Chapter 160After the call with Georgina ended, Benjamin gave a mischievous smirk, his lips parting wide. He stared at Georgina's name on the screen.He barely spoke when a man beside him asked, his voice low but desperate to know. “You agreed to show up, didn't you?” He asked.The man was one of Benjamin's men—the actual one who is the tech guy. Benjamin turned and looked at him, nodding. “Yes, she accepted. She will definitely show up,” he replied, his expression cold.A pause took place.After a short moment, Benjamin continued, his voice deadly. “She thinks she can play a cheeky trick with me. She doesn't know I have been into this before now.”The thing here is that Benjamin's tech guy had made a background check on Anthony and had known why Georgina was going after him. Her main intention was to drive Sarah away while taking her place.However, in the background check about Anthony, they didn't get everything about him. They only found out that he owned a large villa in the mos

Chapter 159The call rang and Benjamin picked it up from the other end, his voice teasing but with frustration and mocking. “Oh, madam slapper is calling. Finally.” He chuckled low but cold.Georgina frowned. “Please, stop, Benjamin. This isn't the time for this,” she said, “what happened last night wasn't intentional.”Benjamin chuckled bitterly. “Really? You slapped me so hard on the face that it left my face burning so severely, just to be calling me now to tell me it wasn't deliberate?”Georgina swallowed hard, her face pale. “Okay, fine, fine,” she interjected. “I deliberately did it.” She clearly accepted it with a nod. “I made it look real so everything would look real. Didn't you see how he was looking at us as if being suspicious of us, did you?”She paused briefly, taking in a deep breath before riding on. “If I didn't do what I did, he would have known that we have something to do together, and you know what that means? Our plans would've been destroyed.” There was a brief

Chapter 158Meanwhile, in her room, Sarah was still deep in sleep. The incident last night had pushed sleep from her eyes, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.However, sleep finally caught up with her. It was nature so it was inevitable. Slowly, Sarah began to roll herself on the bed, the phone ringing disrupting her peaceful sleep. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, a frown forming on her face, as she heard the sound. “Who could that be?” She complained, half-sleep, feeling disturbed by the noise.She lazily moved her hand toward the nightstand to grab the phone. But as she had got hold of the phone, slothfully sitting straight and yawning on the bed, about to glance at the screen to answer it, the call suddenly ended.She blinked, her eyebrows furrowed. Confusion was written on her face. “Huh?” She mumbled, her voice faint. “They ended it? Just like that? That was strange.” Her curiosity piqued and she sat up, her finger moving on the screen as she headed to her call log. A

The next day, the morning broke inside Anthony's room, and he lazily woke up, pulled out the duvet, and then sat up straighter. Rubbing his face with his hand, he reached out for his phone and sat on the nightstand. As he unlocked it, his mind drifted to something. “Yes, I need to put a call straight away to him. I have promised her several times, but have always forgotten about it.” With that, he located Georgina’s inbox and glanced down at the message that she had sent to him bearing her mechanic’s name.Without hesitation, he dialed it, putting the phone close to his ear while shifting slightly on the bed. The call rang twice before a voice, soft and friendly, came through from the other end. “Hello, good morning. Who is this, please?” The muscular voice asked.“Good morning,” Anthony replied, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m Anthony, Georgina's friend. Do you know her?” “Yes. What happened to her?” Anthony cleared his throat and then responded. “Alright. I'm her frien

Meanwhile, upstairs, Sarah entered her room, closed the door, and leaned against it, a tear threatening to drip from her eyes but she fought it back.She buried her face with her hands and let out a deep, shaky breath. She walked groggily toward her bed, threw her handbag onto the bed, and sank onto it. Faintly, she reached out for her phone, her fingers gripping it as she stared at the screen.Her eyes winked slightly, and the thought of calling Anthony to apologize further came running through her mind. She hesitated, her finger hovering the face of her screen. “There's no point,” she muttered, her voice lacing with frustration. “He won't pick. He's so disappointed in me right now.” Hitting her forehead, she groaned at herself. “He has every right to be mad at me! I should have told him the truth rather than lying to him. Now, see what I have caused.” Her chest tightened with guilt.Just as she was lost in thoughts, the doorknob to her door suddenly twisted, and her door gently

Anthony couldn't respond. He only gave a small nod, his face pale.Georgina continued, her tone carrying a hint of disgust. “Is that how she is? Telling lies? I mean, does she have to lie to you? Why didn't she just tell the truth, that she was going out to dine with her boyfriend? You wouldn't have stopped her.”Her intention in saying that was to fuel Anthony's aggression toward Sarah. He wanted him to be more hostile and furious at her so that he would only have time for her—Georgina—and not Sarah.Pausing briefly, she continued, “She was only trying to act like she had wanted to let you know just because she was caught red-handed, or else she wouldn't have even mentioned it to you.”She didn't stop. She went on uttering words that were disgusting about Sarah, condemning her single act with only one intention—to flare Anthony's anger toward Sarah.Anthony was numb, listening to every one of her words.“She isn't trustworthy. People like her are like snakes in green grass. They can
