Chapter 603

Edward stopped and looked down at me. “I’ve got a plan. You call the cops, and I’ll hand the evidence over to the Lynn family’s rivals. The Lynn family will have Isabelle apologize to you, and she’ll be facing jail time.”

“Really?” I couldn’t believe it. I thought Edward would just tell me to suck it up, especially since the Jennings and Lynn families seemed pretty tight.

“Yeah, Isabelle’s way too young to be this vicious. She needs to learn a lesson,” Edward said, then turned to grab a hair dryer.

I sat on the bed with my back to him, legs tucked up. Edward’s fingers moved through my hair, sending an unfamiliar shiver through me.

While he was drying my hair, Edward said, “Don’t get the wrong idea–I’m not some pro. I’ve just been doing this for Nora ever since she was a kid.”

I paused for a second, my cheeks flushing. Honestly, I’d just been wondering how a guy like him could be so good at this–he must have had a ton of practice.

Edward switched gears. “The Lynn Family and the Chamberlain Family are locked in a fierce power struggle right now. But if you really want to blow the whistle to the Chamberlains, the Lynns won’t just stand by and watch. Even if their precious granddaughter screws up, as long as there’s no blood spilled, they won’t think it’s a big deal.”

I blurted out, “Wait, you mean that teahouse where I was—?”

“I’ve already had someone secure the teahouse’s security footage. Relax, the waitress may have run off, but the cameras caught her slipping something into your coffee. She won’t be able to escape this.”

I turned back to Edward. “But how do we prove Isabelle was the one pulling the strings? If we can’t track her down, the evidence just hits a dead end.”
