Chapter 76
"For like twenty minutes-yes. She shrugged. "Hold on, am I in trouble for staying in your room? I mean, it isn't the first time I've been there." She raised her brows. Westley's stare lingered on her for a while before he smiled. "Of course. You're welcome to any part of my home." He moved forward, pulling her into a hug. Sylvie breathed in relief. God, that was close. She hoped he didn't suspect anything.
The chef finished cooking and they had dinner together when it was time. Westley talked about work as well as some funny events that had taken place. Sylvie didn't tell him about Kage. The last thing she wanted was to give him hope that he had a good chance with her since the Hawkins were against her relationship with Kage. Because honestly, she wasn't sure she could end up with Westley anymore-not with what she knew about him. "By the way, I'll be resuming the case with the Group next week," Westley said during their conversation. "I decided to be considerate and let Kage enjoy his wedding and honeymoon before I strike."

Westley was surprised. "Wow. You're taking his side again."
"I am not taking anybody's side!" She half-yelled. "Okay?! I'm just trying to put an end to this madness! You've been playing a very dangerous game, Wes! Paul is already dead for it. You got into an accident because of..." "What do you mean Paul is already dead for it?" He cut her off.

e blinked, realizing her tongue had slipped. God-dammit.
"Paul was killed at the party." Her voice was strained as she spoke, her eyes down on her plate. "It was a party where most of the guests were from the Group. Don't you think anyone who might have killed him was from the Group? "Okay... Let's say that's true. So, why were you linking it to me?"
She was speechless. No better excuse came to mind.
"I'm talking to you."
"I don't know, Wes!" She raised her voice a notch. "All I know is, things have been messy since you started challenging Kage." "Challenging Kage? He took what was mine!"
"But the land wasn't properly secured. You and your family were careless about it, and as a businessman, he took the

"Wow." He laughed. "Look at you-defending your ex-husband. Isn't that sweet?"
Sylvie frowned at the implication. "I am not defending anyone. Tam simply stating facts."
