“What?”

Hadley blinked, taken off guard by the unexpected question.

“Tell me.” Eric’s voice was firm, his gaze momentarily flicking toward the roadside where a silver–gray luxury car came to a halt, Denver preparing to step out.

Eric nodded, his expression unreadable as he processed her answer. As Denver walked over, Eric started his car

Instead of acknowledging Denver, Hadley stared at the back of Eric’s car, puzzled by his strange behavior.

Meanwhile, Phillips had made some headway in his investigation into Blanche.
