Miranda's POV,
I didn't know how to respond to Mr. Wharton's question.
Until this moment, I was still hesitating about how to do it.
It wasn't until I raised my head and saw McKenna that I suddenly felt terrified.
For the sake of my family, I said something against my will.
I said that Bella asked me to call Hank.
"Are you saying that it's Mrs. Wharton who asked you to call Hank?" Mr. Wharton's face grew even more gloomy and ugly, and even his gaze seemed like it could eat someone up.
I was so scared that I lowered my head to show my tacit agreement.
McKenna continued to ask, "Miranda, what's the relationship between Hank and Bella?"
"It... It seems like..." I lowered my head and my heart beat faster.
"What does it seem like? Hurry up and say it." McKenna forced mer.
"It... it seems like he is Mrs. Wharton's ex-boyfriend." I said.
