Chapter 223 Wishing You a Happy Engagement
During this period, Peyton also thought about asking Dwayne out to continue the investigation through
him.
But she was also afraid of alerting the enemy, so she didnât take any action.
I didnât expect Dwayne to come to her on his own.
Peyton pressed the connect button, âHello, Dwayne.â
âMs. Schmitt, where are you now? I have a lead on Leilani that you asked me to help you find earlier!â
Dwayneâs voice was extremely anxious, making it impossible to detect any hint of pretense.
Peyton asked tentatively, âWhat clue?â
âLeilaniâs phone before her passing was simply shattered. I remember you were interested, so I wanted
to ask if you wanted it?â
âI heard that her previous house had already been rented out to someone else. Her body was retrieved
from the sea. Where did this. phone come from? Since itâs already broken, Dwayne, how can you be
sure it belongs to Leilani?â
Peyton had a clear mind and quickly asked the key points.
Dwayne thought that she would be excited as soon as she heard this clue, but he didnât expect Peyton
to find the flaw so quickly.
While he was stuttering, Peyton said, âDwayne, I donât know what
your intentions are, but you are a person my father personally
supported. Without my father, there wouldnât be you today. I donât expect you to repay the favor, but at
least donât turn around and hurt us.â
There came a light laughter from the other end of the phone.
âYou indeed have discovered it.â
Peyton remembered what Phillip had said. Donât take action easily, wait for him to come back.
Today, Nolan got engaged. What did the other person want to do by tempting her at this time?
âDwayne, I donât know who you are, but you should have a conscience. If youâre in it for the money, as
long as you choose to work with me, I
can give you double, or even more, the amount.â
âAlright, you come to Molly Coffee, and weâll have a good chat.â
âI couldnât go today as I had something to do. If you really have any clues, letâs arrange a time to meet.
As for the reward, itâs up to you to decide.â
âIt seems like you wouldnât come out.â
âSorry.â
âThereâs nothing more to say then. Ms. Schmitt, you couldnât escape.â
Peyton wanted to say something more, but the other person had already hung up the phone. Peyton
closed their eyes, realizing that everything couldnât be hidden anymore.
The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to engage in a direct confrontation with her, and today they
have already torn their faces
part.
Peyton was helpless, why did it have to be today.
She vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
Even though she had already quit and distanced herself from Nolanâs life, why wouldnât that person
give up?
Fortunately, before leaving, Phillip had arranged other people to protect Kason, although the salary was
a bit expensive, but at least it was safe.
Kason was not expected to encounter any trouble for the time being, but instead, she became the one
in danger.
The bait thrown by Dwayne, Peyton did not take the bait, so there will definitely be another one.
Unfortunately, she had to undergo surgery today.
What should I do?
Peyton stared at the door, always feeling that there was danger lurking behind it.
Her palms were unknowingly filled with sweat.
She took out her phone and instinctively wanted to find someone.
Even she didnât realize that the first call she made was to Nolan.
Itâs over.
She quickly pressed the end button.
One second before hanging up, his clear voice came through the phone.
Nolan actually answered the phone immediately!
âHello,â a deep voice resonated in Peytonâs car.
Peyton was stunned, never expecting him to answer her call on a day
like this.
After a long silence, the person opposite grew impatient. Nolan said, âSpeak.â
Speaking?
What did she say?
Did you ask him to bring a few people over to protect her?
A few days ago, Peyton had just said not to have any contact in the
future. Now, saying such words on the day of his engagement, Nolan would definitely think she is just
acting for attention.
Peyton quickly realized and said, âCongratulations on your engagement.â
