Marry into Money by Accident novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Meanwhile, it took a lot of convincing from Lianne to talk Tyler and Sierra out of making her stay the night at the hospital.

As Lianne hopped on a ride to get home, Sierra nagged, “Dang, Gummy. You might look fine on the surface, but what if you have internal bleeding? I went out of my way to get you some essentials, but you still wouldn’t stay at the hospital for observation.”

Lianne gave Sierra a squeeze on the face. “I’m fine. There is no place like home. I’ve been away for six weeks and barely caught any sleep. I really miss my bed.”

Tyler clutched the steering wheel, still shaken by the accident. He said, “You were lucky tonight. Any closer, and we might have never seen you again.”

After their dinner at a restaurant, Tyler went to the parking lot to bring the car around while Sierra went to the bathroom. Lianne stood outside the restaurant waiting for them when a car came crashing toward her.

Thank goodness for Lianne’s quick reflexes. She swiftly jumped behind a tree, dodging the fatal crash. Still, she fell and scraped her elbow.

The car rammed into the tree, wrecking its body and causing the driver to knock his head and bleed profusely. He owed his life to the paramedics who sprang into action to provide medical

care.

A phone notification interrupted their conversation. Lianne grabbed her phone and saw the text message from Morgan.

Lianne could not believe her eyes when she read the part about Zane’s wife cheating.

On second thought, Lianne figured there was a possibility.

Zane’s facial lines used to often soften at the mention of his wife, but now, no one was allowed to speak of her.

Lianne sighed and said, “Ty, can you drop me off outside Bare as you drive by?”

Sierra asked, “Why? Are you going to be a chauffeur for that bossy boss of yours?”

Lianne grinned. “I’m his personal assistant, so it’s expected of me.”

“Once we get the money from the licensing fees, you can quit since it’s a great paycheck,” Tyler tried to persuade Lianne. However, knowing her, she needed a job to feel secure.

As her best friends, they would support her work no matter what. “We’ll go with you. You can take him home, and we will go home from there.”

“It’s part of my job. You can’t always be with me. Don’t worry. I’m like an infested cockroach. You can’t kill me.” Lianne patted them on the shoulder.

Not wanting to put a lot of pressure on Lianne, they did not insist on accompanying her. They dropped her off at the entrance of Bare and watched as she entered the premises before driving

away.

Lianne easily found her way to Zane and his buddy’s room.

Morgan looked at her with a radiant smile. He spread his arms apart to give her a hug. “Ms. Simpson, long time no see. I missed you.”

“Hello, Mr. Quay.” Lianne turned to the side to avoid body contact with him while scanning the room. Morgan was the only person in the space. “Did you lie to me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Morgan pointed at the balcony.

Lianne turned her gaze over and found Zane on the phone. She had not caught him there earlier because the balcony was unlit.
