Crises in Love novel Chapter 397

Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears as she looked at me, her face was pale as a ghost, her lips were trembling wildly and a fine mist of perspiration dotted the bridge of her nose.

“I…I…” she stuttered over the word multiple times, but couldn’t seem to form a coherent sentence.

I had been in a rush to leave, but now I sat down firmly, slamming her cell phone down on the coffee table.

Leaning back, I gave her a frosty stare. She shivered. “Miss, I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just… just messing around with the camera. I couldn't sleep, so I got up, saw you all having a blast chatting last night, and I just… just watched… and then saw that, and started taking photos…”

“Cut to the chase!” I snapped, my tone anything but gentle, “After you took the photos, where did you send them?”

This was an unexpected windfall. I hadn’t planned on dealing with her, but she had practically walked into the line of fire. The content on her phone was shocking, enough to make me fear the worst.

I can’t let her stick around.

“I didn’t send them! Miss, you can’t blame me, but I didn’t send… I don’t even know how to send stuff. I was just taking photos without thinking…” she babbled on.

I was about to speak when my phone rang. I grabbed it immediately, hoping for an important call, but it was Logan.

“Allie, are you playing games with me?” Logan’s voice came through lazily.

“I’ll be there in a jiffy! Hold on!” I told Logan on the other end of the line, then hung up.

Glancing at the clock, it was already five. I turned to Hannah, who was standing nearby, “Keep an eye on her. I’ll be back soon!”

With that, I snatched the phone from the coffee table and headed out.

Gemma panicked when she saw me take her phone, calling out, “Miss…”

She tried to follow me, but Hannah stepped forward, arms crossed, blocking her path with a chilling warning, “I’d advise you to stay put and not make a fuss!”

I didn’t have time to waste, hurrying out the door.

Once outside, I sprinted toward the Wood Manor, my mind racing with unease.
