Someone had come out to welcome Jayson.
Stanley had just returned from overseas. Lately, he had been swamped with work and barely spent
time in Croinia.
He had already heard about the news involving Cecilia. He had only just landed when he learned that she had been taken into custody.
And now, Jayson showed up out of the blue.
As Jayson stepped in through the foyer, Stanley sized him up carefully. He couldn’t deny that Jayson had a commanding presence and flawless looks.
He knew that Cecilia had a thing for Jayson, but unfortunately, she wasn’t remotely equipped to handle someone like him.
“Please, Mr. Larkin, have a seat.” Stanley had someone make coffee.
Jayson nodded and sat down.
But no sooner had he settled than Samson arrived.
Samson’s expression darkened when he saw Jayson already there. He couldn’t believe that Jayson actually came straight to see Stanley.
That was… sneaky.
Yeager Group was taking a hit. Without Jayson’s interference, it would never have faced such a public backlash.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?” Stanley glanced at Samson, motioning
for him to sit.
Samson tugged at his lip. “Not exactly, but I wonder if you have something important to discuss, Mr.
Larkin.”
Jayson lifted his cup and took a light sniff of the coffee. “I hope we can be upfront with each other. I’m actually here about Ms. Pryce,”
At that, a flash of sharpness crossed Stanley’s eyes. He could already sense that this wasn’t going to be simple.
Jayson set the cup down. His voice was steady and measured as he said, “You may recall I mentioned before how Ms. Pryce’s actions had affected me and my wife. I had thought some things could end there, but Ms. Pryce did something illegal to my wife, causing her to have a miscarriage and making

us lose our first child.”
Stanley’s gaze instantly hardened. “Really?”
“You shouldn’t be asking me that. You should’ve heard about what kind of person Ms. Pryce is, right?
Jayson offered no explanation, only countered with a question.
Stanley’s expression darkened further. He knew bits and pieces.
After his divorce years ago, both children stayed with Kristen. He was too busy to care for or guide them properly. In a whole year, he might see them no more than twice–so few that he could count
the visits on one hand.
And now, it had escalated to this.
Stanley pressed his lips together.
Jayson was surprisingly blunt, putting everything out in the open.
He knew a bit about Stanley. His methods could be ruthless, but his conduct was clean. Rather than beating around the bush, it was better to be upfront. Discover more novels at.net
Stanley studied him. A smart man didn’t need everything spelled out. Cecilia’s scandal was already public, and now it threatened to drag him into the fallout. Yeager Group was at risk too. Had it not been for Jayson, Samson would have buried this quietly and handled it without leaving a trace.
Now,
it wasn’t just about Yeager Group or Cecilia. It was about him as well.
So Jayson was here to negotiate. He was here to make Stanley decide.
“What exactly is it you want, Mr. Larkin? Why don’t you spell it out for me?” Stanley asked, his voice dropping
Jayson’s expression remained detached. His tone was calm, yet left no room for negotiation. “This could be buried quietly, of course. But Ms. Pryce’s actions were unacceptable. Still, she is your daughter. To spoil a child is to harm them. I propose three years in a rehabilitation facility. After that, she leaves Croinia and never returns. What do you think?”
Samson’s eyes flashed with cold fury. “Jayson, with her status, you want her three years in rehab?”
That was practically killing her!
