Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 135

Lucas arrived remarkably fast.

He managed to get the feverish, unconscious Linton into the car, then turned to Liliana with an apologetic look. “Miss Hart, I’m truly sorry. Mr. Cooper has caused you a great deal of trouble.”

Liliana, ready to leave for work herself, replied coolly, “When he wakes up, be sure to tell him this: if there’s a next time, I’ll report him to the police for harassment. If he doesn’t want to have a chat with the cops, he should stop bothering me.”

“...”

Lucas didn’t dare pass that message on to Linton. He just managed a weak, awkward smile and said nothing.

Liliana couldn't be bothered with them. Without a second glance, she turned, got in her car, and drove away.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Lucas looked at the unconscious Linton in the back and sighed helplessly. He could see it clearly now: this time, Liliana was serious about leaving. She hadn't even asked about Mr. Cooper's condition.

In the past, she would have been frantically driving him to the hospital herself. Resigned, Lucas started the car, wondering how long it would take for a man as proud as Mr. Cooper to finally accept the reality that his fiancée no longer wanted him.

Back at the office, Liliana immersed herself in her design work. There was less than a week until she and Aiden were due to leave for the conference abroad. She reviewed the completed drafts, calculating that she could finish everything just before their departure.

She could arrange for a few prototypes to be made before she left, and they would be ready for her review and revision upon her return. The timeline was perfect.

Suppressing a flutter of excitement, Liliana stood up to stretch her stiff shoulders, planning to grab lunch in the company cafeteria.

The cafeteria was on the first floor.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she heard a commotion coming from the main entrance.

The guard, startled, didn't dare say more. He clutched his swelling cheek and scurried to a corner to make the call.

Backed by the Cooper family’s influence, Mrs. Cooper wasn't afraid. She snorted, pointing a finger at Liliana’s nose. “You, bitch! My son is in the hospital with a fever because of you! Do you know how valuable his time is? Every minute he’s sick costs the company millions! You’re going to pay! Today, you will give me an explanation for what you’ve done to my son!”

Liliana looked at Mrs. Cooper’s outrageous demand and couldn't even be bothered to argue.

It was obvious she’d been looking for an excuse to cause trouble for a long time.

Did Mrs. Cooper even love her son, Linton? Liliana knew the answer to that all too well.

She lazily lifted her gaze, her hands stuffed in her pockets, her expression flat. “You assaulted my company’s security guard. After you get out of the police station, remember to pay his medical bills.”
