Chapter 724 Hidden Motives
In the living room of the Lane family home.
The patriarch of the Lane family, Liam Lane, was discussing matters with his family and trusted subordinates.
His tactician, Wayne Croaker, spoke up in a gentle tone, "Sir, Penny Smith and Nathan Cross of Cross Group have arrived in
Cledondale. They want to meet with you tomorrow morning at Springfield to talk about the business cooperation contract."
Liam had been looking forward to this cooperation with Cross Group.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
If everything went smoothly and the Lane family was put in charge of the sales of the liver cancer vine in Northania, then the
immense profit that came from that would be theirs.
Before Liam could get too worked up about the arrival of Nathan and Penny, his other right-hand man, Phillip Lane, snorted.
"Cooperation? More like they''reing here to die!"
Wayne was the brains while Phillip was the brawns. Together, they were Liam''s most trusted men.
Phillip''s words stunned everyone.
Furrowing his brows, Liam asked, "Phillip, what do you mean by that? The Crosses are here on behalf of Cross Group to discuss
a business deal with us. It''s a winwin situation for both sides if this deal goes through. Why would you say they''reing here to
die?"
There was a solemn look on Phillip''s face when he replied, "Sir, | just received news that Jonathan is dead. Nathan Cross killed
him.
Jonathan Lane was one of Liam''s many sons. He was a notorious yboy and was always stirring up trouble, something that
Liam was deeply unsatisfied with.
Despite that, he was still Liam''s son. The younger man had been missing for several days now and he had sent men out to look
for news.
He had not expected to hear that his son was dead, and at the hands of Nathan.
Everyone was startled at this piece of news. Liam leaped to his feet as fury shed in his eyes. "Phillip, are you sure? My son
has no grievances with them; why would Cross kill him?"
"Rumors have it that he took an interest in Penny Smith and tried to sleep with her. That pissed off Cross and so he killed him.
| stumbled upon this information identally, but I''m sure that it''s true."
Liam''s expression hardened and he growled, "Nathan Cross, Penny Smith, you killed my son yet you still dare toe to
Cledondale? I''ll ensure that you never leave this ce alive!"
The next day.
At Springfield, the most famous restaurant in Cledondale.
Nathan, Penny, Kylie and a few other executives of Cross Group arrived at the restaurant right on time.
To their surprise, the restaurant waspletely empty. When asked why, the restaurant manager told them the Lane family had
booked the entire restaurant for today so they were not receiving any customers.

face. "Although it seems like such a
