Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 374

Soren's aggressive posture faltered instantly.

He pressed his lips together. "That was an accident..."

Before he could finish, Glenn let out a cold laugh. "So how do I know there isn't a second 'accident' waiting to happen among your people?"

Soren paused. "What's that supposed to mean?" Glenn was talking as if his inner circle was a viper's nest. That look of deep suspicion made him intensely uncomfortable.

After a moment, the implication finally dawned on him. He stared at Glenn in shock. "You think I want to hurt Evangeline?"

"Don't you?" Glenn shot back. His gaze was merciless. "Between emotions and business interests, you stand to gain the most from the deaths of Evangeline and Finn."

Evangeline was Soren's ex-wife, and her current project was his biggest competition. Finn was a Lockridge, Soren's sworn enemy. Leaving aside motive and details, their deaths benefited Soren more than anyone else.

Soren was incensed. "What kind of bullshit are you spouting? Why would I ever hurt Evangeline?"

Glenn didn't back down. "Then explain this: Finn had a hold of her. She was almost safe. But because of the time you wasted, they ended up like this."

"The rope wasn't long enough," Soren countered. "The knot on Poppy was a dead knot."

"Impossible!" Glenn retorted. "If it was a dead knot, then how did Evangeline manage to untie it herself to keep from dragging Finn down with her?"

The air crackled with tension.

Soren's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched tight at his sides.

He had always been articulate, but faced with Glenn's relentless accusations, he found himself at a loss for words.

Melvin had said both knots were slipknots.

But they had all seen it—the knot on Poppy was clearly a dead knot.

If they were both supposed to be slipknots, that meant Poppy had lied to him.

Soren's throat felt tight. A sudden wave of helplessness washed over him.
