls-


    Royce.


    “Sire, they must have set up an ambush on our usual route!”n reported calmly.


    Even though they were in a dire situation, he showed no anxiety on his face.


    Jean narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Looks like they’vee prepared.” N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    “What should we do now, Sire?”n asked.


    “We can’t shake them off, and this ce is too deserted to call for help. Find somewhere to stop the


    car. Our men will handle the vehicles at the back.”


    Jean always had bodyguards following him in secret. They were all skilled drivers and fighters.


    lan looked at the rearview mirror. As expected, several cars had intercepted the MPV.


    He breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes, Sire.”


    Soon,n found a ce to stop the car.


    It was a secluded road without any pedestrians.


    After he stopped the car, four ck MPVs broke through the barricade, caught up to them, and


    surrounded the Rolls-Royce.


    At least a dozen burly men in ck clothes came out of the vehicles. Each of them wielded melee


    weapons.


    lan unfastened his seatbelt and said to Jean without turning his head around, “I’ll go and meet them.


    Wait in the car, Sire!”


    Jean nodded. “Go then.”
