What is the b*tch up to now? And where did she bring Joan to? Abelyn glared at the woman in front of her, displeasure evident in her eyes.
"Where did you bring Joan to?"
Joan? Della scoffed as she did not expect Abelyn to be concerned about Joan when her own life was at risk.
Smack! Della slapped Abelyn, turning the latter's cheeks red in an instant.
What a loyal friendship they have. Della stroke her hair lightly before bending down and whispered in Abelyn's ears. "Joan? She escaped without you."
Impossible! Joan would never leave me behind. Della must be lying to me. Abelyn shook her head forcefully.
"Don't believe me?" Della threw the newspaper at her. "She's currently getting intimate with Larry. I reckon she's too busy to care about you."
As Abelyn stared at the intimate photo of Joan and Larry, tears began to well in her eyes.
Could it be that she's actually telling the
truth? Joan, did you really abandon me?Where is your conscience?
Abelyn held her tears back, trying to stay strong.
What a dumb woman. She actually believed what I told her. Della smirked.
"Why? Finally seeing her true colors? Look at how she betrayed you! I mean, why is she taking so long to save you? She knew that you're with me, after all."
Della was trying to sow discord between them and it worked. Abelyn could not hold back her tears any longer.
