Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1542

Henry was not having it when his mom clamped a hand over his mouth. He yanked at her fingers and, in his tiny, stubborn voice, yelled, "Poopy weirdo!"

You have to understand, the last time he picked up a phrase "Check, please!"— from his dad, he paraded it around the house for two whole days. Now, he'd finally learned something new, and he wasn't about to let it go to waste.

Andre couldn't help but be a little impressed by his son's tenacity.

"Weapons?" Annie shot a look at her sister.

Maja's gaze slipped away, not daring to glance at the necklace around Annie's neck. "No weapons," she replied, a little too quickly.

Miles edged closer, voice clipped. "Ms. Maja, we're all on the clock here. Let's cut to the chase."

Andre turned, keeping a close eye on the trio, while quietly assessing the room, piecing things together behind his calm expression.

"Ms. Maja, whatever was hidden under your engagement ring-where did it end up?"

There'd been a tiny compartment hidden under Maja's ring, revealed when it got scorched in the fire. But now, it was empty.

Miles knew she'd moved the secret, but where to? That was the million-dollar question.
