The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 101

His expression was grim, a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes. His grandfather had repeatedly guaranteed that this Ms. Cheney was punctual and reliable, but now it seemed...

Just as he was preparing to stand up and leave, a commotion suddenly erupted at the restaurant entrance.

"Miss, you can't go in like that!"

The anxious voice of a server drifted over.

Callahan looked up, only to see a slender figure walking in briskly, her hair slightly messy and her clothes stained with dust. Her gaze searched the restaurant, finally locking onto him. A complex emotion flickered in her eyes.

Leilani didn't want to meet Callahan looking like a mess, either. She had originally planned to contact Dante first to explain the situation, but her phone was broken, so she had to come in person.

She walked quickly toward him, just about to speak.

“Ring, ring.”

Callahan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changing instantly. He picked up immediately. "What is it?"

The urgent voice of a bodyguard came from the other end. "Mr. Langley, Arnold was poisoned in the ward! Fortunately, we discovered it in time. The suspect has been restrained. We're waiting for you to handle it!"

Callahan's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp as a knife. "I'm on my way."

He hung up the phone. His gaze swept over Leilani, who was standing in front of him and seemed to have something to say. He frowned slightly. "I have an emergency and need to leave now. Whatever you have to say, save it for when I get back."

With that, he strode away without even giving her a chance to speak.
