How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 394

Elodie couldn't help but find the whole thing rather absurd.

Now that Sylvie was in hot water, Jarrod was suddenly calling her himself— something he'd always gone out of his way to avoid. Normally, he'd have Keith reach out on his behalf, as if she might somehow get hold of his direct number and use it against him.

But now? All that caution had gone out the window.

It was obvious what he wanted-he was hoping she'd let the whole Sylvie situation slide. Frankly, Elodie couldn't even be bothered to entertain that kind of conversation.

"Who was that?" Esmeralda asked, frowning in confusion.

Alexander glanced over, waiting for an answer.

Elodie shrugged, as if it was no big deal. "Jarrod."

At the sound of his name, Esmeralda's temper flared. She slammed her hand on the table and shot up from her chair. "Of course he calls now! The moment VistaLink Technologies runs into trouble and you get dragged into a lawsuit by Neural Intelligence, does he check in? Did he ever even ask if you were okay?"
