“I just saw Sidonie slip into that motel with some guy,” she whispered. “They look so shady. Let’s find out what she’s hiding.”

A woman’s intuition screamed that Sidonie and the stranger were up to no good.

“Sidonie?” Harlan’s eyes narrowed. He despised that woman. If he could dig up more dirt on her, why not?

The two conspirators exchanged a look and headed for the motel.

Not far away, a car was about to clear the intersection when the passenger in front said, “Hey, Sterling, isn’t that little rascal of yours walking with a woman? Did he get himself a new girlfriend?”

Seated in the back, Sterling Windore lifted his gaze. The next second, his pupils contracted; he locked onto the woman beside his nephew. Even from behind, he knew her–it was Laura.

“Huh? They just went intò a motel! If the kid wanted a room, shouldn’t he pick a five–star hotel?” the man in front exclaimed.

“Turn around. Pull over,” Sterling ordered icily.

“What?” The man, Calvin Reed, glanced back. “Your nephew’s chasing a girl. Do you really have to worry that much?”

Sterling’s tone froze the air. “Didn’t you hear me?”

From the rear–view mirror, Calvin saw his friend’s handsome face darken as though he’d just lost the most critical case of his career.

In fact, Sterling had never lost a case.

In all their years of friendship, Calvin had seen that expression only once–when Sterling got a breakup call from his ex, and what followed…

The memory made Calvin shiver. Who would have thought a man so composed could, on rare occasions, be absolutely terrifying?

The driver pulled over to the curb. Sterling stepped out first and strode toward the motel, Calvin hurrying beside him and muttering, “Don’t tell me you’re here to bust your nephew. He’s a grown man. Still, that woman who went in with him looked awfully familiar… I swear I’ve seen her somewhere before… Wait- wasn’t that the girlfriend you dated back in the day…”

Calvin’s words cut off mid–sentence.

Sterling radiated an icy aura.

Calvin clicked his tongue. No way… Could it really be Sterling’s ex–girlfriend?

Back then, everyone had assumed Sterling would dump that girl in no time.

After all, he was heir to a dynasty of attorneys, running the biggest law firm in Jexburgh, while she was a sheltered nobody–it looked mismatched from every angle.

But Sterling never so much as mentioned her name, and whenever others brought her up, he acted utterly indifferent, leading Calvin to believe the whole affair was nothing more than a footnote in his friend’s life.
