Chapter XXX:

Alex’s hand, hidden in the shadows, slowly curled into a clenched fist. What exactly was Noah playing at with this cryptic visit and vague remarks? Had he found something out, or was he fishing, hoping to shake something loose?

Noah’s smile deepened with deliberate ease, his gaze locked onto Alex with quiet intensity. “Not even going to offer me a seat, Mr. Howe?”

Alex’s lips held their curve, but a chill flickered behind his eyes. Something was off about Noah—his presence, his words, his calm confidence. What on earth was he up to?
