Chapter: 409

“This is Jonathan Bates."

The driver was momentarily stunned but quickly replied, "Mr. Bates, I remember you! Is something wrong?"

"I'll arrange for someone to contact you to set up a voice modulation system for me." Jonathan paused briefly before continuing, “Five million. I'll transfer it to you immediately."

Five million!

A sum that could change an ordinary person's life.

The driver hesitated, cautious about scams. "What's this for?" he asked carefully.

"You don't need to know."

The driver hesitated briefly and said, "I'm concerned..."

Jonathan frowned deeply and asked, "What do you have that's worth worrying about being scammed for?"

“True. I'm just curious why you need the recording."

Jonathan responded, "Remember the car I had you collide with before? I need to communicate with the owner of that car."

The driver finally understood the circumstances. "Is it inconvenient to use your own voice?"

"Precisely."

"Got it! I'll cooperate fully!"

After ending the call, Jonathan instructed Brody to expedite the task.

As everything was set in motion, Jonathan glanced at his desk, where his phone still displayed the conversation with Bethany.

Pressing his lips together, Jonathan felt a surge of self-reproach.

He had decided to give up.

Yet the resolve he prided himself on had crumbled in front of Bethany.

Jonathan raised his hand to rub his temples, reassuring himself that his concern for Bethany was merely out of curiosity.

Perhaps it was just his concern over her recent injury; after all, the incident occurred on a project site, and as CEO, it was his responsibility to ensure her well-being.

Yes, that must be it.

Bethany checked her phone to ensure there were no new messages from the driver before she stowed it away, focusing on the meeting ahead.

She had deleted him, believing their interactions were concluded.
