The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 604

Steven mulled over the surprising turn of events, "So, there's really such chaos among the high society? Who's this heiress stirring the pot, acting so above the law?"

Robbie, who had more than his fair share to drink, was feeling quite loose-lipped, especially after Steven had slipped him a cool twenty grand. "It's Penelope Flanagan," he slurred. "You know, the apple of the Flanagan family's eye. She's engaged to Lucian, that guy who's set to inherit the Lindberg Corporation empire."

Steven paused, taking in the gravity of the situation. "Man, this is serious stuff. Where are you crashing these days? Is it safe?"

Robbie's voice was sluggish, "Been laying low at the Blue Club these past few nights."

"Alright, buddy, stick around the Blue Club. I'll go grease some palms and see what I can find out, then I'll hit you up."

Later that night, at 10 PM, Robbie was completely plastered.

In the car.

Steven glanced at Robbie sprawled in the backseat, took out his phone, and dialed a number. "Konnor, I've got Robbie with me. He's been hiding out at the Blue Club for a while. Should I take him back there, or... maybe drop him off with Pete?"

"Get him back to the Blue Club. That rat, Pete, still owes me big time. Have some of our guys lay low around the club, keep an eye on Robbie. We need him under wraps at the club until Pete hands over that deed, then we can let slip about Robbie's whereabouts," Konnor's voice was all business, the voice of a man who never made a losing bet.

"Got it," Steven affirmed. "Robbie mentioned that Hughes got stabbed. Says it was Penelope's doing."

"That doesn't add up. Pete wouldn't dare make a move like that, not without knowing Robbie's at the Blue Club. You say Hughes got shanked, is he bad off?"
