The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: A Glimpse of Her

Landon stepped out of the car; his tall frame shadowed against the sleek car. He adjusted his coat with an effortless flick of his hands, she remembered too well.

Lucy’s breath hitched, panic clawing at her chest.

No. He can’t be back!

Landon should still be in Virela City after visiting Auramont. She confirmed it with Mrs. Baker; he had been there.

If her guess was right, he should stay there for a bit longer to investigate her life there. This would then buy her a lot of time to finish up her plans. In addition, she made sure that they wouldn’t meet so soon.

Then what the hell was going on here?

Why is Landon standing in front of her?!

Her mind scrambled for answers, for reasons why he might have returned early. Was he into her plan? No, no one knows what she planned to do. She didn’t even discuss everything with Vanessa.

Did he return because he discovered she was here?

Lucy thought of Kai and cursed immediately. They only met last night. Why did he have to say something to Landon?

Though she suspected Kai was the one who told Landon, Lucy still had some doubts.

Across the building, Lucy watched as another car pulled up.

Landon fixed his eyes on the skyscraper in front of him. Westwood Group belonged to his family, and he was the one publicly acknowledged to rule over it. However, he knew that his grandfather still had overall control and he could easily give it to his uncle.

It angered and frustrated him that his grandfather still thought of giving it to his uncle, who was nothing but a scourge who wanted to misuse the family assets.

He shook his thoughts away. There was no time to think over something that was already out of his control. He should think of the mountain of work awaiting him in his office.

The brisk air hit his face as he finally took his first step toward the building. He barely had time to take another step before the sound of tires screeching to a halt sounded behind him.

The moment Yvonne stepped out of the car, Landon’s eyes narrowed into a look of impatience.

When is she giving up? Landon coldly thought as irritation arose within him.

"Landon!" Yvonne approached him briskly.

"Why can’t you get it through your head, Yvonne?" Landon’s voice cut through the morning chill. "Stop following me. Whatever you think is between us—it’s over. It’s been over for a long time."

His words dripped with cold, stinging finality, and Yvonne’s face crumbled for a brief second before she masked her pain. But her tears continued to fill her eyes.

They were outside the Westwood Group, and many people were watching them. Can’t he speak a bit softer to her? This was extremely humiliating!
