Chapter 589: Chapter 588: Waiting for Someone

Speaking of Caleb Holt’s incident, Jackson Zane sighed and said:

"Ronan was a bit heavy-handed that day, he broke that reporter’s nose, now no matter how much we pay, it won’t work; he insists on suing Ronan."

A fractured nose, that’s considered a serious injury.

If Caleb is convicted, his life would truly be ruined.

South Grant remained silent, not speaking. Caleb didn’t want South to have to deal with his problems as soon as he returned, and he spoke up:

"It’s nothing, South, you don’t have to worry. At worst..."

This sentence wasn’t finished when South’s gaze swept over.

Caleb stopped talking then and South looked at him, "At worst what? At worst you’ll spend a few years inside? Caleb, do you know what going to prison means? It means bearing a mark you can’t erase for the rest of your life."

After South finished speaking, seeing Caleb’s guilty expression, he didn’t continue, instead he raised his hand and patted Caleb’s shoulder, saying:

"I’m already back; I won’t let anything happen to you."

Jackson Zane then leaned forward with a fawning expression, saying: "Yeah, yeah, we’re all the Queen’s men, the Queen will protect us."

South’s lips twitched upon hearing Jackson’s words.

"Already taken."

When Caleb heard South say it’s "already taken", he was slightly stunned, lowering his head without speaking.

Jackson then asked South: "South, where are you heading now?"

"Grant Group’s anniversary gala." South slightly raised an eyebrow, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

Jackson was driving in front, and from the rear-view mirror he could see a black car had been following them.

Jackson attempted to shake them off, but they kept maintaining a not-too-close-but-not-too-far distance.

"Alden, what are you looking outside for?"

"South, we’re being followed."

South looked back, then laughed.

"It’s fine, just drive, they’re our own people."

When South mentioned "our own people", Jackson was a bit curious.

He later realized, it should be South’s bodyguards.

Jackson guessed correctly; indeed, they were South’s bodyguards, which was something Nathan Foster had arranged in advance.

As soon as she left the airport, they were waiting outside.

South had undergone surgery, and although it was successful, precautions had to be taken to prevent further damage or injury to her head.

When South decided to return to the country, Nathan had made meticulous arrangements.

Sitting in the car, Caleb naturally knew the trailing car belonged to South; that man protected her well.

Caleb’s mood was complicated; he felt both relieved and a bit lost.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel for Grant Group’s anniversary gala.

A long red carpet was laid out at the entrance, indicating the event had only just begun.

Many figures from the business world were present, along with celebrities from the entertainment circle, and there were also numerous reporters.

At this time, guests were entering one after another, while South remained seated in the car without going inside.

Once everyone had gone in, South still hadn’t gotten out of the car.

Jackson was getting restless and asked South: "South, why haven’t you gone in yet?"

"Wait." South wasn’t in a hurry at all.

Jackson stayed with South, waiting, and after another twenty minutes, seeing no sign of movement from South, he grew more anxious.

"South, who are you waiting for?"

"An important person." South said.

Jackson didn’t know who South was referring to, so he could only accompany her and wait.

Soon, a stretched van appeared at the hotel entrance, and South’s lips curled slightly, saying: "Here."
