Chapter 638: Are They Asking You to Speak for Lana?
After leaving the hospital, Zane met up with Albi to see Finnley. They had arranged to meet at a coffee
shop in West City. It had been a while since theyst saw each other.
When Zane arrived, Finnley was already inside waiting for him. He stood up as soon as he saw Zane
and said, "You''re here."
Zane nodded and gestured for him to sit down. He pulled out the chair opposite Finnley and sat down.
Finnley looked over at Albi who was standing nearby and asked, "Would you like to join us too?"
Albi shook his head and bowed slightly towards Finnley before saying, "No thanks, I''ll go over there."
He then nced at Zane before walking away to another table.
After Albi left, Finnley called the waiter over to help order coffee for Zane. Then they got into business
talk.
"The Ellis family is having some trouble with funding for the West City project. Did you have any ns
in mind?" asked Finnley.
Zane didn''t deny it and replied calmly, "There are many people eyeing this project so it will take some
effort if we want to secure it."
Finnely continued,"I''ve been asking around these past few days and heard that Manches City also has
interest but their funds are toorge so nothing has been confirmed yet. If someone decides to use
connections behind closed doors then even if we have money we might not be able get this project."
Zane furrowed his brows slightly after hearing what Finney said,"Where did you hear about this?"
Finnely answered truthfully,"I asked my dad''s old friends who work in that area of business so there
must be some truth behind it."
Zane knew that everything Finney just said was true because getting this project would mean huge
profitspared with investment returns which made everyone interested in securing it.
After a moment of silence, Zan spoke softly,"I''ll ask someone else on my end about this matter. If I find
anything out, I''ll let you know."
Finney nodded before asking again,"If we do manage get our hands on this project, would we split the
investment costs evenly?"
The two continued discussing their n of action until they finished their coffee together."Do you have
enough funds to work with?" Finnley asked. "If there''s too much, it might take some time to gather
everything together and we won''t be able to get it all at once."
Zane paused for a few seconds before responding, "You put in four and I''ll put in six."
Finnley raised her eyebrows at Zane''s response. "I put in four and you put in six?" she repeated.
Zane nodded his head. "Is there a problem?"
Finnley shook her head. "No problem, let''s discuss the details when everything is confirmed on your
end."
Zane made a noise of agreement before the two of them continued discussing more details about their
project.
Time always seemed to fly by quickly during these kinds of conversations, and before they knew it, it
was already five o''clock.
After checking the time, Zane turned back towards Finnley. "That should be enough for now; I''ll contact
you when I have any updates."
"Okay," Finnley replied.
After a brief moment of silence, Finnley looked up at Zane again and asked him if Vincent had
contacted him yet.
Upon hearing this question from Finnely, Zane lifted his gaze towards her curiously.
Clearing her throat lightly first, Finnely continued speaking: "Uncle Song has been sicktely; he seems
pretty serious about wanting to see Lana again so I thought Vincent might''ve contacted you."
Due to Lana''s situation recently causing tensions between both Griffiths family and Ellis family
members alike; Javon still harbored some resentment towards the Ellis family for not lending any help
earlier on despite being close acquaintances with them beforehand.
However after calming down somewhatter on though he realized that even if the Ellis family were
standing behind them right now against their enemies - if that was what they wanted - then there would
be no pressure whatsoever since they could easily handle anything thrown their way without breaking a
sweat anyway given how powerful they were as an organization themselves!
"He''s sick?" Zane asked incredulously after hearing this news from Finney
C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
"Yeah," Finney nodded solemnly while adding: "It''s been going on for several days now… I went over to
visit him once already."
"I met with Vincentst week," said Zanem recalling their conversation where he didn''t seem too
worried about Uncle Song''s condition at all then either! It was strange how things could change so
quickly like this…
"Did theye see you…to plead Lana''s case?" Finney wondered aloud as she tried piecing together
what happened here exactly...
"No," replied Zanem shaking his head slowly but firmly: "They came over just apologize instead."
Finney didn''t say anything else after hearing this reply from him because deep down inside she knew
that Javon owed an apology too – especially considering how much trouble he caused everyone
involved due solely out of jealousy or spitefulness perhaps?
Even though things had calmed down somewhat since then – mostly thanksrgely due only because
nobody really wanted another incident like that happening ever again anytime soon! But still... the
damage had been done already unfortunately!
"If Vincent contacts me," suggested Finney tentatively: "Wouldn''t it be better if we let Uncle Song meet
with Lana?"
But whether or not such an idea would actually work out well remained uncertain until further notice...
Zane said in a low voice, "I don''t have the power to control what happens over there. They can see
Lana as long as the prison allows it."
It was clear that Zane had the ability to bankrupt and ruin the Griffiths family overnight, but he didn''t
have control over anything else.
Finnley understood that if Zane wanted to forbid visits, then the Griffiths family wouldn''t be able to see
Lana.
But now that Zane had said this, there was definitely a chance for them to visit her.
Since Lana went in, no one from the Griffiths family dared to visit her easily. One reason was because
they were afraid that Zane would prevent them from seeing her. The other reason was because they
were afraid their visit would only make Zane angrier at Lana.
That''s why they hadn''t visited until now. But with Javon sick and missing Lana, they couldn''t resist any
longer since she was like a precious gem in their hands.
"How about we grab dinner together? I''ll invite Vincent too," Finnley suggested after leaving the coffee
shop and looking at Zane.
Zane nced at his watch before politely declining, "I have other things to do today. Maybe another
time."
Finnley didn''t insist and replied calmly, "Sure thing. We''ll n it for another day then."
Zane nodded before bidding farewell and heading straight back into city center without any further
conversation or exnation of where he needed Albi (his driver) to take him next.
Albi asked curiously when they arrived in city center: "Where are you headed now Mr. Lawrence?"
It wasn''t likely for him going back into work at this hour of night so Albi wondered what his boss''s next
move would be?
After pausing for a few seconds, Zanereplied,"Did you deliver everything I asked you earlier?"
"Yes sir, I did." Albi confirmed promptly."Do you need me anymore tonight?"
"No thanks. You can drive yourself home after dropping off your car hereter."Zanesaid firmly with an
air of finality which made it clear he wanted some alone time tonight without anyone around him except
Yanis who owned an art studio nearby where he parked his car outside while waiting patiently inside
observing Yanis serving customers behindthe bar counter throughthe window sspane separating
them both .
He watched Yanis interact with clients while sitting inside his car without disturbing him until finally
decidingto step outand approachhim oncehe finished talkingwiththem all . After seeing the group of
people off, Yanis walked his guest to the door. Just as he was about to turn back inside, he caught
sight of a familiar car out of the corner of his eye. He hesitated for a moment before turning around and
walking towards it.
