The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 98

He reached for a second glass, but Finn quickly snatched the bottle away.

"Whoa, are you trying to end up in your own ER? What the hell triggered this?"

Jared immediately hit the nail on the head. "He looks exactly like he did ten years ago. I guarantee you this is a broken heart."

Finn's eyes widened. "Claire?"

At the sound of her name, Miles's jaw clenched tight enough to snap.

His absolute silence was all the confirmation they needed.

Jared was stunned. "No wonder I haven't seen her clinging to your side lately. She dumped you again?"

He clicked his tongue in disbelief. "This is wild. With your looks, your family's money, and your status, the line of women waiting for you stretches to Paris. Yet you got dumped a decade ago, and now you've been dumped again. These two women have terrible taste..."

"Hold up!" Finn suddenly yelled, a lightbulb going off in his head. He jumped up from the sofa.

"I remember now! Years ago, when Miles got blackout drunk and said some girl ruined him so badly he had to flee the country... her name was Claire Jenner!"

Jared's jaw practically hit the floor.

"Holy shit! So the freshman who used to write you all those love letters and drove you absolutely insane was Claire?!"

"No wonder she looked familiar."

Miles finally looked up, his voice practically grinding through his teeth.

"You two talk entirely too much."

His violent reaction only proved they were dead on.

Finn traced the rim of his glass, his expression turning sharp and cynical.

"The exact same woman played the most arrogant guy we know twice. This Claire is incredibly dangerous."

He narrowed his eyes, pivoting to business. "The final designs for Crescent Moon Couture are still under review. You want me to make things difficult for her?"
