Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Its me.

Her tension instantly dissolved at the sound of Alyans voice.

She sat up straighter, her heart picking up speed.

Alyan, do you have any news? Ive made contact with someone local.

His name is Eason Adams.

He said hes willing to talk.

Whens a good time for you? Ill arrange it.noveldrama

The sooner, the better.

Would tonight be convenient? Time was slipping through their fingers, and with each passing night, the risk of complications grew.

If Hollis managed to move the hostages secretly, the trail could go cold, and they would be frustrated again. Got it.

Ill reach out to him now and confirm, Alyan_ responded before quickly ending the call.

Lucinda exhaled sharply, pacing briefly before heading down the hallway to Dulcies room.

She knocked on the door.

Dulcie, its me.

The door creaked open, revealing Dulcies concerned face.

Are we leaving now? she asked, already sensing what Lucindas unexpected visit at this hour meant.

Alyan mustve found something.

Not just yet, Lucinda said.

I came to give you a heads-up.

This Eason character was still unknown, and Lucinda worried that if he had anything in common with Hollis, trouble could come to Dulcie again.

Although Lucinda was the more striking of the two, she had a layer of protection-her marriage to Nathan was well-known, and no one in their right mind would dare cross him.

Dulcie, however, was a different story.

Her marital status was a mystery, and in this dangerous game, that made her a potential target.

Fifteen minutes later, Dulcies transformation was complete.

Lucinda had worked quickly, tying Dulcies blonde hair into a tight braid.

A pair of oversized black-framed glasses rested on her face, the plain lenses casting a dullness over Dulcies usually vibrant eyes.

Lucinda had even gone so far as to dot freckles across Dulcies cheeks, in an attempt to alter her whole appearance.

She now looked like a naive village girl. Staring in the mirror, Dulcie barely recognized the woman gazing back.

Lucinda smiled, satisfied with the result.

There, now you look Like a proper diplomat.

As soon as she finished speaking, Alyan called.

Eason and I have arranged to meet at your hotel tonight.

Nine oclock sharp.

Ill bring him there shortly.

Lucinda blinked, momentarily caught off guard.

Eason, agreeing to meet here? That was quite unexpected.

Why would Eason, a local gang leader, agree to meet on their turf?
