Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 557

The private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Hudson stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving only his cold, rigid back visible to the room.

The shoulder seams of his dark gray shirt were pulled taut, the fabric tapering sharply down to his narrow waist.

Grant and Sebastian exchanged a terrified look.

What the hell did Liam do to piss off the Boss this time?

He was about to get slaughtered.

Both men unconsciously slowed their breathing, terrified of making a sound and drawing Hudson’s crosshairs onto themselves.

Suddenly, rapid footsteps echoed in the hallway, and Liam pushed the door open. A thin layer of sweat coated his forehead—he had clearly sprinted all the way here.

Grant and Sebastian shot him looks that clearly said, 'Good luck, buddy.'

Liam took a deep breath. “Mr. Lancaster, you wanted to see me?”

Hudson finally turned around, his voice dangerously flat, devoid of any emotion. “Did you tell Phoebe Vaughn about The Ivory Pill?”

Liam’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He hesitated for a fraction of a second. “Yes. I thought since Ms. Vaughn’s intelligence network was so vast, she might be able to... help.”

“Did you tell her anything else?”

Liam aggressively shook his head. “No, I swear. I only asked if she could track down The Ivory Pill.”

Hudson stared at him for several heavy seconds.

He trusted Liam. If Liam said he didn't leak anything else, then he didn't.

But the truth of his poisoning was a tightly kept secret. Aside from Arthur and a trusted few, no one else knew.

If the leak hadn't come from his inner circle, it had to have come from the few Lancasters who knew the truth.

Silas was locked away in prison, and Lawrence Lancaster was trapped overseas, unable to interfere.

Who else could it be?

Hudson narrowed his eyes. Phoebe Vaughn’s intelligence network ran far deeper than he had anticipated.

This wasn't a good sign...

“What exactly is going on between you and Phoebe? Didn't you guys break up? Are you getting back together?”

The moment the words left his mouth, the room fell dead silent.

Grant and Sebastian’s jaws practically hit the floor.

Wait... hold on!

Did they hear that right?

Were they hallucinating?

Liam and Phoebe?!

They broke up?!
