Chapter 611 He Deserved This

Ryan looked away. ‘The door was ajar.’

‘So you heard,’ Kira said.

‘Just snippets.’

‘Could you keep this between us?’

‘You don’t want me to tell Austyn?’ Ryan looked at her.

‘I don’t want him to worry.’

Ryan pondered it, then he nodded. ‘Okay.’

‘Thank you.’

Ryan drove her home.

Austyn was back.

He seemed to have turned the balcony into an open-air office.

He was standing there right now, talking on the phone.

‘Don’t ease up…final nail in the coffin…Make sure he stays down…I’ll keep the Garner family off your back…’

The early morning sun slanted into the living room.

Austyn’s head was surrounded by a warm, yellow halo.

Ryan left quietly.

Kira stood in the living room, eavesdropping openly.

Austyn turned around.

Their eyes met.

Austyn kept his impassive gaze on her face as he listened to Liam’s lazy voice on the phone.
