Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1343

"Yeah, I know him. It's Liam Leigh, Lydia Leigh's playboy of a younger brother. You have to admit, Owen's counter-attacks are as flawless as ever."

Ethan remarked, a faint, amused smirk playing on his lips.

"So Seraphina tried to set a trap for Owen, and he completely reversed it on her?

But Owen doesn't know the first thing about chemistry or pharmaceuticals."

Mira was genuinely curious.

"He's Jordan Ellis's protégé. There's no way he's completely ignorant about chemical sedatives. At the very least, he knows how to protect himself."

"Fair point. He's always had stellar defensive instincts."

While they spoke, Miles was desperately trying to disperse the gawking crowd. With the scandal now public, the Quinn and Leigh families were in for a long night of aggressive damage control.

Before leaving, Mira worried about Eleanor's frail health and urged her to come stay with them.

But with such a massive scandal rocking the family, the older woman refused to abandon her home in a crisis.

Mira reluctantly left her with a regimen of heart-soothing supplements and headed for the exit.

During the drive back, Ethan analyzed the fallout. "If that guy had been a nobody, the Quinns would have buried the incident and fought the marriage.

But it's Liam Leigh. Their families are on equal footing.

If they deny a relationship, the scandal ruins them both. If they announce they're dating, the public embarrassment vanishes.

Owen played this perfectly to solve his stalker problem once and for all."

Ethan said coolly from the driver's seat.

"Do you think Sebastian will blame Owen for this?"

Mira asked.

"It doesn't matter if he does. His daughter was stalking Owen relentlessly, and instead of parenting her, Sebastian enabled the obsession.
