Chapter 590

"Mr. Casper just got caught up in a mess he should've avoided, but it'll blow over soon enough."

Eliza felt a sudden rush of panic.

What kind of mess had he gotten himself into? And just how soon was 'soon'?

Her heart raced with worry as she clung to Dillon's shirt, "Are you sure he's not in any real danger?"

"The folks from the President's office assured me he's safe."

"But can we really trust them?" She had watched too many shows where someone like Casper, stuck in the middle, ended up only one way. Dead.

Her heart clenched with anxiety.

The Christianson family was powerful, a force not to be trifled with. But could they really trust the President to be on the right side?

No, she still needed to see Casper.

"Can I see him?" Her fingers trembled slightly.

Dillon hadn't been able to see Casper either, leaving him unsure of what to say, "Ma'am..." he glanced at the phone she was gripping, "...it's hard to tell right now."

If Casper didn't reach out to them, there was no way they could get in touch with him.

With the President closing in, chances were slim that Casper would make contact at such a crucial moment.

No one could be certain.
