Chapter 731 - 730
Erin looked at Lewis and Kiera, speaking directly, "Well, considering your relationship with the first branch has always been bad, just release Selena and let her and Jake fight it out! This has nothing to do with you anyway!"
"Selena is quite capable. With the support of her husband, she might be able to snatch away part of the first branch’s assets from Jake."
"Although Jake has been performing well lately and has allied with you, you and Lewis don’t have to protect him, right? Besides... Selena doesn’t seem to have any major conflicts with you. If you and Lewis take the initiative to show goodwill to the Cobb family, the alliance among the Five Great Families will remain intact, wouldn’t it?"
Erin’s intention was clear to Kiera.
So it turned out that Erin wanted her and Lewis to release Selena... and fearing her disagreement might jeopardize the alliance of the Five Great Families, she resorted to scaring her at the outset using her mother?
Kiera was utterly speechless.
She looked directly at Erin, "All this over such a trivial matter?"
Erin coughed lightly, "It’s not that. I was just worried you’d insist on standing up for Jake and refuse to let go, so I thought to scare you first."
Claiming that her mother was in trouble, then saying that if she didn’t release Selena, her mother really would be in trouble. Erin figured Kiera would definitely comply.
Who knew that her little scheme almost provoked this woman’s fury.
Thinking back to Kiera’s terrifying demeanor just moments ago, Erin felt a chill down her back.
In the future, using her mother as a joke is absolutely off-limits.
