Chapter 370


    Ronan chuckled, shedding the chilly aura of his daytime persona, Bet. "No need to worry. He won''t


    give up that easily. He''s been itching to make a move. Think about it, a big juicy steak almost within


    reach and then snatched away? He won''t rest until he''s had a bite."


    "That''s for sure!" Iughed, all too familiar with the tenacity of the Dawsons.


    Ronan went on, analyzing the situation for me, "Especially with the current situation, as soon as he


    sets foot back in Goldenvale Town, he''ll be bombarded with troubles. With all these pressures bearing


    down, he''ll be thinking it''s do or die! And let''s not forget, he''s got a n B up his sleeve!"


    Of course, I knew Ronan was talking about Irving.


    "You''re right, he''s still got that ace, Irving!" I couldn''t help but snicker, "Poor Irving, he''s about to get hit


    with some bad luck too!"


    "Maybe he''ll try to strike a deal with me." Ronan seemed to have Jan''s next moves down to a


    science. He continued, "In his mind, having Irving equates to owning a factory. That''s a bargaining chip


    for him, and even without the mess with Hazel, he''d be desperate to get back to the city to scheme with


    Irving!"


    I said with confidence, "Then I''ll swoop in and take Irving off the board in one fell swoop. Nobody''s


    getting out of this free."


    I might have sounded a bit too brash, as Ronan looked at me with a hint of admiration.


    My heart skipped a beat, wondering if I had been a tad too bold.

    "By the way, did Logan tell you? Irving''s likely the mastermind behind Jta''s car ident. It could''ve


    been him who orchestrated it." I quickly changed the subject to avoid my embarrassment.


    "He did! We''re digging into the witness statements from back then!" Ronan didn''t deny it.


    "Ronan, can I ask you something?" I nced at him, gathering my courage.


    He looked at me and shrugged. "Of course!" he imed, feigning indifference, but his eyes were filled


    with anticipation.


    "Why are you guys helping us?" I asked, "I mean, this is all our private mess!" The real question I was


    dancing around was, ''Is it because of me?'' ''Am I special, and that''s why you''re helping?''


    The anticipation in his eyes flickered and vanished - I hadn''t broached the subject he was anticipating.


    "How to say..." he pondered for a moment. "There are many things, all intertwined, leading to


    unexpected clues. We don''t let anything connected slip by. Our primary goal is safety!"


    He spoke thest word with gravity, making me feel a strange warmth in my heart.


    Even though I wasn''t his special case, I was still someone he wasmitted to protecting.


    "Oh... right, there''s also Gemma back at my ce. She''s already received Jan''s orders and might


    make a move on my mom. Jan wants to know my dad''s exact whereabouts every day. Gemma''s


    also suspecting that my dad isn''t just heading to VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals every day."


    Ronan stopped in his tracks and raised an eyebrow. "How did you find out?"


    "Hannah and I discovered itst night."


    I ryed to Ronan the secret conversation between Jan and Gemma that we had overheard.


    Ronan asked, "What''s your take on it?"


    "Rest assured," Ronan told me. "Your ce is under surveince; you can keep tabs on Gemma''s


    every move!"


    Ronan walked down the steps, standing before me. "Yes, after you leftst time, for safety''s sake, I


    took the opportunity during an electrical check to install them." New chаpter av?ble on


    I quickly followed him down, standing face-to-face. "Why didn''t you tell me sooner?"


    I nodded, yet added, "But she''s useful for now. I have a feeling Jan won''t fall for it that easily."


    Ronan, confident as ever, assured me, "Don''t worry, we''ve got an ace in the hole back at your father''s


    ce!"
