Chapter 223 Wishing You a Happy Engagement
During this period, Peyton also thought about asking Dwayne out to continue the investigation through him.
But she was also afraid of alerting the enemy, so she didn’t take any action.
I didn’t expect Dwayne to come to her on his own.
Peyton pressed the connect button, “Hello, Dwayne.”
“Ms. Schmitt, where are you now? I have a lead on Leilani that you asked me to help you find earlier!”
Dwayne’s voice was extremely anxious, making it impossible to detect any hint of pretense.
Peyton asked tentatively, “What clue?”
“Leilani’s phone before her passing was simply shattered. I remember you were interested, so I wanted to ask if you wanted it?”
“I heard that her previous house had already been rented out to someone else. Her body was retrieved from the sea. Where did this. phone come from? Since it’s already broken, Dwayne, how can you be sure it belongs to Leilani?”
Peyton had a clear mind and quickly asked the key points.
Dwayne thought that she would be excited as soon as she heard this clue, but he didn’t expect Peyton to find the flaw so quickly.
While he was stuttering, Peyton said, “Dwayne, I don’t know what
your intentions are, but you are a person my father personally
supported. Without my father, there wouldn’t be you today. I don’t expect you to repay the favor, but at least don’t turn around and hurt us.”
There came a light laughter from the other end of the phone.
“You indeed have discovered it.”
Peyton remembered what Phillip had said. Don’t take action easily, wait for him to come back.
Today, Nolan got engaged. What did the other person want to do by tempting her at this time?
“Dwayne, I don’t know who you are, but you should have a conscience. If you’re in it for the money, as long as you choose to work with me, I Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
can give you double, or even more, the amount.”
“Alright, you come to Molly Coffee, and we’ll have a good chat.”
“I couldn’t go today as I had something to do. If you really have any clues, let’s arrange a time to meet. As for the reward, it’s up to you to decide.”
“It seems like you wouldn’t come out.”
“Sorry.”
“There’s nothing more to say then. Ms. Schmitt, you couldn’t escape.”
Peyton wanted to say something more, but the other person had already hung up the phone. Peyton closed their eyes, realizing that everything couldn’t be hidden anymore.
The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to engage in a direct confrontation with her, and today they have already torn their faces
part.
Peyton was helpless, why did it have to be today.
She vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
Even though she had already quit and distanced herself from Nolan’s life, why wouldn’t that person give up?
Fortunately, before leaving, Phillip had arranged other people to protect Kason, although the salary was a bit expensive, but at least it was safe.
Kason was not expected to encounter any trouble for the time being, but instead, she became the one in danger.
The bait thrown by Dwayne, Peyton did not take the bait, so there will definitely be another one.
Unfortunately, she had to undergo surgery today.
What should I do?
Peyton stared at the door, always feeling that there was danger lurking behind it.
Her palms were unknowingly filled with sweat.
She took out her phone and instinctively wanted to find someone.
Even she didn’t realize that the first call she made was to Nolan.
It’s over.
She quickly pressed the end button.
One second before hanging up, his clear voice came through the phone.
Nolan actually answered the phone immediately!
“Hello,” a deep voice resonated in Peyton’s car.
Peyton was stunned, never expecting him to answer her call on a day
like this.
After a long silence, the person opposite grew impatient. Nolan said, “Speak.”
Speaking?
What did she say?
Did you ask him to bring a few people over to protect her?
A few days ago, Peyton had just said not to have any contact in the
future. Now, saying such words on the day of his engagement, Nolan would definitely think she is just acting for attention.
Peyton quickly realized and said, “Congratulations on your engagement.”
