Chapter 591

Suddenly, Dillon yanked her to the side, pulling her into a hidden corner.

Eliza was caught off guard. "What's going on?" she whispered, her voice laced with confusion.

"Shh," Dillon cautioned.

It wasn't Casper who appeared but a group of men who looked like guards. It was clear now-their meeting spot had been compromised.

Once the men left, Dillon quickly led Eliza to the car. "We've got to bail on this meeting. It's too risky. Let's head back."

"No, I won't go back," Eliza insisted, her voice edged with desperation. "Casper must be in danger. How else would anyone know about our secret spot?"

That was precisely why they couldn't linger. Dillon was set on getting Eliza to safety first. He knew Casper, even in danger, could fend for himself.
