Everyone attention moved to Zane, wondering what he was going to say. According to what they heard from Violet. They heard that Emma was given to a local street thug. That rumbles around the street collecting money. They actually thought Emma was going to come alone, or probably come with a ruffian. Who would've thought that the local street thug was this tall and handsome. They didn't expect Zane to be this well built and even had more charisma than them. They were starting to wonder if Violet was telling the right story.
Zane adjusted himself on the seat and faced Jude. He cleared his throat and said he owned a property in Cloudridge.
The moment Zane spoke, a subtle tension rippled through the room.
Cloudridge?
The name alone carried weight.
It wasn't a place where just anyone could buy property.
It was a district reserved for the elite, a neighborhood where each home had its own security detail, where the air itself seemed to smell richer than the rest of the city.
