PART 3 — The Lunch That Ended Everything
PART 3 — The Lunch That Ended Everything
Across town, Jasper enjoyed a lavish lunch with his parents and sister.
Gillian raised her champagne glass.
"Now that Hailey finally gave you a son, she can focus on staying home."
Priscilla laughed.
"She's lucky you put up with all her drama."
Jasper smirked.
"She'll calm down."
"She always does."
His phone buzzed.
Unknown Number.
He ignored it.
A second later...
Another call.
Then another.
Finally, annoyed, he answered.
"This better be important."
A calm male voice responded.
"This is Daniel Brooks, Chief of Security for Robertson Global Corporation."
"We're informing you that Ms. Hailey Robertson has permanently left the residence."
"The locks have been changed."
"Your personal belongings have been inventoried."
"If you wish to retrieve them, our legal department will arrange a scheduled pickup."
Jasper frowned.
"...Robertson?"
"Who?"
The line went silent.
Then Daniel spoke one final sentence.
"The owner of the vehicle you've been driving would also like it returned immediately."
The call disconnected.
Outside the restaurant, a tow truck slowly backed toward the black SUV.
Jasper rushed outside.
"What are you doing?"
The driver handed him paperwork.
"The registered owner requested immediate recovery."
Jasper stared at the document.
Registered Owner:
Robertson Global Corporation.
