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.

Pondering, James reopened his phone, looked up Mirabella's number, and called her.

The phone connected quickly, but no one answered. It wasn't until the last ring that James hung up.

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

An hour after he got home, James picked up his phone to call again.

This time, the call wasn't unanswered; after two rings, it was abruptly hung up.
