The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 454

Megan snickered with her hand over her mouth and said, "You can beat him all you want but just make sure he doesn't die, okay? He's still my husband, after all, so at least leave him a way out."

At first, everyone thought Megan and Nolan shared an inseparable bond, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Meanwhile, Nolan had already captured the attention of everyone in the village. One by one, the big shots had arrived for the Greene family reunion. Even though Ben, and even Hoover, went to welcome them, they hadn't even managed to bring the guests over to the stage.

Instead, all of them had gravitated toward Nolan. Some sat, others stood beside him. If that wasn't surprising, then nothing in the world was.

At that moment, the ones most on edge were undoubtedly Tyler and Sharon. Both of them weren't just uneasy—they were practically drowning in guilt and fear.

"Tyler, what's going on? Why are all these big names flocking to Nolan? Could it be that they're really here to support him?" Sharon asked worriedly.

Tyler's face darkened as he clenched his teeth. "Impossible! He's just a useless ex-con. There's no way he knows so many influential people. It's probably a coincidence—it just has to be!"

A coincidence? Looking at how these powerful figures treated Nolan with such respect, it was hard to believe it was a mere coincidence. In fact, it was abundantly clear that they were there to pay their respects to Nolan.

"Tyler, I have a bad feeling about this. Nolan has shown himself to be ruthless and vengeful, determined to settle scores with everyone, and we didn't take him seriously. But now, it looks like he's come prepared. I really don't feel good about this. I think we should leave."

Wayne, however, was completely stunned. He never could have imagined that Nolan had such influence. Normally, he would have been pleased with his son's success, but today, he couldn't bring himself to feel happy. And this was because Ben, Stefan, and Harold were all sporting grim expressions.

"Uncle Harold, Mr. Stutton, Mr. Gallant, I have no idea how Nolan knew these big shots, but don't worry. He definitely won't cause any trouble."

Hoover simply smiled faintly. "Uncle Wayne, are you sure Nolan listens to you? Because I'm not so sure about that. From what I can see, Nolan doesn't seem to care about who he crosses. What I'm trying to say is that Nolan's arrogance might bring him serious trouble. If he really thinks he can push us or the villagers around, well… He's in for a rude awakening."

Wayne's expression immediately changed. He quickly said, "He wouldn't dare—absolutely not! I'll make sure that ungrateful brat of mine comes over right now to apologize to all of you!"
