Chapter 656: Collateral

Meanwhile, in a bar in the red district of Anteca...

Finn sat on a stool at the bar counter, holding a glass of rum. He swirled the glass in his hand, his eyes fixed on it.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice as a woman sat in the chair beside him.

Hearing that, Finn couldn't help but chuckle, as that casual inquiry was exactly what was on his mind: Penny. That person was in his thoughts. freewebnovel.com

Slowly, Finn turned his head to catch sight of a beautiful woman in smart casual attire. "Cassandra."

"I heard that your fiancée broke off your engagement," Cassandra remarked, raising a finger at the bartender to order a cocktail. She fluttered her long eyelashes, her eyes falling on Finn. "It's sad news. Are you okay?"

"Is that a question out of pure concern, or was it meant to mock me?"

"Both." Cassandra shrugged. "You broke off our engagement, so hearing that you were dumped makes me happy."

Finn let out a chuckle, running his tongue across his cheek. "Did I break your heart that much?"

"Oh, you didn't. I'm grateful you broke off our engagement, but it still stings that, in the eyes of people, I'm the one who was dumped." Cassandra casually smacked her lips, smiling at the bartender as he served her a drink. "Thank you."

"I called you because I thought you'd take my mind off things tonight, but it seems that's not the case."

Cassandra laughed. "Sorry. I'm not available tonight."

"Why?"
