The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 354

At this moment, Megan was seething as she glared at Archie with a clenched jaw. She wanted to refute but was stopped by Jeanne.

"Jeanne, why are you holding me back? This is simply unreasonable! Two-thirds of my hard-earned wealth gone with just one sentence? What kind of joke is this? It's insane!"

"Megan, don't panic. Didn't Mr. Baxter say that it's ultimately up to Nolan? Right now, everyone is just showing Nolan respect. Even if you speak up now, it won't help and will only backfire.

"Let's just wait and see. I think his words are aimed at the majority here, not you and the Weiss family."

Megan shot a cold glance at Jeanne, saying, "You'd better be right, or it won't just be me, but you'd be included as well. After all, you're here today too."

That one sentence was enough to drain the color from Jeanne's face.

She had only been concerned about Megan, the Weiss family, and the others, forgetting that she was also one of the attendees that day.

In fact, while most people hadn't directly mocked Nolan, she had actively done so. If anyone were unqualified to feel wronged, it would be her.

"I'm just an ordinary employee, barely getting by as it is. Why should I have to donate my money? This is ridiculous!"

Megan looked at Jeanne with a smirk. "Do you think Mr. Baxter would care about that? Fine. We'll do as you say. I refuse to believe that Nolan can really force us to donate everything we've worked so hard to earn. Who does he think he is?

"I don't care about everyone else, but no one can touch my assets!" With that, Megan strode toward the Weiss family.

Seeing George in despair, Audrey looking hopeless, and Kara in an utter daze, she shook her head, feeling pity for them. They were supposed to be the biggest winners but had instead become the greatest losers.

"Audrey, is this the outcome you wanted? I warned you long ago that Nolan was trouble, but you wouldn't listen. Now, look what happened. Tell me, do you regret it?"

Audrey glanced at Megan but didn't have the energy to argue. "If you're here to mock me, go ahead."

Megan shook her head. "Why would I mock you? Audrey, I'm here to ask something important. What's the deal with the Spirit of Life Serum, and how does Nolan have access to it? Don't tell me you don't know anything about it.

"Since he got out of prison, you've been the one closest to him. Even him giving the Spirit of Life Serum to Kara was your idea, wasn't it? You suggested it, and he gave it. So, what's going on? Explain yourself."
