Chapter 929



I really want to make things right with Brysen.

Just give me a chance to explain.”

Kallie settled onto the sofa, her lips curling into a cold smile.

“Explain? What’s there to explain?”

Neal tried to concoct another lie, but Kallie saw through him and simply tossed her phone over.

Neal’s eyes widened at the images on the screen.

They were pictures of him surrounded by women at a bar.

Neal’s face turned ashen.

He opened his mouth to speak, but Kallie cut him off, her voice sharp and commanding.

“I wasn’t being honest with you.

You were under my surveillance yesterday.

I heard and watched everything.

Not only that, I spoke with your former landlord before coming here.

You’ve been lying to me from the start.”

“Tell me, Neal.

Her gaze was icy as she glowered at Neal.

“If you tell me the truth, I’ll just hand you over to the police.

Neal shivered, beads of sweat dotting his forehead.

He had no choice but to confess.

“Fine.

Since you already know, there’s no point pretending.

The truth is, I was nice to Brysen just to get you to trust me.

I needed you to hand her over to me so I could keep getting money from you by just being with her.

I treated her like crap because she disgusted me, and I couldn’t stand pretending with her in private.

You have no idea how difficult it is to take care of someone with mental illness.”

Kallie’s hands balled into fists, her body trembling with rage, but she managed to keep her tone steady.

“No, Neal.

You’re lying.

I don’t believe a word from you.

There must be other reasons.

Is someone behind you? What’s the purpose of the person who ordered you to do so?

Neal, don’t underestimate my ruthlessness.
