Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 953

Mira wasn't buying it. "Who's marrying you? I'm not tying the knot until after graduation."

Owen thought of Eleanor and decided not to argue. He smiled, his gaze returning to the documents.

Eleanor wanted Mira to get married soon, worried she wouldn't live to see the day.

Owen figured Mira wouldn't have the heart to reject her grandmother when the time came.

"What are you smiling about? Plotting something?" Mira shot him a wary look.

Owen quickly defended himself. "I'm a saint. Why would I plot anything?"

He felt a twinge of guilt. Worried she'd see right through him, he quickly turned his head away.

Mira let it slide. "Back to work."

An hour later, they finally stepped away from their screens to grab a snack and take a breather.

"What's the situation with Lawrence?" Mira asked.

"What else? Still sitting in a holding cell. Jocelyn has been running around frantically, hiring lawyers, pulling strings, and trying to crash my grandfather's hospital room. But I stationed guards. They haven't gotten anywhere near the old man."

"Do you think they'll manage to bail Lawrence out?" Mira asked.

"Yes. He didn't physically throw the switch. At worst, he's the mastermind; at best, he just instigated it. The worker who actually threw the switch is the one facing a lethal sentence."

Just because someone told you to kill, would you? If they told you to die, would you?

That made the worker the primary culprit. Word was he had racking gambling debts and accepted a million-dollar payout from Lawrence.

He followed Lawrence's orders, gambling on the chance he wouldn't get caught.

"As for Lawrence, as long as he's not facing a death sentence, Richard will shell out a massive bail. He should be out soon," Owen said nonchalantly.
