The Best Revenge

Leila put her bag beside her and looked at the couple. 

"Aunt Charlotte, Uncle Isaiah," Leila said with some light amusement in her eyes. She had heard a little bit of the conversation from outside. It was quite fortuitous that she arrived when she did or her plan would have been ruined. 

"Leila, how have you been? You have not returned home for a few days now," Charlotte said with a forced smile. 

Leila laughed lightly. "There is no need for pretence, Aunt Charlotte. You know why I wanted to meet with you and Uncle Isaiah."

Charlotte felt a little nervous while Isaiah loosened the tie around his neck. The two of them knew what Leila wanted, but they did not expect her to be so direct. It made them uncertain of their next step because Leila was not acting predictably.
