The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 668

A cold smirk played on Talbot's lips. "Isn't Callahan negotiating for that piece of land in the south of the city? I hear he's made quite a few enemies over it."

His fingertips tapped against the steering wheel. "What if he had a little 'accident' while he's out of town on business..."

Life, after all, is full of 'accidents'. Callahan might fancy himself a business genius, but no matter how brilliant you are, you can't outsmart a bullet. In this day and age, it wouldn't be surprising if something happened to Callahan while he was traveling alone...

Reese immediately understood, her voice dropping to a whisper. "But that area is heavily monitored. What if we get caught..."

"Caught?" Talbot scoffed. "As long as we're clean, who could possibly trace it back to us?"

He had been placing his own pieces on the board for years; it was time to make a move.

He glanced at his wife in the rearview mirror. "You're the one who can't stand that Leilani, right? Once Callahan falls, let's see how arrogant she can be."

A smile finally broke across Reese's face, though her tone remained caustic. "By then, I wouldn't even let her kneel and beg at our doorstep. It would dirty the place."

Reese wasn't worried about what Dante would do if they were exposed. They had already burned that bridge, so there was no harm in burning it to the ground.

If Talbot succeeded, they would gain the entire Langley Group. Compared to that, Reese felt Talbot should have done this long ago. Finally, she could get back at them for all the years of humiliation!

Outside the car window, streetlights flew past, casting fleeting shadows across Talbot's face. He gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white.

This time, he would make Dante watch with his own eyes as his most prized grandson was utterly destroyed.

Beside him, Reese was still rambling on. "Once you've dealt with Callahan, then..."

"Enough," Talbot cut her off, his voice icy. "Stop with the pointless chatter."
