Chapter 163: I Like You
Jamal stared at Ryan in disbelief, wondering if Ryan was messing with him or if this was a trap of some sort.
As much as the offer made him want to dance for joy, he knew better than to jump at a deal from the devil.
"I beg your pardon?" Jamal asked, and Ryan smiled, rising from his seat.
He had thought long and hard about it. Planting cameras and bugs were useless. Apart from the fact that he didn’t have the time to sit down to monitor and watch what she was doing, he didn’t want to assign just anyone to do it.
He wasn’t sure how much Abigail knew yet, and he didn’t want just anyone to find out what she was doing, and by extension the secrets of the past which he had carefully buried.
Jamal on the other hand was smart and loyal, and he seemed to have very easily won over the trust of his daughters. Especially Abigail.
In all these years apart from the silly golddigging boys that had approached Abigail, he had not met anyone who was effortlessly close to Abigail like Jamal, and he figured he could use it to his advantage.
If Abigail fell in love and married Jamal, then Abigail would easily confide in Jamal about all she knew and all her plans since Jamal was her husband, and Jamal in turn would tell him everything.
With Jamal on his side and as Abigail’s husband, Jamal would be able to keep Abigail in check and stop whatever plans she had. And not only that, he would easily find out who Josh’s real father was and whether or not Abigail was still in close contact with him.
Together they would cut him off and make sure he never showed up anywhere near Abigail or tries to claim Josh.
"I understand your surprise," he said with a sly smile as he walked around the table to take the seat next to Jamal.
