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.

For some reason, I just felt that Mark, that sewer rat, wouldn’t die so easily.

“I’m still looking into it, but Mark’s definitely not making it out alive. That chemical plant’s a ruin now. The guys you had on watch didn’t survive, and he was still locked up. Unless he’s some sort of immortal being, especially since we’ve got his DNA proof.”

Gregory decided to shelf his doubts for the moment, “You need to come over.”

“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.

“How’s it feel to be a hostage?”

Gregory, always too prideful, as if he had no kin. Could such a childish scheme even touch him?

“Not bad, got my booze and steak, and a bunch of guys to ease my muscles.”

Christine, trying to distract me, took me out shopping to find some inspiration for a gown design.

I really didn’t want to go, but couldn’t withstand her persistent coaxing.

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