From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace novel Chapter 87

Bonnie offered to stay the night with Laurinda, and Laurinda was more than happy to let her.

Adolphus didn’t really want to leave, but he still had unfinished business at the criminal investigation department. He decided not to fight it and left with York.

When they got to the parking lot, York spotted the flashy supercar right away. He was about to make a comment, but Adolphus just handed him the keys.

“I have to go to the department, and this car is a bit much for that. Let’s swap,” Adolphus said.

York took the keys and handed over his own, but didn’t walk away right away.

“So what’s your plan for the Charles family?” York asked.

“I’m letting Laurinda have her fun. I’ll handle whatever’s left,” Adolphus replied.

That caught York off guard. From what he’d found out, the Charles family was closely tied to the Lane family. Normally, if someone targeted the Charles family, the Lanes wouldn’t just ignore it. That was exactly why York needed to ask.

“Are you sure the Lane family won’t get involved if Laurinda goes after the Charles family?” York pressed.

“They won’t,” Adolphus said. “The only reason the Charles family is connected to us is because Len married Adah. My parents don’t see them as worth their time. Do whatever you want. If anything happens, I’ll take care of it.”

Adolphus gave York a reassuring pat on the shoulder, letting him know he could move forward without worrying.

If he didn’t know Laurinda so well—didn’t know she liked to handle things her own way—he would’ve already made sure the Charles family had a night they’d never forget.
