The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 32

Rebecca seamlessly brushed aside the interruption. “Let’s get back to business.”

Odom could tell from her tone that she wasn’t ready to take Neely on as her right-hand man, at least not yet. With a quiet sigh, he sent Neely away on some errand, then turned to Rebecca and brought up the fire at Aurelia Clinic.

“Rebecca, the hospital’s records were all destroyed in the fire, but after asking around, I managed to find something. The clerk in charge of those files now works as an archive manager at Vantage Point University. When you go there, be careful. I’ve got a bad feeling about that place.”

Rebecca was surprised to hear that the university she’d only recently decided to attend was somehow connected to that old fire. This… was interesting. She’d have to move up her enrollment.

“Noted,” she replied.

After dinner, Odom insisted on driving Rebecca back to her hotel. She gave in, not really in the mood to argue.

As Odom held the door open for her, they both heard Paulina’s voice close by.

“We’ll leave it to Shirley, then. Here’s a small thank-you gift. Please take it,” Paulina said.

With Sophia beside her, Paulina politely handed over a check, expressing her gratitude yet again.

The second Harriet saw the amount, her eyes lit up. She nodded quickly, looking more than pleased. “Don’t worry. If Shirley speaks up, Mr. White will definitely help out.”

The restaurant’s split-level layout and their spot on the upper floor happened to give Odom a clear view of Paulina’s group in the hallway. He recognized Harriet and Shirley right away and immediately exchanged a look with Rebecca.

“Rebecca, we know these people,” he murmured.

Rebecca walked over without missing a beat, arriving just as Shirley carefully slipped the check into her purse. Rebecca recognized the check. Twenty million—Sophia’s “wedding gift,” the money meant for Jennifer.
