The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 559

Owen genuinely didn't know much about Nolan's background. However, he thought he had caught a glimpse of someone he knew in the video just now.

With this realization, he looked at Vernon and said, "Grandpa, please wait a moment. I think I might know who this person is."

After speaking, he immediately called Megan.

Meanwhile, inside Lense's villa, Megan couldn't even begin to describe how she felt. The place resembled nothing short of a living hell.

Everyone who had been captured was subjected to horrifyingly brutal treatment. Though their mouths were gagged, the pools of blood covering the floor were enough to make anyone sick to their stomach.

"Jeanne, Nolan has gone completely insane. We can't stay here and go down this path with him. We need to find a way to leave."

Leave? Jeanne smiled bitterly. Was leaving even an option anymore?

Nolan had specifically brought them along on this trip to Eastland—how could he possibly just let them leave so easily? Besides, they were the ones who had approached him in the first place. If it weren't for Megan flaunting the Spirit of Life Serum in front of him, none of this would have happened.

"Megan, do you really think we can leave?"

At this moment, Jeanne was filled with resentment toward Megan, but she didn't dare let it show. As long as this ordeal wasn't over yet, she wouldn't risk being labeled a traitor.

Nolan, sitting nearby, watched Megan's changing expressions as she hesitated to answer the call. After a long pause, he said calmly, "When I recorded the video earlier, I made sure to include you on purpose. So, this call—is from Owen, isn't it? Go ahead, answer it."

Megan's expression darkened. She glared at Nolan and said, "You did it on purpose? What are you trying to do? Do you want Owen to misunderstand our relationship? Are you trying to make him jealous and angry at me? Nolan, you're an absolute bastard!"

Nolan's expression darkened when he heard Megan's wild assumptions.

"You'd better shut your filthy mouth! Make him misunderstand? Megan, you must be out of your mind. I included you in the video so he'd call you, nothing more. I just want to see how much he actually values you. Answer it, or don't. If you're not going to, then forget it!"
