Chapter 146: She is planning something!

As soon as the words left the tip of my tongue, the place fell silent within the next second. I could see the exact moment as Stella's heart sank to the pit of her stomach while everyone remained oblivious to my obvious jab at her, as they only watched with anticipation swirling in the depths of their eyes, waiting for an answer.

Blake and Stella's eyes both widened, almost as if they were going to pop out of their eye sockets. Shock and surprise flashed past their eyes for a fleeting moment, clearly taken aback by my sudden question. I watched with great satisfaction as her face fell and the colour drained from her face, leaving her pale. 

She blinked a couple of times, her mind still struggling to comprehend the situation as she stuttered, unable to find the right words to say. "I… I…"

I laughed, my laughter piercing through the tension that was lingering in the air between us.
