CHAPTER 158

Shaking his head, Mason then returned his attention to the document in his hand and the room fell

deadly silent.Out of the blue, Henry shouted, “We don’t even know if we can find these two people. I

should just take him on myself.”“Ha!” Mason snorted and he spoke in his deep voice, “Save it. With that

skill of yours, if the other party plays some dirty tricks, you might even end up dead.”Stroking his chin,

Henry nodded in agreement. “You’re right. If I’m gone, there’ll be no one else around in the Moss family

to cooperate with you.” Waving his hand to dismiss the idea, he continued, “The race with Barnsford

will take place in a week. I’ll have to find Night Shadow and Dark Shadow by then.”Watching Henry’s

back, a smile appeared on Mason’s face as he suddenly remembered the scenes back in Markovia

when both race cars arrived at the finishing line at the exact same time.—Meanwhile, Janet was

leisurely enjoying her holiday and had no idea that Henry was looking for her at all.After she got out of

the shower, her phone suddenly began vibrating and she saw that it was Dexter calling her. Thinking

that he had come to Sandfort for a break and wanted to ask her out for a gathering, she picked up the

call.As it turned out, he was calling for help in a panicky voice, “Boss, Tyler and I have been kidnapped

and are in a dungeon in Markovia, and the kidnapper wants to meet you.”While Janet stood there

dumbfounded, Dexter’s call ended.Just who the hell is endangering the lives of young lads just to meet

me? she wondered.However, there was no time to waste now. Staring at the night view outside the

window for a couple of seconds, she then made a call to Lee. “Prepare the aircraft. I’m taking off

immediately.”What happened so late at night? Lee was bewildered and wanted to ask her this question,

but he didn’t as he knew that there was no time for talk now. Therefore, he merely replied,

“Alright.”After a few seconds of consideration, Janet knocked on Jade’s door.Looking at her

granddaughter’s composed face sleepily, Jade asked, “What’s the matter, Janet?” Faking a yawn,

Janet replied sluggishly, “Grandma Jade, my friends came to Sandfort to look for me and they’re still at

the bus station, so I’m going over to pick them up now. Can you please tell this to Megan if she asks

about it?”Jade frowned with concern. “Janet, it can be dangerous as it’s so late now. Do you need the

driver to go with you?”“There’s no need for that,” she rejected, shaking her head. “I’m telling you this

now because I’ll be staying with my friends for the next couple of days. So, don’t worry about me.”More

importantly, she was worried that Emily would tell tales of how she was hooking up and staying out with Text © 2024 .

others to the Jacksons. Then, it would be another round of undesirable situations when she returned a

few days later.Still concerned, Jade reminded her, “Let me know when you’ve picked up your friend, or

else I’ll be worried.”Nodding, Janet assured, “I will. I’m going to pack a few things now. You should

return to bed.”Jade nodded and returned to her bedroom with nothing else to say.The moment the door

closed shut, Janet’s expression returned to its usual cold composure, a huge contrast to the gentle

expression she had on earlier.—On the aircraft, while Janet’s eyes were comfortably closed, Lee asked

tentatively, “What happened in Markovia?”Opening her eyes to a slit, she replied in a low tone, “The

rebels in Markovia are using Dexter and Tyler’s life as a bargaining chip and want to see me tonight no

matter what.”The look on Lee’s face changed tremendously and he cursed, “Damn it!”The rebels led by

Damien Silva previously belonged to her master’s organization. However, ever since Janet returned

home, Damien had been stirring up trouble and tried to break free from her, refusing to be under her

control.Previously, when her master, Morris, was still around, Damien still knew his place and was

submissive, but just a year ago, he began working alone and wanted to break away from the

organization after Morris passed away and after Janet returned home.Narrowing her eyes, Janet

snorted, “There’s nothing to be afraid of because he’ll always lose to me.”“Janet, have you informed the

people from the organization about this?” Lee asked, concerned. “There’s no need for the people from

the organization to make a move,” she chuckled.
