Chapter 142
Annoyed, Paisley left, her actions unnoticed. After about half an hour, a commotion came from Grandpa’s room. Chloe rushed in to find him pale, clutching his chest. She called for an ambulance, but the line was busy. Unable to find Grandpa’s phone, she tried Donovan, but he was unreachable. In her desperation, she thought of Jacob.
Chloe's heart raced as she realized the gravity of the situation. She had to act fast. "Jacob, Grandpa is in critical condition. The ambulance isn't responding. I'll try to hail a cab. Meet me outside."
Jacob, motivated by the promise of a substantial reward, swiftly made his way to Chloe's location. Brayden, unaware of Jacob's involvement, joined the effort to help. Jacob, in possession of valuable information, shared the details with Brayden.
"We need to get to Donovan's estate quickly. Chloe can't handle this alone," Brayden urged. Jacob, his motives unclear, accelerated toward the destination.
"You've always disliked Donovan. Why the sudden change?" Brayden questioned Jacob, wary of any ulterior motives.
"Don't worry, I have no other intentions," Jacob reassured.
"Remember, behave yourself," Brayden reminded sternly.
Chloe, struggling to find a taxi, felt a sense of despair. Every passing moment was crucial.
Unbeknownst to her, Paisley had orchestrated a series of events to delay any potential help. The situation seemed dire, and Chloe's resolve was put to the test.
