Chapter 436


    I caught Larkin''s expression shift into something odd, and pressed him for more, "What is it?"


    He hesitated before dropping the bombshell, "One of the guys who attacked you that day confessed.


    He ims he''s the one who offed Evan Dawson!"


    Hearing this, I was gobsmacked, my voice rising in disbelief, "No way! He''s lying, he''s got to be lying!


    That''s just not possible!"


    Hannah spun towards Larkin, urgent curiosity in her voice, "What does he look like?"


    "Well, he''s resembled a little of Jerome—height, build, even his penchant for loafers," Larkin detailed


    meticulously. "Plus, his story about when and where it all went down checks out, down to the nitty-gritty


    of what he said to the kid."


    "That can''t be right," I argued stubbornly. "If he killed the kid, one thing''s for sure—it doesn''t add up


    how the kid would know him. Unless the kid knew him and he knew the kid, how else would the kid


    cling to his neck and not let go? And where did he pick up the kid from?"


    My questions came out in a rapid-fire as I turned to Larkin, "We''re not going home, we''re heading to


    Dalton''s!"


    Fury bubbled up inside me, "This has got to be Jerome''s y to take the heat off himself! Don''t forget,


    they''ve had plenty of days to cook up a story to feed the cops."


    "Miss, keep your cool! The police aren''t that easily fooled," Larkin tried to soothe my frayed nerves.


    "The truth will out, and until the cops have it nailed down, they can''t lift the warrant on Jerome—he''s


    still got to hide from daylight."


    "This is total baloney!" I took a deep breath to calm myself. "Any fool can see, he''s trying to flip the


    script, to exonerate the Dawson family. That means he’s desperate!"


    "He probably didn''t see Medsafe Liyah Inc.''s disastering," Larkin added. "The boss has pretty


    much snapped up the shares from those stakeholders. Just onest straw to break Jan''s back."


    After a moment''s contemtion, I grabbed the phone, "Then let''s bring on thatst straw."


    Dialing Elbert, I got straight to the point, "File for divorce, Mr. Elbert. You''ve got one day. I''llpile all


    the evidence I have tonight and send it over. The day after tomorrow, I want a press conference first


    thing in the morning!"


    Next, I rang up Ronan. He answered immediately, concerncing his voice, "Allie, you okay?"


    "Did you heard about what just happened?" I asked, even though I was pretty certain he already knew.


    "Yeah. I''m gathering intel on those two dead men—I’m digging for evidence."


    My heart leapt—he was on the same page. Ronan had anticipated my all-in move.


    "I''m about to tighten the screws on him, make him crumblepletely. The morning after next, I will


    announce the divorce, leaving Jan with no choice!" I said fiercely.


    He understood my y—to stir up the media storm and unleash havoc on Jan.


    "Alright," Ronan said firmly. "You have my full support."


    We fell into silence, the quiet between us speaking volumes. Truth be told, I had a lot to say, but with

    Ronan, silence said it all.


    After an awkward pause, Hannah shot me a questioning nce, and I blurted out to the person on the


    other end, "You... everything okay with your finances?"


    "Yeah, all good," Ronan replied softly. "Do you need cash?"


    "Not a chance," he said confidently. "Medsafe Liyah Inc. is a piece of cake."


    "Just wrap it up as fast as you can, make him vanish for good!" I instructed. Co?tent of

    A low, maic chuckle came from Ronan, "As you wish."


    But just as I was about to hang up, another thought struck me, "Wait..."
