Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 401

Chad replied, “I stand with the people, unless...” He chuckled. “Unless Mr. Marlow decides to stand against people.”

Mr. Marlow had not anticipated this level of defiance from Chad, who was in the newest promotion. He followed protocol and took Tom into custody.

As Tom was taken away, his eyes burned with anger towards Chad. Chad met his gaze unafraid.

At noon, Jack’s lawyer arrived. Following procedure, he took Jack away.

After his departure, Finley made a direct call to him.

Aiden stood by his son’s side. He hung up the phone. “Jack, one must know their limitations. Ashford Inc has always been clean. If it becomes tainted under your control, I’ll revoke your inheritance.”

He continued, “Your arrest today is Chad’s warning to you.”

“Warning?” Jack seemed puzzled. His understanding was superficial, unlike Chad’s deeper comprehension.

Aiden told his son, “You only met that man once, but he has arrested you. If you agreed to work with him, you wouldn’t be getting out today.”

“You’re lost in the praise from your mother. She’s shallow-minded. Your academic achievements, which you’re so proud of, are nothing to Chad. Has he ever mentioned it to you?”

“Jack, don’t be so arrogant. Don’t try to make an enemy out of the Byrne family. And don’t provoke Chad. He wouldn’t be Havenbrook’s youngest precinct captain without being wise.”

Jack was astonished. No wonder Molly had always been so aloof to him. Her brother was far superior.

“Go back to earning clean money. Even if it’s hard, at least you’ll have peace of mind.”

Fortunately, Jack heeded his father’s advice and changed his mind.

Cecilia caused another scene. Aiden went straight to file for divorce. He’d rather leave the marriage penniless than stay with a foolish woman.

Leo had disappeared for some time. When he reappeared, he was at a hospital in West Meadows. He moved to the window to contact Andre, “Uncle, I’ve found them.”

Andre asked, “Where did you find them?”

“In a mental hospital.” Leo gazed into the room at the two men among the patients. Their saliva stained their clothes. They were laughing like fools. No, wait, they were really fools now.

“How did you find them there?”

Leo replied, “It’s a long story. Uncle, I’ve decided to bring them home. We’ll have them checked at our local hospital to see if they’re really mad or just faking it.”

“Alright, be careful.”

Jack had planned to collaborate with them, but his phone call was abruptly ended. This explained everything. Chad had ruined his plans again!

Finley didn’t know that Andre had been feeding Chad information all along, so he blamed everything on Chad.

Just then, Tom returned. For safety, Finley immediately sent Tom to West Meadows. “Stay low for a while. Chad won’t rest until he’s chewed you up and spat you out. Also, keep an eye on Ellory and Kyle. Even if they’re really mad, we can’t let them fall into Leo’s hands.”

Tom nodded. “Yes, boss. I won’t let you down this time.”

But the next moment, disappointment struck. Before Tom could set off, he received a call from someone in West Meadows.

“What?” Leo had found the two men and taken them away! How did Leo find them in a hospital?

Tom nervously informed Finley about Leo’s discovery.

Upon hearing the news, Finley slammed his fist on the table, causing the lid of the cup to tremble. His face turned ashen with anger. He felt as though he was playing a losing game of chess. Every move he made seemed to lead to a dead end.

Nothing was on his side.

Leo returned to Havenbrook in the evening and immediately went to see his mother.

Naomi, missing her son, ran to embrace him. “Leo, where have you been? Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

“I’m here now. Don’t worry,” he comforted his mother while asking, “Where’s Grandpa and Mia?”

Hansen, aware of what his grandson had been doing, appeared and pointed at Leo. “Good boy, you’re truly my grandson.”

Leo, noticing his grandfather looked well, asked, “Where’s our big round ball?”
