MainNovelChapter 1245:
Presley crossed her arms and smirked at Raymond. “Looks like a good opportunity, right? The EB Group sure has
its hands full managing several projects at once. Don’t you think they might be overwhelmed? I like to think I'm
helping them lighten the load.”
Raymond's face turned pale with anger. Presley was clearly taking advantage of the situation.
Raymond then glanced over at the ICU, where a patient, entangled in a maze of tubes, looked as if they could
die at any moment.
“The doctor mentioned there's only about an hour left,” Presley said calmly, taking her seat on the bench
without a trace of urgency.
Raymond could feel cold sweat beading on his forehead. Every the thought about how Luella must be at
home, terrified and in tears, and how his elderly parents had likely spent a sleepless night, worry gnawed at him.
However, the thought of Eileen’s and Bryan's kindness to him kept resurfacing in his mind...
While Presley appeared to be lazily toying with her fingers, she was secretly observing Raymond. She noticed
every flicker of hesitation and unease that crossed his face.
Usually, an hour would fly by for Raymond when he was working, but now, each minute dragged on, heavy and
suffocating.
After what felt like an eternity, Presley checked her watch before standing up abruptly. “Well, it’s time. I'm

with the matter according to the law.” With that, Presley turned and started to leave.

“I don’t have tfor your games,” Presley said coolly, pausing. “Decide right now. Are you willing to let your
sister go to jail or not? Three, two—"
“No!” Raymond said without hesitation.
Presley’s smile appeared in an instant as she instructed her people, “Head to the station and withdraw the case.
Let them know we'll handle this privately.”
She then turned to Raymond and added, “I assthe person with the contracts is almost here, right? Let's go.
We're talking about deals worth hundreds of millions here. Can't afford to mess this up.”
Raymond stood frozen for a moment, processing everything, before reluctantly trailing behind Presley.
Just ten minutes ago, the secretary delivering the contracts had arrived at the hospital. She had tried calling
Raymond, but her calls had gone unanswered.
When the secretary finally spotted Raymond heading down, she let out a sigh of relief. “You're here at last. | was
