Chapter 733

Sullivan's expression was impassive, as if the drama unfolding before him was no more than a faint breeze rustling through the leaves of an indifferent world.

He instructed the two burly bodyguards dressed in their dark suits to escort Stephanie and Emily back to their hotel, while he himself waited for the ambulance to arrive. Observing the driver being whisked away for emergency care, Sullivan eventually returned to his own hotel room to catch some sleep.

But no sooner had he drifted off than a rapping at the door jolted him awake.

Groggy and disoriented, Sullivan staggered to the door and swung it open to reveal a disheveled little girl in pajamas, barefoot, clutching a teddy bear to her chest as she stood on the threshold, a pout adorning her face. "Sullivan, I need a place to crash."

"Huh?"

"Stephanie got totally wasted... made a huge mess, and I called Alison to come clean it up. She's gonna bunk with her for the night, and now I've got nowhere to sleep."

In truth, she could have curled up on the couch or even crashed in Alison's room.

But there was something about Sullivan, something familiar that resonated with her, and Emily felt a pull to be near him. Almost on instinct, she had run down to find him. Sullivan frowned. "I'm not in the business of babysitting, kid."

"I don't need anybody to babysit me; I'm super chill when I sleep."
