The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 642

The news caught me completely off guard.

Just the day before yesterday, Officer West had told me they didn't have a single solid lead on Clint Lathan.

I knew for a fact that Clint was working for the Thorne family. There was no way the Thornes would let him get caught so easily. Even if the police found a trace of him, the Thornes would have silenced him immediately. How was he captured alive?

But Officer West wouldn't make a mistake about something this massive. After a brief moment of shock, I replied, "I'll head over as soon as my shift ends."

As I was waiting for the elevator after work, I bumped into Leon Lennox. He was on the phone, looking frantic. "Bianca, please don't do this. Wait for me, I'm coming to see you right now."

He looked incredibly anxious. The moment he hung up, he rushed into the elevator, head down, furiously typing out a text. He didn't even realize I was standing right next to him.

Seeing how preoccupied he was, I didn't want to bother him. I figured I'd say hi once he was done texting, but Leon remained completely oblivious to my presence all the way down to the basement parking level.

He practically sprinted out of the elevator, dialing another number. "Bianca, be reasonable. Please don't do anything rash. I'm almost there."

Clearly, there was an emergency, though I had no idea who this Bianca was.

I watched him drive off, totally abandoning my plan to greet him.

"Curious about who Bianca is?" a soft voice suddenly murmured right by my ear, perfectly echoing my internal thoughts.

I spun around to see Caspian stepping out from behind me, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "I'm starting to get jealous, Selena. You were staring at Leon so intently that you didn't even notice me standing right behind you."
