Chapter 1315

[ 572 words ]

The door clicked shut.

Luella walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the unfamiliar yet familiar city.

After a few seconds of silence, she dialed Juniper’s number.

“Juniper, I need a favor.”

“Tell me.”

“I need you to dig up all the information on Lachlan, Yvonne, and Esme,” Luella said. “The good, the bad, I want it all.”

“Ready to make your move?” Juniper chuckled. “As long as you want it, I can dig up their entire family history going back eighteen generations.”

“But Lachlan is the Executive Chief of a country. It’ll take some time.”

“No problem.”

Luella raised an eyebrow. Now that business was handled, she inevitably had to ask about something else. “How’s Jimmie doing?”

“He’s been quiet.”

It was nighttime in Eclara City, and Juniper yawned. “He probably accepted reality.”

“That’s good.”

Luella pressed her lips together in disappointment, her tone low. “Once I’m done here, I’ll come back and see you.”

“Stay safe,” Juniper softly reminded her. “Luella, you are not allowed to get hurt.” “Alright.”

Luella dragged out her words, sounding utterly unserious. “I’ve got to keep an eye on that old fox every second, nothing’s going to happen to me.”

Ending the call.

The smile vanished completely from Luella’s face, leaving her feeling hollow inside.

Jimmie…

It seemed he really was just going to be a passing figure in her life.

Leaving the Political Council.

Luella turned to Kate, a smile plastered on her face. “You can get off work now.”

“But the Executive Chief told me to stay close…”

“It’s fine.” Luella patted her shoulder, speaking casually. “If the Executive Chief asks, just tell him I pointed a gun at your head and threatened you to stay away.”

Kate stood frozen, her mind buzzing.

The rumors said the eldest Langley was unhinged, and seeing this now, they seemed quite credible.

“Take this.” Luella pulled a wad of cash from her wallet and shoved it into Kate’s hand. “Take a cab home. Come back and spy on me tomorrow.”

Holding the cash helplessly, Kate watched Luella walk away.

Getting into the car, Luella called a friend. “The M Bar, make it quick.”

On the other side of the city.

Jimmie had been flying for almost twenty hours and felt lightheaded.

He wasn’t familiar with Stellara

Country and he was afraid that it

he

contacted Luella in advance, the guy would just avoid him. .net>

After thinking it over, Jimmie decided to go to a hotel to freshen up and rest before making a plan.

He had already chased him all the way to his doorstep, anyway.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jimmie reached the hotel entrance, he ran into the hotel manager.

The manager was a friend of Luella’s, and they had a good relationship.

He was on the phone:

“Luella, you’re back?”

“The M Bar, right?”

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Hanging up, the man adjusted his clothes in the mirror and happily drove away.

Jimmie stood in the corner, his gaze growing colder by the second.

The M Bar, huh?

By the time the manager arrived, Luella was already quite drunk, holding a microphone and singing.

Every single song she queued up belonged to Jimmie.

“Are you okay?” Her friend was startled. “Why are you drinking so much? In a bad

mood?”

“Yeah.”

Luella

ollapsed onto the sofa, et eyes red, looking quite wronged. was perfectly happy, but it’s all that one for

bastard’s fault. He provoke that

absolutely no reason!”

“Bastard?”

Her friend was utterly confused. “Who?”

“Him!”

Luella swayed, pointing at the

persono

the screen, complaining

bitterly. That bastard dimmie: Tate!”

Gontent

“If he were right in front of me, I’d definitely kill him!”

Just as Luella finished her drunken rant, the private room door suddenly opened.

Jimmie’s figure appeared in the doorway.
