NovelAmazoneChapter 1373 He was a middle-aged man, dressed just like the rest, clearly fresh from a funeral.
This manwas Zeke Lynch, the eldest son and now the big boss of the Lynch family. He was chillin' in the main seat, showing off his top-dog status. On either side of him were other middle-aged guys, but they were clearly a notch below him.
While Quinn was still fumbling for the right words, Zeke cut in, "I know you ain't mute. You cin with Cody, and you two were chatting." Quinn was caught off guard. She'd been scheming on how to hide that Cody brought her in, but turns out they were already in the loop.

Thinking fast, she said, "I'm his girlfriend. First there, just curious and got lost." After saying this, she glanced at Alexander. He looked up for a sec, their eyes met, but then he looked away like she was invisible. Quinn bit her lip, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.
The two middle-aged men whispered to each other for a bit and then just ignored her.
After leaving her hanging for about ten minutes, a servant brought Cody in.
Cody glanced at Quinn, seeing her there, totally unfazed. No shocker she got caught snooping around someone else's crib.
He walked over and bowed to the group. Quinn's eyebrow twitched. Do people here really bow when they meet? Cody straightened up, and only then did Zeke start grilling him, "Cody, what's your deal with this chick?" Cody glanced at Quinn and cleared his throat. "She's my girlfriend." "If she's your girlfriend, why'd she get lost while you bailed first?" Zeke pressed.
"I thought she had left, so I went out to find her. Who knew she got lost? This troubleswoman, did she cause you any hassle?" Cody asked.
Zeke pondered for a moment, staring at him like he was trying to sniff out a lie.
The middle-aged manon his left asked, "Why would Cody have a foreign girlfriend? She can't even understand us. How do you guys talk?" Cody grinned and said, "She's my client. We've been chatting online. She admired my dedication and persistence and insisted on pursuing me. I thought she had good taste, so I agreed to give it a shot. This is our first meet- up." Taking advantage of Quinn's cluelessness, Cody spun tales, getting more into it with each word. He even said she traveled a long way to find him, and he, being a nice guy, couldn't turn away such a passionate woman. As he spoke, an unexpected chill ran through him.

Zeke said, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, we'll let it slide this tBut next time, keep an eye on her."
Cody nodded. "Alright. If there's nothing else, we'll bounde now." Zeke nodded slightly.
He immediately pulled Quinn to leave.
Quinn didn't know what they had m said, but since they were letting her go so easily, Cody's story must have matched hers, and they bought that she was Cody's girlfriend.
