Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 272

She was sitting on the bed with joy written all over her face.

Five years ago, her stepmother Alexa's brother Peter Rodriguez took off with nearly half a billion dollars from the Dennis Group.

After blowing most of the money, Peter got greedy and thought he could get more from the Dennis Group.

But this time, instead of getting another half a billion, he was in for some serious legal trouble!

Just now, the cop in charge of the case called her and told her that Peter was already on a flight back home.

The police had set up an ambush at the airport.

As soon as Peter's flight landed, they'd arrest him.

She'd been waiting for this moment for years!

After hanging up, she couldn't calm her excitement.

She wanted to share the good news with her friends, but it was 3 a.m., and she couldn't bother them now.

She got out of bed, left her bedroom, and headed to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, she saw a few cans of beer.

She grabbed a beer and sat down in the living room.

4 a.m.

The Bourne family.

Elijah's phone rang.

He awoke from his sleep.

Frowning, he grabbed his phone.

He thought he was seeing things when he saw Violette's name.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen again.

He wasn't mistaken. It was Violette calling.

He sat up, not thinking, and answered the call.

She must have something serious going on if she was calling at this hour.

They usually didn't even talk when they saw each other. There's no way she'd call unless something was wrong.

"Hello... Elijah? Happy birthday!" Violette's tipsy voice came through, Elijah relaxed and then tensed up again.

She was drunk!

She wasn't in trouble!
