Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 354:

On their ride home, Denver took the opportunity to learn more about the incident.

“Can you tell me what happened tonight? How did you injure your hand?”

Denver, still looking for more answers, asked, “How did you bump into Eric?”

Hadley hesitated.

“I really don’t know, Denver,” she said. “I bumped into him just as I was stepping out. Maybe he was there for dinner, just like you.” Given that Poseidon’s Realm was a popular spot for business, her explanation wasn’t out of the ordinary.
