Chapter 917
Jordan merely flashed a mysterious smile at them. Instead of answering them, he lit a cigarette and puffed away with his legs crossed.
Back when Cyrus was still around, he wouldn't have dared to do so even if he was given the chance to.
Seeing that Jordan refused to speak, Margot sneered and said, "What's there to be so secretive about? Isn't it just that the Big Four—Bernard Olsen, Eldric Shaw, Moses Draig, and Douglas Anderson—are also coming to Jorsproburgh?"
"H-How did you know?" Jordan sputtered, clearly surprised.
"Your audacity to show off in front of me with your lacking scheming skills! If Cyrus hadn't spared your life, you would've been dead by now. How dare you assume that you can make a move on me now!"
Just hearing Cyrus' name made Jordan shudder with deep and genuine fear. But soon, he regained his composure and retorted, "Margot, what are you talking about? Cyrus is gone. I bet he's already in the bellies of the fish in the sea. We all need to face reality.
"I'm part of the Sykes family, after all. I came today to tell you that if you agree to marry me along with Bella, I can still ask my grandfather for a favor."
"Dream on! Get out this instant!" Margot screamed.
"You're such a stubborn woman, aren't you? You just won't accept reality unless you get punched by it. Just give it a second thought.
"I've no idea why they're coming, but I'm positive that Innerzen Medical Center won't even survive the night. I'm just a meager individual with limited influence," Jordan said before leaving.
He wasn't exactly an evil person—he was just an opportunist without any principles. He would either play it safe by acting subservient or get carried away when things went well for him.
Despite Margot's tough façade, she began to grow anxious. With the Big Five arriving so soon, Innerzen Medical Center, along with Zoey and the others, were likely to be in grave danger.
Lighting a delicate cigarette, Bella handed it to Margot to help her recollect herself and said, "Margot, should we leave now?"
"That's right. Go pick up Alex from school. As soon as I confirm that the funds are transferred, we'll leave right away."
"Got it. I'll get on to it now."
Margot quickly texted Zoey about it as well, arranging to meet with her at 8:00 pm. They planned to sneak out through the back window and head straight to the international airport, leaving the country in her private jet.
Jordan hummed a tone as he walked down the stairs. Just as he got into his Bentley, he felt a knife against his neck.
In the backseat sat a strange woman with green hair. Her locks covered her eyes, making her features difficult to discern. But there was no doubt that she looked stunning.
Immediately producing two silver needles, Jordan prepared to attack.
"Don't embarrass yourself with your amateur Needle Dash skills in front of me," Seraphine said disdainfully.
"A-Are you from the medical community as well?"
"I'm an Olsen," Seraphine replied coldly.
"Ah, the Olsens…"
Even a young member of the Olsen family could easily overpower Jordan. He didn't dare resist and immediately begged for mercy.
"Ms. Olsen, please don't misunderstand. We're on the same side. Tonight, the Olsen family's patriarch is also staying at my residence."
Slightly stunned, Seraphine said, "I'm dealing with my own mission. You're not allowed to go near Margot and Bella. Stay away from them. This situation is under my watch now."
Jordan immediately concurred, "Alright, don't worry. I swear I won't set foot in the Foster Group again."
"Which kindergarten does her son attend?"
"Jorsproburgh International Kindergarten."
"Great. Now, get lost."
As soon as Seraphine got out of the car, she saw Bella driving away. She headed straight to Jorsproburgh International Kindergarten.
With her unregistered motorcycle, she didn't stop at any red lights. She easily overtook Bella's sports car.
Only when Bella arrived at the kindergarten did the teacher realize that Alex was missing.
