Neville blinked in surprise. “What did you just say?”
Realizing the potential misunderstanding, Susie rushed to explain, “I’m afraid Damon’s men are still keeping watch outside the villa.
It’s not safe for you to leave, especially with your injury. I’ve got some empty rooms. Stay the night, and we’ll call the police tomorrow. I’m really sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
Her genuine apology left Neville feeling he couldn’t turn down her offer.

Neville scratched his head. Internally, he agreed-it wasn’t ideal to drive in his current state. “I get it. I’ll stay here tonight, and tomorrow, I’ll join you when you contact the police.”
“Great. Let me show you to your room,” Susie said with a smile.
Neville nodded.
Considering Neville’s injury made stairs a challenge, Susie suggested the guest room downstairs.
“ALL the rooms here are clean. Use anything you need in the bathroom.
If there’s anything else, just give me a shout, and I’ll have it brought to you right away.”
Looking around the room, Neville remarked, “It’s fine. It’s just for the night. Don’t trouble yourself.”
Susie nodded. “Alright, get some rest. Good night.”
With that, she left the room.
Back in her own room, Susie’s father, Wyatt Blakely, called. “How did your date with Neville go? What are your thoughts on him?”
A hint of shyness played on Susie’s face, though she remained unaware of it.
Unconsciously, she changed her initial plan of casual flirting. “We had a good time. Neville’s a gentleman, quite charming. I want to know more about him.”

Miley couldn’t hide her disappointment as she received Neville’s message.
After a brief pause, she pulled herself together and messaged back.
“No problem. We can go to the cinema after you finish your work.”
As she was about to send the message, an unknown number popped up on her phone.
Taking a moment, Miley answered.
The caller got straight to the point. “I’m Neville’s mother. Is this Miley? Can you spare some time now? We need to talk in person.”
Though it sounded like a request, the tone allowed no room for refusal.
Despite disliking Amya, Miley kept her response polite for Neville’s sake. “It’s late. Is there something urgent, Mrs. Pierce?”
