Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 414

Linton's gaze remained downcast, his expression of self-loathing deepening. He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse. "I had a chance to take him down for good before the New Year."

"I was just about to wrap things up, but then something happened. I was unconscious for too long, which gave him an opportunity to flee the country, regroup, and stage a comeback."

Hearing this, Gabriel slowly released his grip on Linton's collar, his eyes darkening.

He had heard about this from his mother.

Apparently, in a desperate attempt to win Liliana back, the man had climbed into her window in the middle of the night. After being cruelly rejected, he had become suicidal and, overwhelmed by emotion, jumped from the building.

Gabriel looked at him with an indescribable expression.

He really didn't know what to think.

One was his own sister, and the other was this man in front of him, a despondent wreck who looked like a shell of his former self.

In his entire life…

He had never despised people ruled by their emotions more than he did right now!

Gabriel's head began to throb.

"I told you to clean up the mess you made."

"If you dare let Liliana get into any danger…"

Gabriel paused, a sudden realization dawning on him.

Linton seemed to realize something at the same moment.

They looked at each other, a shared, terrifying suspicion in their eyes. Without another word, they both scrambled back into the car.

Linton's face was etched with anxiety as he said hoarsely, "Gabriel, hurry home!"

Gabriel's expression was just as grim.

He slammed his foot on the accelerator and gritted his teeth. "You don't have to tell me."

Ignoring the blaring horns of police cars, Gabriel sped back toward the Hart villa.

Liliana also turned to look, asking curiously, "Brother, is a ghost chasing you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

It was a rare sight.

Whether in front of strangers or family, Gabriel was always the picture of calm composure. It was almost unheard of to see him so agitated and flustered.

Liliana and Mrs. Hart exchanged puzzled glances, completely bewildered.

What was going on during the holidays?

Gabriel's frantically beating heart began to slow down. He took a shallow breath, his expression hardening as he was about to speak.

Just then, the police officer appeared, escorting a slightly awkward-looking Linton. The officer addressed Gabriel sternly.

"Sir, you were speeding through the city just now. You were well over the speed limit, endangering public safety."

"I'll have to ask both of you to come down to the station with me!"
