She faced me with a grinning face that was written with so much insidiousness and craftiness. They had completely burst out at this moment.
Nicky was a truly terrifying woman. She had planned everything from start to end.
"Why did you think my mother came here? I finally managed to stay in the villa. As if I’d move out so easily. So, in order to have a reasonable reason for moving back in, I asked my mother to kick up a fuss at Grant Corporation and bring up the request of living in the villa. That’s because I knew you’d be sympathetic and definitely agree with it.
"Actually, I've only made one mistake until now, and that’s Sara. She actually reconciled with you in the end, which is unexpected to me, but it doesn't matter. My hands are very clean anyway. I’m just a catalyst. No one will notice, and I can get out of this anytime I want."
She smirked, that bright smile on her face looking especially terrifying.
I shook my head. I had fallen into her trap since the beginning. I was her pawn, and she had been pushing me forward step by step as she led the story’s development.
Impressive, truly impressive!
Nicky continued before I could recover from everything she revealed just now. "I know you went to Garland and that you tried really hard to look for Theo. He was in Garland, but he wasn’t involved in the plane crash. He didn't get on that flight at all, so how could he be on the list?"
No wonder his name was not there.
"He didn't go to Moldaeva. He was in Garland the entire time. That’s because Theo went to Garland for a project. Since it was a very important project, I told Theo not to divulge any information for the time being to prevent it from getting leaked. That's why he released the fake news that he went to Moldaeva. Although the plane crash was an accident, it turned out to be a big help to me. It gave me the chance to act on Theo."
