Chapter 615: Is All the Danger Over?

Jasmine gave Ethan a long, helpless smile.

Finally, the crowd they were mingling with drifted away, and Jasmine let out a big sigh of relief.

"Jasmine, am I really that irresistible? You've been eyeing me all night," Ethan teased, raising an eyebrow.

Jasmine laughed. "If I wasn't here keeping an eye on you, there'd be plenty of women trying to eat you alive."

Jasmine was freaked out; those women looked at Ethan like he was a piece of meat. A guy who was hot, smart, and loaded? Total danger zone.

Ethan grinned. "You're the only one I want."

Jasmine rolled her eyes.

Ethan's phone buzzed; it was Raymond.

"Yo, what's up?"

"I'm at the warehouse. Mark's a tough nut to crack. We've been working him over all night, and he hasn't spilled a thing," Raymond's voice was low. "But he's definitely hiding something. No regular guy could hold out this long. He's protecting Claire like crazy, cutting out all the dirt on her from the video, but it's not 'cause he's in love with her."

"There's gotta be someone pulling his strings," Ethan muttered.

Maybe Howard had been a target all along.

There was always a bigger fish. Howard thought he was the puppet master, not realizing he was the puppet.

From Mark cozying up to Howard to Claire and Howard's first meet, it was probably all part of someone's plan.

"Don't wait for all the pieces. Report Howard to the police now," Ethan said, frowning.

He was worried the longer they waited, the messier things could get.

"Got it, I'll hand it over to the cops right away."

After hanging up, Ethan took Jasmine's hand. "Richard and the crew are here; we should bounce."

Jasmine nodded.
