Chapter 6

The only thing I didn't consider was that she might not want me anymore after finding out.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to question her, Winter beat me to it, landing a slap across her face.

"Who are you calling a bitch?"

"When you and Nolan conspired to set him up, he already knew. You thought your plan was flawless, but in reality, he was playing you like a fiddle."

"And that $600,000 you got? That was just what you asked to borrow. Now it's time to pay up."

I hadn't expected Winter to try to save face for me at this moment.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't touched.

But Sarah completely denied everything Winter said, and even tried to lunge forward to fight with her.

Worried that her delicate skin might get hurt, I quickly shielded her behind me.

In that moment, Sarah's eyes met mine, and I saw a glimmer of guilt in her gaze.

Just from that one look, I knew that at least half of what was said was true.
