The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 53

An unknown number, but that voice... it was definitely that bastard Jonah.

She sneered silently, crossing her legs as she prepared for battle.

"Speaking. Who's this?"

"It's Jonah Granger."

"Oh, and who exactly is Jonah Granger?"

"..."

Jonah frowned deeply, unsure if this Miss Jones was playing dumb on purpose. After a moment, he replied, "Vivian's boyfriend, Jonah Granger."

"Oh..." Chloe drew out the syllable meaningfully. "So it's the great Dr. Granger. What kind of freak storm blew through today to make you call me?"

At this point, Jonah was absolutely certain that this woman knew where Vivian was.

Suppressing his fury, he asked in a low voice, "I wanted to ask you, Miss Jones, where is Vivian?"

"How should I know?"

Chloe bounced her foot lightly. "You're asking the wrong person."

"Miss Jones..." Jonah was practically grinding his teeth, though he kept his tone reasonably polite. "I can't find Vivian right now. Could I trouble you to contact her for me? I will make it well worth your while."

Who the hell wants your reward?

Pfft.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I really don't know. But a couple of days ago, she did tell me a story. Something about a sister stealing her older sister's boyfriend, and the boyfriend helping the sister try to kill her..."

"Ugh, maybe the story was just too touching, and she couldn't take it anymore."

Listening to the exaggerated tone coming through the phone, Jonah's breathing grew heavier.

Vivian...

She really did know everything.
