I couldn't help but laugh. Jack paused briefly before continuing, "If you don't want to marry Mr. Minogue, then you should try to catch Mr. Tyler or Mr. Grayson."
"Do you really think I listen to you?" 1 stopped laughing and tumed to Jack with a cold stare.
Jack pulled a pack of cigarettes from his bag lit one, and took a few patts before speaking "You need to listen to me whether you like it or not."
"Your grandmother's safety is in my hands. The Wley Corporation is struggling with cash flow issues, and 1 need you to get me a large sum of money immediately. Do you understand?" Jack then took out his phone and played a video for me. In the video, my grandmother lay in bed with her eyes open while a caregiver sat beside her, cracking sunflower seeds and
1. y. Just watch how I'll handle you." As my grandmother moaned again, the caregiver's voice grew louder.
"You old hag, all you do is moan all day. Ju
Jack turned off the video and looked up at me. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists. I wanted to slap him across the face, but I had to hold back
"She's your mother! Aren't you afraid of karma for treating her like this ?**
Jack chuckled. "Karma? Evelyn, just listen to me. If you get along well with Mr. Minogue, you won't regret it
"I'm not asking you to be his mistress, but his wife. All you need to do is marry him and give him a son within a year or two. After that, you can do whatever you want, and I won't bother you again." Jack's phone suddenly rang. He left me with the words, "Think about it, and strode away

After washing up, I returned to my room. As soon as I closed my eyes, Grandma's muffled sobs echoed in my mind. Gult washed over me. Why had I never thought to visit her since being reborn? When I was little, Grandma would hold me in her arms if I couldn't sleep, pat my back gently, and soothe me softly until 1 drifted off. I felt both guilty and resentful
I couldn't accept it. I was so angry and hated myself for not trying harder and for not growing up faster since being reborn, I couldn't sleep a wink, When I woke up the next day, still had no idea what to do. Tcouldn't ignore Grandma, and I couldn't possibly marry that old man. So what was I supposed to do?
My phone rang abruptly on the bedside table. It was Jack, and he had sent me a message with an address. Then another text came through.
"Mr. Minogue has invited you to a party tonight Here's the address. If you don't go, your grandma might not be in a hospital bed today"
"You bastard!" I shouted, clenching my fists as tears streamed down my face.
After a moment, I calmed down. I wasn't about to just obey him. The most important thing now was to keep Jack calm and figure out where Grandma was
Once Grandma was with me, he couldn't threaten me anymore. I took a deep breath, picked up my phone, and typed out a message carefully.
"I'll go, but you have to confirm that Grandma is okay. And you need to arrange for a new caregiver for her. If you don't, I'll be waiting to see The Wiley Corporation go bankrupt on the news?
