Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 279

Will was the kind of tech star everyone in the industry was talking about lately. Francisco had bumped into him plenty of times at tech forums, so they were more than just acquaintances.

Will was about to head back into the café to help Amelia with breakfast when a familiar voice called out behind him. He turned around, surprised to see Francisco walking his way.

“Francisco, you—”

Before Will could finish, Francisco clutched his chest and staggered dramatically into his arms.

“Oh—my heart!” Francisco gasped, grabbing Will. “Mr. Dillion! I think I’m having a heart attack. Please, you have to get me to a hospital. Right now!”

Will just stood there, stunned by the sudden scene.

“Francisco, since when do you have heart problems? You never mentioned it before.”

Not that Will could remember. Honestly, he was just finding out now.

Francisco didn’t even try to explain, just kept his hand pressed to his chest, groaning louder.

“Mr. Dillion, please, hurry! I can’t breathe—I’m dying!”

Will stared at him, speechless.

He glanced back at the café, which was starting to fill up. Amelia was busy carrying plates of dumplings to customers and calling back for more meat buns from the kitchen.

Then Will looked at Francisco, who looked like he might actually faint at any second. With no other choice, he hefted Francisco’s arm over his shoulder and helped him to the car.

Back inside, Amelia had just set their breakfast on the table when she realized Will was gone.

Confused, she checked her phone and saw a voice message from him.

“Amelia, something urgent’s come up—someone’s life is literally at stake. I have to run. Let’s do breakfast tomorrow.”

He sounded seriously rushed.

With something like that going on, Amelia couldn’t be upset.

“Okay, take care of it,” she replied.

She looked at the big, steaming bowl of beef noodles in front of her, a little lost. There was no way she could finish all of this alone.

Just then, her phone rang. Unknown number. She hesitated, then picked up.

“Hello? Who is this?”

A man’s voice came through, low and smooth, with a lazy sort of charm that sent a strange shiver through her.

“It’s Ryan.”

Starting today, Ryan was her new big boss and main client.
