Chapter 262 Jeffrey Learned The Truth
At the company entrance, employees scanned their access cards one by one to enter.
Jeffrey, unaware of the procedure, just blended in with the crowd and walked in without
hesitation.
But just as he reached the turnstile, it locked in place, and a loud alarm rang through the
air.
Within moments, security guards hurried over, their voices sharp. “Who are you? What are you trying to do?”
The sudden commotion drew everyone’s attention, and Jeffrey felt their eyes land on him.
The loud alarm and the countless stares made Jeffrey nervous. He clenched his fists, struggling to speak. “I… I’m not here to cause trouble… I just…”
Before he could finish, one of the guards grabbed him by the arm and shoved him aside.
“Get out now!” the guard ordered.
But Jeffrey stood his ground. He hadn’t seen Brian yet. He still needed answers.
“No… I won’t leave! I need to see Brian White,” he said, forcing the words out. Saying those words took every bit of courage he had.

The guard let out a mocking laugh, shaking his head. “Did you just say Mr. Brian White? Hah! Look at him–he actually thinks he can meet the president. What a joke!”
Another guard smirked. “Hey, didn’t they say a mental patient escaped from a hospital recently? Maybe it’s him. We should just call the cops and let them deal with it.”
The word “police” sent a wave of panic through Jeffrey. His eyes brimmed with tears as he pleaded, “No… I’m not crazy. Please don’t call the police!”
But the more he begged, the more certain the guards became that something was wrong
with him.
“What’s the point of talking to him? Just call 911. We’ll be in trouble if we let him roam around,” one of them said impatiently.
“Good idea. I’m calling right now,” another guard replied, pulling out his phone.
Seeing the guard already dialing, Jeffrey panicked. Without thinking, he lunged forward and grabbed the phone from his hand.
The guard’s face darkened with rage. “How dare you take my phone? You’re looking for trouble, aren’t you?” the guard snapped, extending his hand. “Give it back right now!”
Jeffrey shook his head desperately and backed away, holding onto the phone tightly. “Please… don’t call the cops.”
“I’m warning you–give it back, or you’ll regret it,” the guard threatened, stepping forward.
Jeffrey was too weak to fight back and had no choice but to retreat, step by step, until his back hit the lobby wall, leaving him completely cornered.
“No…” he whispered, shaking his head, but he had nowhere left to run.
But in a swift motion, the guard grabbed the phone from his hand.
In his desperation, Jeffrey clutched the guard’s shirt, his voice trembling. “I swear… I’m not here to cause trouble. I just need to see Brian White!”
The guard sneered and kicked him back. “You must be delusional. Do you have any idea who he is? You think you can just waltz in and meet him?”
Jeffrey, struggling to steady himself, insisted, “He… he’s going to be my brother–in–law.”
The moment he said it, laughter erupted around him.
The guards doubled over, barely able to contain themselves.
One of them wiped his tears from laughing. “Did I hear that right? You are somewhat related to him? Even in my dreams, I wouldn’t dare think of being part of his family. And you? You expect us to believe that?”
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 some effort. This level of nonsense, and you still dare show to up here?”
“What… are you talking about?” Jeffrey questioned.
The receptionist scoffed, jabbing a finger toward Jeffrey’s chest. “Get this straight–Mr. White’s girlfriend is Tracy Haynes. She doesn’t even have a brother. 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.
If he hadn’t shown up today, he never would have believed it. So, Brian really had dumped Rachel. It hadn’t been a mutual breakup–it was outright abandonment. The truth hit Jeffrey like a punch to the gut, sending waves of grief and rage crashing over hin
“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.
“Jeffrey, let go! What are you doing here all of a sudden? Does your sister even know about this?”
The mention of his sister only fueled Jeffrey’s fury.

“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 sorry! It’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.
“Where is he?” Jeffrey asked, his frustration growing as he stared at the empty office.
“Jeffrey, just give it a moment. He is in an important meeting–he’ll be here in about thirty minutes,” Ronald quickly explained.
“You’d better not be lying,” Jeffrey warned, his glare sharp and unwavering, just like something out of a crime drama.
“Relax, I’m not lying. Just sit tight for a bit–I’ll go get him myself.”
With that, Ronald rushed off to make a call.
Unfortunately, Brian’s line was busy–again and again.
Ronald then tried Rachel’s phone, but she didn’t pick up
either.
Ronald, pacing anxiously like a cat on a hot tin roof, didn’t notice when Tracy silently entered Brian’s office.
Noticing her, Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Who… who are you?”
“I’m Tracy Haynes, Mr. White’s secretary,” she introduced herself with a polite smile. “Since you’re Mr. White’s guest, I came to personally bring you some tea and check if you need anything.”
Jeffrey’s eyes widened, his rage bubbling up again. “You… you’re the Tracy they were talking about?”
