Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 300

Vespera sat down, resigned to her fate.

Rebecca, as the host, welcomed everyone.

Thankfully, Dominic didn't call Vespera by her nickname again. He'd returned to his usual cold and distant demeanor.

Midway through dinner, Rebecca brought up the Tina situation.

"I heard from Vera that the Sowle family found some powerful allies. I called Mrs. Cruz and the others yesterday to warn them to stay alert."

Calvert, hearing this, chimed in. "You don't need to worry. I just got back from Ashford. Whoever the Sowles brought in didn't do much, Tina's already confessed. She's being held in detention."

He'd actually driven back to Ashford the same night they returned to Halewick.

Dominic had told him to keep an eye on things and even asked him to assign a few people to look after the Sinclair siblings.

But personally, he didn't think Austin was foolish enough to go down the path of murder.

Still, based on how concerned Dominic and Vespera seemed, clearly, they didn't trust that woman.

Rebecca pressed further, "When you say 'didn't do much,' do you mean she didn't help at all, or that she tried and failed?"

"She met with Tina once, then left," Calvert replied. "Didn't do anything. My guess is she couldn't help even if she wanted to. I mean, the case is airtight. Unless they're planning a jailbreak, what else can they do?"

"So, that woman isn't as dangerous as we thought, huh?"

Calvert shrugged. "I didn't see anything impressive about her. Oh, right, she came to Halewick the same day we did."

Vespera frowned. "You said she came to Halewick?"

"Yeah, she's staying in a hotel now."

"Could she be here trying to think of new ways to help Tina? What about Austin? Did he come too?"

"Nope. He's still in Ashford. Looks like he's given up on Tina. He's focused on saving Mrs. Sowle now."

That made both Vespera and Rebecca breathe easier.

Maybe they had been overthinking things. Everything seemed under control.

Austin was smart. He must've realized that for Tina, the only place left to maneuver was in court. Any other tricks wouldn't help.

Claire's situation, on the other hand, might still be salvageable.
