Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 361 Every Man For Himself (Part Three)

"Let's meet in half an hour. You know where." A calm and low voice said on the phone.

Jennifer raised her eyebrows, smiled arrogantly, and replied, "See you."

Jennifer started the car as soon as she hung up and drove straight to a used car studio - where they were going to meet. It was only less than 20 kilometers away... She had only been parked at the studio for a while when a car pulled over beside hers with its window lowered.

The car was parked so near Jennifer's - it was hard to tell if it was coincidental or on purpose. Jennifer couldn't see who was driving the car but she didn't care. She lowered her window and raised her eyebrows, "It's always wise to be careful but if you're willing to go that far then things might not work out for you."

"Ha!" The other person chuckled, "One can't be too careful in situations like this." The man paused for a second before continuing, "Can I trust what you told me before?"

Jennifer smiled, "If you didn't trust me, you wouldn't be here. Am I right, Mr. Yan?"

Justin smirked, "Jennifer, this is different. How are you so sure that I trust you?"

"Because," Jennifer turned to face Justin, "I don't care what happened that year,"

Jennifer said calmly, sure of herself. She glanced at Justin's hand holding a cigarette and at that moment, flicking cigarette ash onto the floor, "Of course, I'm not doing this for free."

"If this is fixable, we will not object to Edgar entering the State Parliament." Justin said this conclusively before Jennifer could even say what she wanted as an exchange.

"No!" Jennifer's eyes flashed, "That's not the only thing I want."

Justin tilted his head, frowning, "What else do you want?"

"I want... I want Molly to disappear." She finished, her eyes casting an evil gleam.

"Molly?" Justin hesitated, pausing, before asking, "Why do I have to do this for you? You can do that all by yourself."

Jennifer burst out laughing - it sounded so wicked. "How can I kill people by myself? Edgar doesn't want me to..."

"Ha!" Justin could only laugh. He could see right through Jennifer - he could tell what she really wanted. But that didn't matter because in a war like this, death was bound to happen. Also, even if they let Molly free, Edgar still wouldn't join their party either. It didn't matter but if Jennifer did it, a lot of things would change. "Okay, you got it, But Jennifer, I hope you won't disappoint me."

Jennifer didn't respond to Justin; instead, she sat up straight and said coldly, "I'll fax the detailed plan later." As soon as she finished speaking, she started her car and drove off.

"Mr. Yan, is Jennifer really going to help us?" Jona asked as he watched Jennifer's car speed away.

Justin flicked his cigarette out the window. "Don't underestimate how jealous women can get, especially the strong type of women. They're never going to let their man be even the slightest interested in women who they think aren't better than them," he said flatly.

Jona nodded despite not having an idea what Justin was talking about. "Mr. Yan, shall we go back now?" Jona confirmed.

"Go visit Rory first."

"Is it okay to visit him now?" Jona frowned and thought to himself, 'The forces in the City have been guarding the hotel where Rory lived. If we go there openly, I'm scared...'

"Yes, it's okay." Justin said, keeping his face emotionless. He skimmed through the plan that Jennifer had faxed over, "This has gone on way too long. We should settle this soon once and for all."

Jona didn't know what Jennifer's plan was until Justin told him but either way, he keeping to himself and staying silent. He promptly started the car and drove to the hotel where Rory was staying.

Justin asked Jona to stay in the car as he went inside the hotel. Justin didn't go back outside until two hours later. He didn't say what happened in those two hours but when he stepped out, he was smiling rather contentedly and wickedly.

The following day was the first cloudy after a consecutive bright and sunny days. The sun was being concealed by dark and gray clouds blocking whatever heat it was supposed to be emanating making the weather windy and cold.

When Becky woke up, she was still feeling dizzy, "Bri…" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

she muttered weakly. She started to worry when no one was answering her. The silence and strange smell made her anxious. She tried to sit up slowly and tried to call for Brian again, "Bri?"

Still no answer, only the quiet air. After a while, Becky felt her heart drop as if there was something missing. She gripped her quilt tighter around her, her lips thinning, and her nose twitching.

Brian hadn't been home since last night. She had been so anxious wondering if Brian was out with Molly. She couldn't help but think about it but she didn't want to go and ask Brian about it because she didn't want to come off as whiny to Brian.

Becky tightened her grip to her quilt, falling down her bed hoping he would come back to see her but...

At that exact moment, the door opened. Becky's face lit up, "Bri!"

"Miss Yan, it's good that you're awake now!" Yoyo came in carrying a medical tray. She put the tray on her bedside table, took out a thermometer and leaned over to Becky to take her temperature. Becky's temperate shot up last night when she was in a coma and she didn't get better until she took liquid infusion. "Miss Yan, I'm just going to take your temperature," Yoyo said politely.

As Yoyo was leaning over to Becky, Becky pushed her hand away, "Yoyo, where am I right now?"

"You're in the hospital," Yoyo answered. "You fell off the stairs last night and the doctors said you might have a minor concussion so Mr. Brian Long sent you here."

"Where is he?" Becky asked, curious.
