The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 511

Megan showed up at her office bright and early the next morning. Everyone was stunned—was the boss really the first to arrive today?

Not only that, but Megan greeted everyone with a bright smile. Even when she came across someone who was late, she simply smiled and said, "It's fine."

When Jeanne saw Megan, she couldn't help but wonder if Megan had lost her mind. After all, the wounds on her face still hadn't fully healed.

"Megan, what's going on with you? Why do you seem so excited?"

Jeanne couldn't shake the memory of how Megan had given her a thorough scolding just yesterday. This wasn't normal at all.

Megan grabbed Jeanne's hand with a grin and said, "Excited? Do I seem that way? Haha, so you noticed! Well, yes, I'm excited and so happy too! Jeanne, we're the best of friends—how could I keep my happiness from you?"

Her overly friendly demeanor left Jeanne feeling more than a little out of place.

Best of friends?

Yesterday, Megan was spitting insults, calling Jeanne nothing more than a dog, and today, she was suddenly her "best friend"? Well, that kind of friendship seemed a bit… cheap.

"Y-Yeah, of course, we're the best of friends… So, what's going on? Did something good happen?" Jeanne asked cautiously.

Megan burst into laughter, even going so far as to close the door behind her. She then spoke in a hushed tone, "Jeanne, I'm about to get my hands on the Spirit of Life Serum. Now, tell me, isn't that something to be excited about?"

"How does Mr. Norberg have the Spirit of Life Serum? Didn't you say before that he couldn't get it either, so he couldn't give it to you for the time being?"

The Spirit of Life Serum was such a treasure that no one who possessed it would ever consider it too much. Even if Owen had some, it was unlikely he had a lot. Yet now, he was willing to send one to Megan. Clearly, she held a special place in his heart.

Megan smiled and said, "Jeanne, I don't think I need to explain my place in Owen's heart—you can see it for yourself, after all. But the most important thing, which you don't know, is that Owen sending me the Spirit of Life Serum means he's already taken control of the situation.

"Myth Group, I'd say, is now firmly under Owen's command. That's why I'm so excited! Owen's family background was already extraordinary, and now, with the added power of Myth Group and the Spirit of Life Serum, his future is limitless.

"As for Nolan? He might look impressive, but in reality, he's still a complete nobody!"
