NovelApexChapter 1401: Taking his cue, the woman steered the conversation towards personal interests and life philosophies, engaging in casual chatter for a good thirty minutes.
Eileen, growing increasingly bored, had abandoned her upright posture and now slumped against the table, struggling to stay awake.
Bryan subtly signaled to the woman, who promptly wrapped up the conversation and prepared to leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Colby" offered her a ride hwith a gentlemanly air, but she politely declined and departed in her own car. Sliding behind the wheel of his car, "Colby" donned a pair of black sunglasses, his gaze hardening as he cast a swift glance back at the coffee shop.
A smirk played on his lips as he pulled away, leaving the coffee shop behind.
His phone rang as he cruised down the road. He connected it to the car's Bluetooth and answered the call. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Amoura's voice crackled through the phone, sharp with accusation. "Who said you could just waltz around pretending to be Colby? Aren't you scared of being exposed?" "Why would I be scared? Even if they figure out I'm not Colby, how the hell are they gonna know who I really am? You're the one with these crazy, elaborate plans, so why the hell are you being such a coward now?" the man shot back, his voice icy.
Amoura's anger flared. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Are you blamingfor this? I'm doing all of this for you—” Your next favorite is on gVlnov The man interjected, his voice dripping with impatience, "Don't you dare say you're doing this for me! That's bullshit. You know damn well why you're doing this." He hung up before Amoura could respond, slamming his foot down on the gas pedal.
Eileen snatched her coat and bag and left the coffee shop.
She slumped into Bryan's car, took a deep breath, and frowned. "So, Lydia is trying to pull the sstunt with the Deleon family as she did with the Dawson family? But this is way more twisted!" she exclaimed.
Back then, Lydia had just wanted Christos to be a real Dawson family member. But now, she was trying to turn him into Colby.
"Coen's dead, but Lydia must still be loaded. She needs a way to clean that dirty money and live the high life without looking over her shoulder," Bryan said. "Her whole life, all she's ever wanted is to be rich and spend her money with ease." Coen's wealth was far greater than Eileen and Bryan could imagine. Anyone possessing such vast resources, yet compelled to live like a fugitive, would explore every available option to alter their circumstances.
Lydia, having endured over two decades within the Dawson family, had becunpredictable. She was likely to escalate her actions rather than concede defeat easily. Eileen's eyebrows drew together in a tight frown, and she remained still.
Bryan looked at her and lifted his hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "They are now m fugitives, and the police are on high alert. You don't have to worry about this too much." He assumed she was worried about possible complications since she was about to give birth soon.
Unexpectedly, Eileen swatted his hand away. "Didn't you just suggest | could try scoffee earlier?"
