The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 737

"Mr. Pritchett, are you saying—"

"What exactly do you know?" Dylan interrupted Caleb impatiently.

How much Caleb knew would determine how Dylan would deal with him. Right now, he had neither the mood nor the time to beat around the bush.

Caleb didn't keep him guessing, either. He said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just happened to see you dropping that woman off on Xeno Street."

As soon as Caleb finished speaking, Dylan's expression froze. At the same time, he slowly balled his hands—which were resting on the table—into fists.

What Caleb said was true.

Anyone who had ever been to Novaterra knew exactly what kind of place Xeno Street was. If the bustling city represented prosperity, then that area was its neglected, decaying underbelly. It was a gathering place for the homeless, drifters, and even fugitives.

For a young woman like Jean to end up there was like a lamb thrown into a pack of wolves. She wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Dylan, of course, knew this. But there was no other way. She had said it herself—she could never return to the country. So, she wanted to use the money Brian had left there to live out the rest of her life in peace.

And she wanted Dylan to join her. But there was no way he was willing to do that. Thus, the two of them had gotten into an argument on the road.
