Chapter 1712

As Jaime stepped into the main hall, he caught the butler's words, "So, the girl's not here?" He squinted slightly, clearly not buying it.

The old butler nodded with respect. "Yes, sir. But Miss Mira only stepped out a few minutes ago. You probably passed by Grady's car just now."

Jaime thought back to when he was outside, remembering Grady's car. He hadn't seen inside clearly, but there was definitely someone in the back seat.

That must have been Keir's little niece.

Jaime twirled a rosary bead between his fingers. No wonder Grady was so cool about it when Jaime mentioned wanting to meet the girl-he didn't even flinch.

"Where's Keir off to?" Jaime switched the subject.

The butler dipped his head slightly and replied calmly, "I'm not sure, sir. If you need something urgent, you might want to call Keir."

Jaime glanced around the room before sinking into the sofa. "No big deal. I've got nothing pressing today."
