When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 621

Gregory laughed, “So that was the condition he laid out.”

“But what I’m really curious about is how he managed to blow up the place I was holding Mark.”

That place was abandoned, hardly anyone knew I was keeping someone there.

Josiah had to flee abroad for the Myers family fortune, leaving even Pearl behind. He wouldn’t have had time to arrange this.

“I promised Jane I’d be home for Thanksgiving, otherwise she’d just come running here without a second thought.”

Dailey agreed, “I’ll bring Pearl and Dorothy over.”

He couldn’t resist a tease, a rare chance to see Gregory in a tight spot.

But just as I was changing, Gregory called me on video.

I hurriedly accepted the call.
