Back to the present
The train of memories was frequent as well as fresh in her mind. She can do anything to forget them, but alas! She can't at this point.
Megan, the same Megan who pretended to be someone close to her, while deluding her to believe that she can trust this woman.
On the other hand, she was busy gaining her profits, making a gamble upon her as if it was the first thing she wanted to do and also planned beforehand.
It's not like there wasn't a time when Megan didn't want Annabelle as her true friend, but she was unable to do so, as either circumstances didn't let her or she wasn't able to fathom the situation on her own properly.
After all this, Anna still chose to forgive her, though she can never let this woman have her trust anymore. It was already so painful for her to cope up with people's feelings and understanding them. These alone were making her feel miserable and now this new thing included out of nowhere.
