to explain herself. Instead, she said with a flat face, “We are acquainted. Is there anything wroug with me borrowing his Militarycard?“”
Chapter 45
“Acquainted?” Inis side–eyed Samuel and said, “Samuel, don’t be fooled. Someone saw her constantly going into Mr. Bradford’s office, and she stayed in there for more than half an hour every time!”
Samuel’s gaze was grim. All he did was stare at Kylie without a single word.
Kylie asked defiantly, “What is that supposed to prove?”
“You have an obscene relationship with Mr. Bradford!” Iris said confidently, which made Kylie chuckle
She frowned and asked, “What are you chuckling at ?”
Our brain is a wonderful thing “Kylie was being subtle with her sarcasm. She enunciated, “It’s a shame that you don’t use it.”
“Why, you!” This was stumped.
“Do you think it’s that easy to slander someone, or do you just assume that everyone doesn’t packa brain the same way you do?” Kylie raised an eyebrow. She was merely 20 years old, but that didn’t stop her from exuding a fierce air of intimidation
“just how much do you hate me? You’re accusing me of having an obscene relationship with Mr. Bradford based on the two insignificant things you said. If that’s the case, you and Scott are far more suspicious. I’d even wager that you two have rolled in the hay countless times.”
What a calculated sarcasm. The last thing tris expected was for Kylie to bring Scott up, and she couldn’t think of anything to say. Her expression immediately changed, and her face tumed red with rage.
That said, she quicidy calmed down and said, “I wouldn’t have had anything to do with him if it wasn’t for your meddling. We’re talking about you and Mr. headford, and yet you keep changing the topic.
“That’s classic diffident behavior. Samuel’s here. If you ask me, you should just come clean with everything while you have the chance.”
Kylie looked at Samuel
His expression was grim, and his eyes were brimming with rage. He seemed to share tris suspicion. Did he also think that she had an ambiguous relationship with Jeremiah?
“Is that what you think, too?” Kylie asked as she stared at Samuel,
“Samuel?” tris was also nervous about his imminent response. The truth wasn’t as important as his attitude in this matter
“I’m aware that she came to Tenby University,” Samuel said slowly. He might not have spoken loudly, but his words carried weight.
He didn’t grace Iris with a gaze. Instead, he stared at Kylie intensely as he continued, “If she cured Grandpa, she must possess extraordinary medical skills.”
Iris was at a loss for words. She felt struck by thunder and couldn’t move a single muscle.
She had just been slapped twice for nothing. What was worse, Samuel might now think of her as a moronic troublemaker.
Initially, she wanted to screw with Kylie. In the end, however, she shot herself in the foot.
Samuel narrowed his eyes menacingly and said impatiently, “Are you happy? Can we go now?
“Sure. Let’s move!” Kylie walked out of the holding cell with a spring in her step.
She continued, “I must say that I’m surprised you were willing to lower yourself down and pick me up at the police department. It would seem that you care about me, even if it’s just a little.”
won’t bear th
Samuel scotted. “The Vance family can’t!
Kylie openly admitted ”
this bumiliation isn’t this the outcome you were hoping for?”
Naturally, I wish you could pick me up in person, but there’s nothing can do it you don’t show up.
“Eventually, I’ll still have to walk out of here by myself. After all, a holding cell isn’t a place to stay for long.
“This isn’t a big case, but it certainly isn’t a small one either. My reputation is at stake here. A certain someone just had to make a call, and you immediately sent over a famous lawyer to her side.
“As your fiancée, I canya different status. It’s well within my right to have special treatment. So, I want to see if I can get you to come down here yourself.”
Meanwinle, Simon was dumbstruck. Kylie was a real piece of work. There was no doubt about it
Iris was shocked, and she clenched her teeth tightly.
