Chapter 266
The hitman’s words left the entire Sawyer family stunned.
A monster? All their men taken out? Marshall couldn’t wrap his head around it. “That’s impossible….
Before they could react, the hitman continued, voice filled with rage. “You told us she was just some ordinary girl! Because of your lies, we suffered huge losses. This isn’t over. The Sawyer family will pay for this!”
“Wait! Don’t hang up- But it was too late. Marshall stared at his phone, face pale.
‘Not only did they fail to kill Noelle now even the assassins are out for revenge!
They were completely screwed.
Meanwhile, Nicolas had tightened the estate’s security after receiving the ominous message from the Sawyers, anticipating a potential
attack.
But several days passed… and nothing happened.
Not even a shadow.
“Maybe your family suddenly grew a conscience?” Noelle offered, ever the optimist.
Nicolas snorted. “If the Sawyers suddenly found their conscience, it would be a miracle.”
“So what now?” she asked.
“Simple. Freeze all their assets. End of story.”
Back at the Sawyer estate, just as the family was still reeling from the assassin fiasco, the next disaster struck–Nicolas made his move.
In one swift, ruthless sweep, he exposed every shady detail the Sawyer family had buried over the years. Their entire fortune was seized, accounts frozen, assets confiscated.
The once–proud Sawyer family was left stunned, unable to e
even put up a fight. Just like that, they vanished from the business world.
Even after settling the score with the Sawyers, Nicolas didn’t slow down. He knew Noelle’s background was far more complicated than it seemed–and if he wanted to protect her, he needed more power.
It meant doing something he swore he never would: contacting the family of his late mother–the Jenkins family.
Before reaching out, Nicolas had played out every possible scenario in his mind. His grandfather, Rory Jenkins, had famously cut ties with Nicolas’s mother years ago, declaring her dead to him. The man never even attended her funeral.
Truthfully, Nicolas had no desire to reconnect. There was no affection between them. But with the shadow of Noelle’s secret organization looming, he needed stronger allies–and the Jenkins family was one of the most powerful families in existence.
So he made contact, bracing himself for rejection.
To his surprise the Jenkins family agreed to meet immediately–and quite enthusiastically at that
When Nicolas stepped into the massive Jenkins estate for the first time, he immediately felt the weight of their legacy The entire place was more palace than home–sprawling architecture, manicured grounds, even a private lake and surrounding forest that stretched for

This was Rory Jenkins, his grandfather..
You’re here,” Rory said calmly, sipping his coffee.
Nicolas took one look at him and gave his trademark smile, as if he were just visiting an old relative. “It’s been too long. Grandpa. I hope you’ll forgive me for not visiting sooner.
“Spare me the pleasantries. Rory said flatly, placing his cup down.
He gave Nicolas a long, appraising look–then gave a rare nod of approval. “As expected of my blood. Impressive.”
Nicolas returned the smile, eyes sharp but polite. “Well, good genes do help.”
Rory raised an eyebrow, “And a silver tongue. 100.
“I only speak from the heart”

“No need to flauer me, Rory said, cutting to the chase. I agreed to meet you because I have no intention of making things difficult fact, I’m prepared to give you the support you’re looking for.”
That gave Nicolas pause. His smile faltered ever so slightly. “So… you know why I’m here?”
“Don’t underestimate the Jenkins information network,” Rory replied with a smug smile. “I know exactly what you’ve been doing, who you’ve met, and everything you own. I’ve kept a close eye on you.”
Nicolas’s eyes darkened.
So he’s been watching me all these years… but did nothing while I was trampled by the Sawyers? No wonder my mother wanted nothing to do with this man.”
Still, for Noelles sake, Nicolas swallowed his anger and smiled coolly. “So, are you satisfied with what you’ve seen?”
“You’ve done well Rory nodded. “You took your mother’s 30% stake and turned it into an empire capable of devouring your father’s company. Even among the Jenkins heirs, few could match that.”
Nicolas smirked, but got straight to the point, “Then let’s not waste time. You know why I’m here. What’s your price? Whatever I

Rory gave a knowing smile, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. “Come out.”
Nicolas blinked, confused. He turned toward the source of the noise
And from behind a screen stepped a beautiful, poised woman with graceful curves and a knowing smile.

“Mr. Sawyer,” she said warmly. “Fancy seeing you again so soon.”

Nicolas’s gaze cooled. He looked from Angeline to his grandfather, lips curving into a faint, dangerous smile, “Grandpa, care to explain
Rory met his eyes, unbothered, and said with deliberate clarity,
