Chapter 1429

James turned, opened the car door, and sat inside.

Yet, he didn't start the car immediately, instead, he slowly rotated his phone in his hand.

Although he could tell Nick's words were deliberate earlier, something about them felt off.

James felt puzzled and finally looked up at the villa before starting the car and driving away.
