Chapter 138: 7.27 Deceptive Desperation

After a long day's work, Cillian and Lucas pulled up to Lucas's house before heading over to the grand Claypan mansion. They walked through the mansion's ornate corridors until they reached the dining room, where everyone awaited.

Cillian found his place beside Espen, and Lucas settled beside him. Cillian offered a warm smile to his parents.

"Hey," Cillian greeted.

Camila's eyes twinkled with curiosity as she inquired, "How was your day, darling?"

A smile graced Cillian's lips. "It was quite eventful, especially now that Miles has been apprehended."

A puzzled hush fell over the room, even Quinn and Adlai sharing in the collective bewilderment.

Camila pressed for clarification, her tone filled with intrigue. "But I thought Miles was assisting you with your game?" she questioned, her eyebrows knitting in confusion.
