The Billionaire’s Maid Bride ( Flanagan & Allison Zimmer ) novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587 

Darian was puzzled as he made his way to the Red Jack Club. He hadn’t been involved in any trouble lately, so what could this be about? 

Upon entering the VIP room, he saw Konnor with a young man by his side. It was a face he didn’t recognize yet seemed oddly familiar. Approaching Konnor, he asked, “Konnor, you wanted to see me about something?” 

Konnor flashed a smile. “This is Mr. Pete. He’s looking for you.” 

Pete got straight to the point. “I’m trying to track someone down.” 

“If it’s someone on these streets, I know it, Darian boasted. “Who are you looking for?”

Konnor beckoned, “Come closer, Darian. Tell me.” 

Darian whispered Hughes’ name into Konnor’s ear. 

Konnor’s demeanor immediately turned grave. “Pete, I’d like to help you out, but I’m in a tough spot here too.”
