Chapter 14

Cynthia's face turned deathly pale upon hearing those words.

"How... how do you know?" she stammered.

Biting her lip, she glared at me venomously. "Emily, how could you possibly know about what happened back then?!"

For years, she had carefully played the role of the victim to gain Jack's affection.

But the truth was, Jack and Tyler's presence at that remote shooting location was entirely due to Cynthia.

Cynthia was a glutton, always needing to instantly try any delicious food she saw online.

That day, she had come across a recommendation for artisanal gelato and insisted that Tyler, with his broken arm, get out of bed.

"Bro, go buy me some ice cream, hurry up!" Unable to drive with his fracture, Tyler couldn't resist his sister's pestering and called on Jack for help.

Too embarrassed to admit Cynthia's craving had prompted a hours-long drive just for ice cream, Tyler lied about spotting a potential real estate investment and invited Jack along to check it out.
