Rebecca pondered for a moment before agreeing with a smile. “Alright, I can help, but there’s no need for unnecessary theatrics. I can get your family out, but I won’t let them go until you’ve helped me deal with Nyla.”

Jordyn’s face turned cold as she gritted her teeth. “No need. Just make sure you help them leave when the time comes.”

If her family fell into Rebecca’s hands, it wouldn’t be any different than being under Clark’s control. She would still be blackmailed into doing things she didn’t want to do.

Rebecca let out a light laugh, her tone laced with mockery. “Ms. Cheatham, you’re not really in a position to make demands. Either I help get your family out, or you figure it out yourself.”

“Rebecca, you’re kicking me while I’m down!” Jordyn hissed.

Jordyn’s anger didn’t faze Rebecca. If anything, it made her smile even wider. “I didn’t want to do this, but you handed me this leverage on a silver platter, didn’t you?”

Silence fell on the other end of the line.

The quiet stretched long enough that it felt like no one was there.

Rebecca wasn’t in a rush. She set her phone down on the table and took a sip of red wine. She knew Jordyn would come around.

After what felt like ages, Jordyn’s reluctant voice came through. “Fine, I’ll do it. But if anything happens to my family, I’ll tell Damon everything you’ve done.”

“Relax. Your family will be safer with me than they ever were with Clark,” Rebecca assured her.

After hanging up, Rebecca immediately called Troy, instructing him to find out where Jordyn’s parents were being held.

Troy sounded irritated. “Ms. Austen, I’m Mr. Preston’s assistant, not yours.”

“Well, Mr. Cantrill, when I was visiting Nathaniel yesterday, I accidentally overheard a phone call you had in the stairwell. And wouldn’t you know it, I accidentally recorded it.

“I wonder how Nathaniel would feel if he heard you’ve been embezzling company funds to play the stock market. I doubt you’d just lose your job–you might even end up in prison. What do you think?” Rebecca’s tone dripped with sarcasm.

If she hadn’t overheard Troy’s secret, she never would have known he had the nerve to misappropriate company investments, only to lose everything. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Troy’s breathing grew heavy, his voice thick with barely contained anger. “Fine, I’ll handle it.”

“Good. There’s no need to bother Nathaniel with this–he’s got enough on his plate,” Rebecca reminded him.

Understood, Ms. Austen,” Troy replied.

After hanging up, Rebecca smirked. It wouldn’t be long before Nyla disappeared from this world, and she

Troy worked quickly. In less than a day, he discovered where Jordyn’s family was being held and arranged for their rescue.

Following Rebecca’s instructions, he relocated them to a safe location.

Thanks to Troy’s efforts, Jordyn was able to reunite with her parents and brother.

The moment she saw her parents, both visibly thinner, tears welled up in her eyes. “Dad, Mom, I’m so sorry you had to go through this…”

Jordyn’s father looked grim. He raised his hand, ready to strike her, demanding to know what she had done to cause this mess, but his wife quickly grabbed his arm.

Stepping forward, Jordyn’s mother rasped, “Jordyn, we’re family. Don’t say such things. But what happened? How did you upset Clark so badly that he had us locked up?”
