The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 39

Callahan's gaze was heavy. "You can understand it that way."

Leilani didn't speak again; she just nodded and turned to leave.

The elevator doors slowly closed. Callahan watched her back disappear at the end of the hallway, his eyes darkening. Leilani's reaction just now was too calm. So calm that it seemed like she was deliberately hiding something.

Leilani returned to her apartment, closed the door, leaned her back against the panel, and slowly exhaled. Although she didn't know why Callahan asked that, she denied it for safety and to protect Paulina's information. Hopefully, Callahan really just thought he made a mistake.

On the top floor, Callahan exited the elevator. Back in his home, he stood before the study window and called Lennox.

"Help me investigate Leilani and Dr. Cheney's backgrounds," he said in a cold tone. "See what the relationship is between them."

Lennox was stunned. "Mr. Langley, wasn't Dr. Cheney personally invited by your grandfather? Didn't you say before that there was no need to investigate..."

"That was before. Now, I need you to find out the relationship between the two."

One or two coincidences could be accidental, but too many meant there was a problem.

The boss had spoken, so Lennox immediately agreed. "Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."

Hanging up the phone, Callahan gazed into the night outside the window, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Leilani and Dr. Cheney... there must be something he didn't know.
