After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 673

Chapter 673 Meet

James furrowed his brow, puzzled. He thought, "Didn't Erik say he'd be detained as soon as he crossed the border? How did he manage to get back?"

Erik said, "I told you that woman had her ways, but she only promised to help my mother and me return after Chloe was dealt with."

Erik had followed the woman's instructions because she had managed to get him back to his country.

He trusted her completely, believing that once Chloe was out of the picture, he and his mother could go home.

"Do you even know that your brother is looking for you?" Michael's voice cut through the tension.

"I don't have a brother," Erik said with a bitter laugh.

He had never considered William to be his brother; they were total strangers.

In fact, Erik thought that if it weren't for their striking resemblance, the two wouldn't have found him so easily.

Michael's eyes were steely. "You mentioned contacting her by phone. So, call her now."

Erik froze.

James, seeing his reluctance, tightened his grip on the gun. "Think carefully. Do you want to save your own life, or protect a woman whose identity you don't even know?"

Erik, knowing he'd choose his own life, gestured toward his phone in his pocket.

James retrieved the phone, located the single call log, and dialed without hesitation.

James instructed, "Tell her you've taken care of Chloe, but you need to meet her in person. Otherwise, you'll go to the police and spill everything."

Erik's eyes widened in disbelief.

He thought, "Is he out of his mind? I won't turn myself in!"

But James raised an eyebrow; his gun still pointed unwaveringly at Erik's forehead.

Erik, trapped, saw the call connect. A voice crackled through the line. "Didn't I tell you not to contact me unless it was an emergency? What's up?"
