Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 66

She refused to believe it—how could the security cameras just happen to break at the perfect moment?

The staff member looked flustered. “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but only authorized personnel are allowed in the security office. I can’t take you inside.”

She was met with a wall of stubbornness; the attendant insisted the cameras were broken and wouldn’t budge an inch. Marguerite was left with no way in.

She couldn’t make a scene here forever. Even if she did, what good would it do?

With a frustrated shake of her head, Marguerite finally gave up and walked away.

She was fuming. How was it fair that Mr. Zade could do something so despicable, get away with it, and even turn the blame around on her?

Leaving the restaurant, Marguerite wandered the city streets alone, unsure of what to do next.

Meanwhile—

“Mr. Murphy, there was an incident last night involving Ms. Taylor.” Jonas entered Leonard’s office, reporting on the previous evening’s events.

Leonard listened in silence, his expression growing darker by the second, blue eyes glinting like the calm before a storm.

“Should we step in and help Ms. Taylor?” Jonas ventured.

“Make sure Luke is gone from this city. For good.”

“Yes, Mr. Murphy.”

Jonas was genuinely surprised. Their boss usually despised meddling in troublesome affairs and never got personally involved. Yet for Ms. Taylor, he was willing to act himself.

It was clear just how much this woman meant to him.

That night—

“What are you talking about? I know he hurt you yesterday, but I just heard about his company’s mess myself,” Hogan explained.

“It wasn’t you?” Marguerite’s eyes widened in shock.

Then who was it? Could it have been Leonard?

Hogan finally pieced things together and chuckled. “Only one person could move this fast and hit this hard—your fiancé.”

Marguerite nearly choked on her water. The word “fiancé” still sounded foreign and absurd to her. She barely knew Leonard—just one meeting, a few phone calls. He always felt so distant, a stranger, really.

“How would he even know about this?” she asked, bewildered.

“Finding out wasn’t the hard part. The point is, he cares about you.”
