Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 247

Night fell, and the streets of Riverton were a sea of headlights under the glittering skyline.

Dante Hayes stood with his back to the door, staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows.

With one arm crossed over his chest and his other hand resting against his chin, his tall, broad-shouldered silhouette radiated a freezing, unapproachable aura.

He gazed into the distance, his dark eyes unfocused, lost in whatever occupied his mind.

Silas Vance stood quietly behind him, not daring to make a sound.

After a long time, Dante finally spoke in a low voice, "Has she called?"

He was absolutely certain that by now, Quinn Yates had realized he had blacklisted her from every law firm in Riverton, leaving no one willing to take her divorce case.

She didn't even have a defense attorney.

He believed that, backed into a corner, she would have no choice but to obediently surrender to him.

Instead, Silas replied from behind him.

"No, Mr. Hayes. As of right now, she hasn't reached out to me once."

Dante stiffened by the window.

The last flicker of hope in his eyes extinguished, replaced by a dark, sinister chill.

The temperature in the room plummeted alongside his mood.

He had thought that once she hit a dead end, her stubborn attitude would falter, but he was wrong.

She would rather hit a brick wall at every turn and risk losing the case entirely than lower her head and show him any weakness.

"Good. Very good."

A low, icy chuckle rolled from Dante's throat. "She's certainly got a spine!"

She was so stubborn it bordered on heartless, completely ignoring the immense pressure he was putting on her.

He reached up and yanked roughly at his tie. "If she won't come begging now, she never has to come to me again!"

Meanwhile, at Lunas Crest.
