My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 585

Tristan Davis was sitting in Emily Blair’s office when the news came in.

“The Cox family is more complicated than I thought,” he remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Emily glanced up from her paperwork. “What did you find?”

Tristan swiveled his laptop around so she could see the screen. “Ryan Cox has an illegitimate son—Lucas Cox. He went to high school with Andrew Lane and Isabella Austin. They had a get-together a few days ago, and Lucas was there.”

Emily’s mind flashed back to that night—the one where she’d been so furious she nearly smashed a bottle over Ryan Cox’s head. She remembered Andrew Lane stepping in, saying, “That’s enough.”

She gave a low whistle. “Well, that’s definitely something.”

“That’s not even the most interesting part,” Tristan said, pointing to a photo on his screen.

“What else?” Emily leaned in.

The photo showed a younger Isabella Austin on a city street abroad, her shoulder pressed intimately against a young man Emily didn’t recognize.

“Who’s that?” she asked.

“Isabella Austin’s ex-boyfriend,” Tristan replied. “Benjamin Gomez.”

Isabella’s ex-boyfriend? That was a name Emily had never heard before. In all her years—her previous life and this one—she’d never known Isabella to date anyone besides Andrew Lane.

“Ex-boyfriend? That’s news to me,” Emily murmured, frowning.

Tristan grinned. “There’s more. Want to hear it?”

Emily looked up and met his eyes. “Go on.”

He crossed his arms, settling back. “I’ve been digging into Isabella Austin for a while, but some information was always out of reach—as if someone was deliberately blocking it, making sure it stayed hidden.”
