Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Kylee, What Do We Do Now Kylee sat still, her thoughts circling in quiet suspicion.
Could it be Collin? No. That was out of the question.
There was no way he cared that much about Linsey. At best, she was just a fleeting distraction to him. Nothing more.
Besides, Linsey didn't even know who he really was.
"I don't know," said Jude, irritation creeping into his voice. "It seems like it's a friend of Linsey's." If he had known Linsey had connections like this, he never would have listened to Cynthia, let alone gotten himself tangled up in this mess.
Kylee exhaled softly, her shoulders easing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she thought. This had nothing to do with Collin.
If this so-called threat was just one of Linsey's friends, then it wasn't worth worrying about.
What kind of powerful allies could Linsey possibly have? She had no status, no background, no influence.
Kylee let out a quiet laugh, full of disdain. She sneered. "Jude, don't do anything stupid. If you act on your own, you'll regret it." On the other end of the line, Jude hesitated.
He couldn't afford to cross the mysterious man, but at the stime, he couldn't risk going against Kylee. Right now, he needed to look out for himself.
"I haven't said anything," he said quickly. “I ran off the second I got spooked. That's why I called you. If you have a plan, I'll go along with it." Kylee hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry. Since we're in this together, I'll do everything I can to protect you.
Cfindnow, and we'll figure out a way to handle this." After she hung up, Kylee's expression darkened, a wave of unease settling over her.
Jude was already considering a public apology. She had to stop him. No matter what.
If he caved, they wouldn't even get the chance to take down Linsey before their own alliance collapsed from the inside.
Beside her, Cynthia's panic was written all over her face. "Kylee, what do we do now?" she blurted out. "If this comes out, I'm done for too! You have to help me. You were the one who ctofirst about Linsey." 0.0% 01:49 Kylee inhaled sharply, irritation flickering in her eyes.
She turned to Cynthia with a cold look, barely able to hide her disdain. This woman was an idiot.
She had made a serious miscalculation teaming up with Cynthia And Jude-he was proving to be just as much of a liability.
if Cynthia hadn't been the one to introduce him, Kylee never would have trusted something this important to a man so spineless A cunning glint flashed across her eyes.
Maybe it was Ure to cut them both loose.

The thought alone made her feel lighter.
For the past hour, she had been tying herself in knots over nothing. Jude and Cynthia weren't real threats. They were weak, predictable and easy to deal with. There were plenty of ways to handle them. And this time, Kyler was going to win.
Meanwhile, across town, Jude sat frozen, his phone still warm in his C hand. He looked up swallowing hard. Across from him, Collin watched him in silence.
"I did what you told me," Jude muttered, his voice barely above al whisper "You heard Kylee, right? She wantsto go see her now." Collin's expression remained unreadable.
He had told Jude to call Cynthia as a test. He hadn't expected to hear Kylee on the other end of the line.
So she was the one pulling all the strings.
