"Tsk!" Shannon frowned and then said, “It was that time at your place."
The moment she said that, my mind started automatically searching for the memory.
Then I remembered.
It was the day Shannon came to the villa. She had whispered something to Theo before she left. It turned out that the words she said came true.
I suddenly realized this and narrowed my eyes. "Why didn't you tell me directly?"
"Oh, would it be of any use if I had?" Shannon rolled her eyes at me, looking frustrated. "You were talking her up and feeling so guilty. Well done now. You’ve just about handed over your house and husband to her. Has it relieved your guilt?"
Every one of her words made me feel like my heart had been punctured with many holes. I pouted. "But aside from these, Nicky did actually save me several times."
At this moment, Shannon was abruptly energized. She sat up, pointed her finger at me, and raised her brow. "I think… you can look into those matters further."
She looked at me. Her tone was meaningful and made me hesitate. Was there any inside story?
Shifting my eyes slightly, I tentatively asked, "You mean she’s been deceiving me?"
"I already told you this. It could be a coincidence if it happened once, but how could it be when the same thing happened so many times?" Shannon spread her hands out and looked at me with her head tilted. Her attitude seemed to indicate that something fishy had been going on.
I gulped. If there was something off about those incidents, then Nicky would be quite a terrifying person. This scared me.
I pursed my lips. I was thinking, but I had no answer.
Seeing me silent for a long time, Shannon knocked the table and pulled me out of my thoughts. "How engrossed you are! Did you think of something?"
