The Moment I Realized I Can't Lose You novel Chapter 29

"Not feeling so tough now, are you?" Nora sneered, feeling incredibly vindicated as she watched the color drain from Harold's face. "Do you need me to jog your memory about what you tried to do to her earlier? You might be used to pushing around helpless girls, but did you really think you could mess with someone like her?"

She crossed her arms. "You were just bragging about how powerful your connections are and how we couldn't afford to offend you. Well, surprise! Her connection is her husband, Joaquin Judd! So tell us, who exactly is your powerful boss? Let's hear the name and see if her husband is scared of him!"

Harold swallowed hard, the silence stretching before he finally spoke. "I admit I have no right to cross Mr. Judd. But my patron is no lightweight either... He's actually friends with Mr. Judd."

He looked up, a desperate, pleading light in his eyes. "Mr. Judd, for the sake of your friendship with him, could you please let this slide?"

Joaquin raised an eyebrow. "And who exactly is this patron of yours?"

Harold took a deep breath and dropped the name. "Miles Foster."

"Miles Foster?" Joaquin's eyes shifted, locking coldly onto Audrey. "Your patron is Miles?"

Audrey frowned, immediately rejecting the idea. "Impossible."

There was absolutely no way a man like Miles would associate with a disgusting pig like this.

"Why is it impossible?" Joaquin asked, slipping his hands into his pockets as he stared down at Harold. "Tell us. What exactly is your relationship with him? Why would he protect you?"

The fat man bowed his head. "I... I procured a woman for him once. He kept her, and she ended up pregnant. I was the one who 'handled' the situation for him. As compensation, he told me that if I ever needed anything, I could use his name..."

Audrey’s brow furrowed deeper. The story sounded like utter garbage. She had only met Miles twice, but his gentlemanly nature was baked into his bones. He would never do something so vile.
