NovelOnlineChapter 537: Jeffrey's face burned with frustration, his eyes turning red.
The ruckus had drawn even more attention. Someone from the front desk walked over, frowning. "What's happening here?" "This guy." One of the guards pointed at Jeffrey with a smirk. "He says he wants to meet Mr. Brian White. Oh, and get this-he claims Mr. White is going to be his brother-in-law.” Jeffrey glanced at the receptionist, hoping for a different reaction, but she only sneered. "If you're going to run a scam, at least put in seffort. This level of nonsense, and you still dare show up here?" "What... are you talking about?" Jeffrey questioned.

Brother-in-law? That's the biggest joke I've heard today." The receptionist and the guards erupted into laughter, openly mocking him.
Jeffrey, however, stood completely still. In that instant, everything around him faded into silence. The only thing he could hear was a single sentence, repeating over and over in his mind.
The rush of emotions was unbearable. Unable to stop himself, he grabbed the receptionist, his voice almost frantic. "Say that again!" "Tracy doesn't have a—" Jeffrey cut her off sharply. "Not that one-the one before it!” "Mr. White's girlfriend is Tracy Haynes." Jeffrey's fury surged, his grip tightening. "Say it again!" "Mr. White's girlfriend is... is..." Only then did the receptionist begin to tremble, her voice faltering with fear.
Jeffrey's bloodshot eyes locked onto her, his stare sharp enough to cut through steel.

"Mr. Miller, help... help me,” the receptionist suddenly cried out, reaching for Ronald like he was her last hope. Ronald, seeing the commotion, rushed over immediately.

"Don't bring up my sister! Where's Brian White? I want to see him right now."
Ronald quickly nodded. "Alright, alright, I'll take you to him. Just let go of her, and don't do anything reckless." By now, the guards and the receptionist exchanged uneasy glances, realizing Jeffrey wasn't just making things up.
They quickly backpedaled, apologizing hastily. "We're sorrynt's our mistake we didn't realize who you were. Please forgive us." "Jeffrey, let's go upstairs and talk," Ronald coaxed, his tone softer in an attempt to calm him.
Only then did Jeffrey loosen his hold, though his fury hadn't faded. Ronald wasted no time, guiding him into the elevator and straight to Brian's office.
