âI recorded everything just now.

In an instant, Bryceâs expression shifted.
âDamn it! Youâre so devious.
How could you trick me?â
âIf you hadnât tried to frame me, how could I have the chance to do the same to you?â Raegan calmly replied.

Letâs go together.

Raegan hesitated and racked her brain on how to decline Hectorâs offer.
After all, Hector was Bryceâs father and also Mitchelâs uncle.
She would rather not get too involved with him
