Annalise was dumbfounded.
She had presumed he recognized her or was charmed by her.
She hadnât expected his words to be a jibe.
Paying no mind to Annaliseâs crestfallen expression, Barlow redirected his attention to Virgil.
âIt appears youâve yet to experience such a woman, havenât you? You should be vigilant.
â
After saying that, Barlow held Karinaâs arm and took her away.
Rosalynn wanted to Laugh and thought Barlow did a good job.
His razor-sharp tongue could come in handy at times
When Virgil heard Barlowâs words, he frowned and asked, âStop! Where are you taking Karina?â
Rosalynnâs smile vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp-edged expression.
She faced Virgil and said, âVirgil, I donât think itâs appropriate for Karina to go back with you.
You know her.
Sheâs a frank person.
Iâm afraid she wonât be able to handle someone so manipulating.
By the way, I asked Keegan to record the conversation.
It has nothing to do with Karina.
Does Annalise also think Iâm after you?â
Virgilâs expression froze as he watched the three Leave.
Annalise clenched her jaw, cursing Rosalynn and Barlow in her mind.
Seeing that Virgil remained motionless, she quickly switched gears, putting on an aggrieved face.
âVirgil, Iâm sorry.
Itâs all my fault.
I tend to speak without thinking first.
I only gave them something to use against me.
We should probably not see each other anymore.
A woman Like me doesnât deserve to be with you.
â
Forcing a few tears, she gasped and covered her mouth before running away.

Snapping out of his trance, Virgil immediately grabbed her hand.
âWait! Please donât go.
Annalise, you know I canât Live without you.
â
Annaliseâs previous worries melted away, knowing she held Virgilâs heart.
âBut Karina has feelings for you.
I wouldnât want to steal you from her.
â
âHonestly, I see Karina more as a sister.
Itâs you whom I love,â Virgil confessed hastily.
âVirgil, youâve been incredibly kind to me.
â
A cunning smile curved across Annaliseâs Lips as she leaned against his chest.
Virgil wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into a tight embrace.
He should be happy, but beneath the surface, a faint undercurrent of unease tugged at his heart.
