Chapter 955: Poppy’s Accident

On their way back, Jared received a call from Hayden, saying there was an issue at the estate in the suburbs and that Jared should come to check it out.

Tina was driving since Jared had been drinking earlier that afternoon. She asked for the location, planning to drop him off there before heading back to the Pace family estate. Jared, however, didn't agree. The suburb was far, and more importantly, the place was being renovated as a surprise for Tina. If she saw it beforehand, the surprise would be ruined. In the end, Jared told Hayden to pick him up instead.

When Hayden arrived, he looked visibly annoyed, his face sullen, and dark circles under his eyes. He got out of the car and headed straight for the driver's side.

"Jared, you're doing this on purpose. Don't think for a second that-Serena!"

Tina turned to look at him calmly.

Hayden swallowed hard, his earlier aggressive demeanor vanishing instantly. "Serena? How come it's you? I thought..."

Jared was lazily reclining in the passenger seat, his eyes narrowed as he glanced over. "And if it were me? What would you do? Kill me on the spot?"

Hayden froze, speechless.

Even if he had such a thought, he didn't have the ability to act on it. Besides, with Serena present, he wouldn't dare lift a finger. If he tried, Serena would probably ensure his ashes were put to good use. Hayden forced a laugh. "Haha, as if I'd dare."

Tina smirked faintly. "Hayden, make sure you do your job well."

Hayden felt a shiver run down his spine.

Did Serena know something? Otherwise, why did this couple sound so perfectly in sync?

After dropping Jared off, Tina turned the car around and started heading toward the Pace family estate.

Once Tina was gone, Hayden's expression changed immediately. He tossed the car keys to Jared. "You drive. I need some sleep."

Jared gave him a cold glance. "If I could drive, would I have asked you to come pick me up?"

Hayden froze and looked him over. "Since when have you had trouble with your legs?"

Jared didn't respond, his expression darkening.
