Chapter 51


    Catherine agreed, nodding at my statement, "The mad dog must have gotten a whiff of something!"


    I clenched my fists tightly, ring at Jan on the mobile surveince screen, gnashing my teeth in


    anger, "He''s targeting the Wilburn family, not satisfied with what he''s reaped from us. That''s the real


    reason he stopped my medication— the audacity."


    "We need to n our next move. I''ve seen the nanny he''s arranged, a middle-aged woman, not young!


    I''ve asked Ronan to dig into her background, but I didn''t dare hint anything to Galen. Once we know


    more about her, we''ll figure out a way to clue Galen in. You should think about how to break it to him,"


    Catherine advised.


    Before we could discuss further, I saw Jan leave the living room and head upstairs.


    Catherine and I exchanged a nce, shut off the mobile, and pretended to engage in a heated


    conversation—I was lying on the bed while Catherine leaned against the couch.


    It took a while before Jan knocked and entered, clearly having eavesdropped on our chat. He didn''t


    want us to spend too much time alone.


    After lunch, Catherine was called away by a work call.


    As soon as Catherine left, I retreated to my room, tired but relieved, to rest and regain my strength—my


    main priority.


    I knew I was safe, at the very least until the city nning of Silverdale City was finalized. He would


    keep me alive.


    If Catherine''s information was urate, then our family would be the biggest beneficiary, since our old


    house was thergest and the yard the most distinctive. Thepensation would be extremely


    attractive. If I died, thepensation would have nothing to do with him!


    No wonder Jan suddenly stopped my medication when I was on the brink of death.


    Sure enough, a weekter, Jan finally took the time to apany me to the hospital. The

    Clearly the report was clearly faked by Jan, who had the doctor prescribe me medication


    nheless.


    Jan hugged me tightly, beaming, nearly asking for a reward. He shamelessly proimed that we


    could arrange the trip back to Silverdale City in a couple of days.


    For safety reasons, I had Catherine take the medicine to Dr. Edmond for examination the next day. The


    medicine had no issues and was indeed beneficial for my recovery, especially whenbined with Dr.


    Edmond''s antidote.


    I didn''t know whether to feel relieved or saddened. This time, I was genuinely convalescing.


    On Tuesday, I made a surprise visit to thepany for an inspection.


    Things had changed so much that if it weren''t for ra at the front desk, I wouldn''t have been able to


    enter my ownpany, let alone review thepany''s finances.


    Throughout thepany, the old-timers who''d been grinding alongside me, were dwindling to a


    handful.


    Thepany was now run by the Dawsons, the high-level managers were all rtives of theirs. The


    General Manager was Jesper Dawson, the only one who attended a non-prestigious university, and


    Jan''s sister, Jessica Dawson was in charge of finances.


    The situation was beyond what I had expected. I was prepared for Jan to make his moves after


    taking over, but I didn''t anticipate aplete reshuffling of the team. My confidants were all gone.


    It felt as if I had been transported to a strangend in an instant.


    After ra apanied me upstairs, the staff had already informed Jesper, who greeted me with a


    smile.


    "Aaliyah, why didn''t you tell us you wereing? I would have picked you up!" Jesper, dressed in a


    crisp suit, greeted me with a warm smile, his eyes hidden behind sses, subtly sweeping over ra


    who had apanied me.


    The Dawson men were all handsome. Jesper might not have been as attractive as his older brother


    Jan, but he had a distinctly refined demeanor.


    Back when I married Jan, Jesper was still in high school. His mediocre academic performance didn''t


    deter him from wanting to attend university. I ended up paying for him to attend a non-prestigious


    university, where he pursued a degree in economics and management.


    I never thought it woulde in handy.


    "I was bored at home, so I thought I''d drop by thepany," I replied, scanning the open-n office


    before asking Jesper, "Is Jan not in?"
