How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 404

Chapter 404

Jarrod had clearly anticipated Elodie's request even before she voiced it.

He listened to her quietly, waiting a few moments before responding, his tone measured and calm. "Aside from that, you can ask for whatever you want."

A faint trace of irony curled at the edge of Elodie's lips. "That's all I want."

A silent standoff began, the tension so sharp that it prickled even across the phone line.

"The painting isn't in my possession," Jarrod said, his voice steady and unhurried. "And I can say for certain it's not with Sylvie or her people either. It was never mine to begin with, so I can't make that call."

She knew Jarrod well enough-he could be cold, but he rarely bothered to lie. If he or Sylvie had the painting, he'd simply tell her "no" or "that's not possible."

But now, her suspicions undeterred, Elodie pressed on. "Even if you did have it, you'd do whatever you could to protect their reputation."
