No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 745

Dustin, fully aware of Ernest's true identity, still chose to let him go. It was clearly a test.

"What plans does Ernest have?" I asked.

I didn't really need Grant to tell me; I already knew. Ernest had been lying low, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. This time, he would definitely cooperate.

As for Dustin, he probably wanted to use this chance to eliminate Ernest completely. It was going to be a showdown between the two of them.

"He told me to tell you not to worry about him. He remembers everything he promised you," Grant conveyed the message, acting as the go-between.

Ernest didn't come himself, probably to avoid the emotional farewells and the worries that come with parting face-to-face.

Since I was his unresolved issue, I decided to let him focus on his mission. I nodded at Grant, "Alright, let him handle his business. I can't stay here forever either. It's safe, but so dull that I'm afraid it will drive me crazy." "You're thinking of going out?" Grant understood my hint right away.

"Yeah, the food here leaves much to be desired," I complained.

Grant chuckled, "Alright, I'll pass on your message. But whether he agrees to let you out is not up to me."
