My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 803

Andrew Lane sat in the backseat, listening. Emily Blair felt a chill prickle along her scalp—she was one second away from clamping a hand over Tristan Davis’s mouth.

“I know. You should head home first,” Tristan said quietly.

Just before Emily closed the car door, Tristan glanced across the spacious backseat. Andrew Lane sat there in a crisp suit, legs crossed, looking utterly relaxed as he leaned against the seat.

Sensing Tristan’s stare, Andrew slowly turned his head, his eyes cool and unfathomable.

The heat that usually sparkled in Tristan’s striking eyes faded, replaced by a thin sheen of frost.

If Emily had looked up at that moment, she would have been startled—she had never seen this expression on Tristan’s face, not even back when they’d first met and he’d misunderstood her intentions.

Two men locked eyes, the tension crackling between them.

Before Emily could notice, Tristan looked away and murmured, “Come back soon.”

She nodded and closed the door.

Tristan watched as the car pulled away, his hand curling slowly into a fist.

Jesse approached, taking in Tristan’s cold expression with a hint of unease. “Tristan.”

“Talk,” Tristan replied.

Jesse lowered his voice. “We got a lead. Benjamin Gomez landed a while ago. There’s a woman with him—wearing a mask and sunglasses. Can’t see her face, but from her height, she could be Isabella Austin.”

Tristan’s brow twitched. “Could be?”

Andrew glanced at her, his voice indifferent. “It was nothing. No need to thank me.”

Emily was silent for a moment. Then she offered, “About Isabella Austin… I’m sorry for your loss.”

Andrew didn’t respond.

Emily thought the conversation was over, but suddenly Andrew spoke. “She still owed you an apology.”

With the truth about the Matthew Ross case out in the open, Isabella Austin’s secret—hiring someone to ghostwrite her piano piece—couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Back then, the drama between Vivian Martin, Emily, and Isabella had been a scandal. Isabella had manipulated public opinion to bury her plagiarism, keeping the truth tightly under wraps. Now, with the case reopened, her theft from Vivian Martin finally came to light.

The truth was out at last—but how many people would actually know?
