Chapter 1026 How Dare You Offend Her?
Janice was leisurely waiting in her villa for her arranged contacts to report back to her. Swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, she smirked. She was determined to teach whoever crossed her a lesson.
The doorbell rang, and with impatience, Janice went to answer it, ready to scold whoever was disturbing her. But the sight that greeted her left her stunned. “Uncle Sebastian, Dane, what brings you here?”
Her uncle, Sebastian Freeson, gave Janice a cold look and said tersely, ” Let’s talk inside.”
Confused, Janice followed them in, only to be kicked behind her knees the moment she stepped through the door. She fell to her knees in front of Sebastian.
Turning angrily to her cousin who had kicked her, she snapped, “Are you crazy, Dane? Why did you kick me for no reason?”
Dane’s eyes were filled with hostility as he retorted, “Consider this mercy. Be thankful I didn’t kill you as an apology.”
Janice retorted, “What could possibly be so serious as to warrant taking my life? Wait until Grandpa hears about this; he’ll beat the crap out of you!”
Dane scoffed disdainfully. He had always been irritated by Janice’s troublemaking ways, and now she had caused a significant problem. “Grandpa is on his way here. He’s going to teach you a lesson and kick you out of the Freesons.”
Janice was shocked; she hadn’t expected the situation to be so grave. Her grandfather, who seldom left Loxton due to his age, was coming.
“Uncle Sebastian, is what he’s saying true? Grandpa is coming to punish me? “Janice asked, her face ashen.
Sebastian nodded with a stern face. ” Janice, you’ve caused a disaster this time.”
Dane added irritably, “You’re going to destroy the Freesons. We will pay for what you’ve done.”
Had only Dane said those words, Janice would have dismissed it. But seeing even her uncle share this sentiment, she truly began to panic.
“Uncle Sebastian, what’s going on? I haven’t caused any trouble lately, and I haven’t offended anyone!” Janice said.
“Janice, be honest with me. Did you mess with someone named Audrey?” Sebastian inquired.
Janice paused upon hearing Sebastian’s question. “Audrey? She’s just an actress, what’s the big deal?” She didn’t understand why Audrey’s name was mentioned.
Dane became anxious at her nonchalant tone. “You fool! Yes, Audrey is an actress, but don’t you know her family runs the well-known Swann Corporation in Casier? Their influence is no less than ours.”
Janice was aware of this, but her arrogance had always blinded her to the consequences. “It’s just the Swann Corporation. Dane, you’re exaggerating to say they could bring down the Freesons.”
“You’re a goddamn idiot!” Dane couldn’t help but criticize Janice’s thoughtlessness. “Not only is Audrey the daughter of the Swanns, but she also has a sister, Catherine, whose husband is Branden Duncan. You might not know Catherine, but surely you’ve heard of Branden and the Duncans’ reputation, right? How dare you cross the Duncans? You’re digging your own grave!”
Dane paused for a moment and continued, “Branden visited Grandpa tonight. Do you realize now how serious this matter is?” The mere involvement of Branden and Catherine was a nightmare for the Freesons, not to mention Audrey’s intricate connection with Triston.
Janice was familiar with the Duncans’ reputation but had no idea Audrey had such powerful backing. No wonder her grandfather had to come to Casier.
At this realization, Janice clung to Sebastian’s leg in panic. “Uncle Sebastian, what should I do now?”
