Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 400
Jay sat in silence, listening as Owen cursing the bandit who had dared to cross him.
Ever since Owen had fallen for Ms. Yates, he had become more human, more down-to-earth.
The power of love, it seemed, could truly change a man.
When Owen finally ran out of steam, Jay ventured to ask, "Sir, do you want to go after the bandit?"
"Spread the word that I was attacked and injured by a bandit. The scoundrel will turn himself in."
Given Owen's reputation, the mere hint of his involvement in the bandit's capture could send the rogue running to the sheriff's office, saving them the trouble of a manhunt. "And replace the streetlights in that alley, they're too dim."
Cecilia's route home was a dangerous one. It gave Owen an excuse to escort her every day, but he couldn't ignore the problem forever.
"Look into the bandit. If he doesn't turn himself in, we'll take him to the sheriff ourselves."
"Understood."
With his orders given, Owen ended the call.
Recalling the detective agency's report from the previous evening, he retrieved it from his desk and settled down on the sofa.
"Arno, let's see what kind of saint you are, hiding your secrets even from me."
Sarcasm laced Owen's words as he pulled out the report on Avery and began to read.
After finishing, he rose abruptly, forgoing even a change of clothes, and headed out the door.
