Chapter 899 Greta had a way of stirring the pot. "Sis, you've suddenly lowered your guard. You must be after something, huh?" Jackson couldn't stand people who lacked integrity, so his attitude towards Nathalie turned frosty in an instant. He scoffed, "It's a shmy brother has no tfor those who grovel for fand fortune. Ashley, just leave. My brother won't see you, so why embarrass yourself here?" Morris's gaze was as cold as ice. "It's pathetic that the Sharp family has raised someone as clueless as you." Jackson's handsface flushed with anger. "Mr. Rowland, if you look down on the Sharp family, why are you here looking for a job? We don't need disloyal people like you. You can leave."

Nathalie beamed with relief and quickly said to the doorman, "Please, lead the way." The doorman gestured, "Right this way, please." Nathalie nudged Morris along, ignoring Greta and Jackson, and followed the doorman inside.
Greta was seething with jealousy but acted clueless, pondering aloud, "Why would Jules invite them in? Could he be thinking about teaming up with the Stewart family? Jackson was just as puzzled. "Weird, my brother seemed indifferent to them. Looks like these two have stricks up their sleeve." "Let's go see."
When Jackson and Greta reached the door of Jules's study, the butlerm stopped them: "Jackson, Jules said he's with guests and doesn't want to be disturbed." Jackson felt uneasy, a wave of helplessness washing over him as he realized he was losing control.
