Chapter 37

Black smoke billowed from the front of her car, and she couldn't help but think about online videos of cars exploding after an accident. Was she going to die there today? But how could she die when Hayden still wasn't free? With Xavier's temper in mind, Lily wasn't confident whether Xavier would continue the lawsuit in Hayden's defense if she were dead.
