Chapter 501
I glanced down, noticing his soaked shoes. “Then how’d Hayden pull it off?”
“No clue. And nobody else seems to know, either.” Jace tilted his umbrella up a bit, meeting my eyes.
“So, you thought I’d know? That you could get answers from me?”
Jace held steady under my sharp stare. “I know you don’t.”
He held my gaze for a beat before looking away. “He’s deliberately keeping it under wraps. But I did hear something.”
“What?”
“Word is that the boss at Quartz Cue got… well, ‘dealt with.‘ Not sure if it’s true.” He sounded hesitant, but I got what he was hinting at.
“You think Hayden was involved?”
Jace was quiet for a second. “Maybe. But Quartz Cue is huge in Houston. Their boss isn’t the kind of guy you just… handle.”

“I’m sorry.” The apology came easy for Jace, softer than I expected.
I let out a bitter laugh. He looked at me, then asked, “Do you want me to talk to him for you?”
“No. It’d only make things worse, like when Tanya came to explain herself to me.” As I said it, I realized how Hayden and I had ended up on the same track Jace and I had been on.
Only this time, I was the one making mistakes without even seeing it.
Jace went quiet. After a moment, I added, “Look, Jace, we’re family now. From here on out, we’re real siblings.”
“Rea…”
“You may have played a part in what happened with Hayden and me, but the real problems are ours to handle. You don’t need to feel guilty.” I wanted to end whatever lingering feelings or regret he might still
