Chapter 70 Back To Bellmore

• ~Lucas~
• The return to Bellmore was bittersweet. The sight of the familiar skyline was supposed to feel like a victory, but all I felt was tension simmering under the surface. Derrick had already dropped Sienna and her sister at their place, leaving me alone with Étienne Laurent in the backseat.
• Étienne was all smiles, sipping from his travel mug and gazing out the window like this was just another successful day. And it was—for him. He’d secured the deal with Weston, and I’d proven my worth. But I couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that Grant and his scheming mother wouldn’t let this victory go unchallenged.
