Chapter 303: The warning
Ethan’s face turned pale. A cold shiver ran down his spine as Nicholas’s words sank in. "What warning?"
Nicholas’s smile was as sharp as a blade. He leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I hope you’ve heard about Lydia. Dylan sent her to jail."
Ethan felt his throat go dry. Lydia? In jail? He had cut off all contact after leaving the city. He had no idea what was going on with her.
"You don’t know!" Nicholas’s eyes gleamed with mock surprise. "She didn’t call you for help, did she?" He tilted his head, feigning sympathy. "Well, she probably couldn’t. Dylan seized her bank accounts and properties... she has nothing left. She’ll be rotting in prison for the rest of her life."

Nicholas’s expression turned unreadable. "Yes, she did plenty to harm the Brooks family," he said flatly. "Jail is exactly where she belongs."
Ethan swallowed hard, his mind racing. It turned out that the crime Lydia had hidden for all those years had finally been exposed. What about her conspiracy to kill Thomas? Had Dylan found out about it as well?
A fresh wave of chills pricked his back.
As if reading his thoughts, Nicholas leaned in closer, his voice dropping into something more chilling. "She planned to kill Thomas back then. Unfortunately for her, she ended up killing her own brother instead. Such a shame..."
