Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3084

The room fell dead silent. Even Xavier looked up at Norah.

Her radiant complexion was striking as she unlocked her phone, pulled up the recording, and hit play.

The crystal-clear audio of two people conversing filled the room. It started with Leila's voice.

"Even without holes, they'll find a way in. Mice are relentless. They probably just climbed through the window."

Then Norah: "I hate mice more than anything. I had one in my apartment back in J City, and I have no idea how it got in."

"You rent an apartment in J City?"

"Yeah!"

...

The playback continued until Leila's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. "Norah, why don't you and Xavier just drop this whole Donovan family business?"

Norah's feigned shock echoed through the speaker. "What?"

"I'll give you a few thousand dollars. You convince Xavier to leave. How about it?"

"Why would you do that?"

"Just don't ask. If you and Xavier agree to walk away and stop interfering with the demolition, I'll pay you right now!"

...

Then, Norah's tone turned icy. "It was you."

"What was me?"

"You want the Donovans' B&B demolished so you can take the payout and buy a house in H City. Am I right?"

"What does it matter to you? Does my family's business have anything to do with you? You two need to stop sticking your noses where they don't belong!"
