No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

What a dive into the muck together.

Haley, she could pave her way with her own husband's life, let alone use someone else's.

She could say it and she could do it, so I had to keep my guard up around this woman.

I leaned in too, locking eyes with her, "Well, then, we'll just have to see about that."

With that, I briskly turned on my heel, leaving her behind as I strode out.

At the door, I thought of the child she had tormented into premature birth and couldn't help but add, "Haley, if you have any humanity, you'd at least let your own child know what sort of creature brought him into this world."

Haley stiffened, and I didn't wait for her reaction, I just walked away.

I headed to Fanny Willis's lounge and waited for about ten minutes before she showed up.

Fanny greeted me with a smile, "Why haven't you left?"

She was obviously trying to lighten the mood, "Cut the crap, what did the principal say?"

"Nothing much, just asked me to write an honest report and cooperate with the investigation," Fanny poured herself a glass of water. "How did your showdown with Haley go?"

Thinking of Milly's collusion with Haley, I didn't answer but instead asked, "Why do you think Haley is after you?"

Fanny handed me a glass of water and said, "Mad dogs bite randomly, you know."

She didn't say it was because of me, probably didn't want to burden me.

"Why is she mad at you?" I asked, trying to lead her to think deeper.

Fanny took a sip, "She's using me to get to you."

"Besides getting to me, is there any other reason?" I pressed on.

Fanny seemed to catch on to something, her brow furrowing slightly, "Licia, what are you trying to say? Did you find out something from Haley?"

"Haley is trying to ruin your career, to

hit you

Though she can do it

Toting me, don't you t

too roundabout?" I hinted

a bit

zwarther.

Fanny set her glass down with a thud, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make me guess."

I hesitated for a moment, "I saw the call log between Haley and Milly on Haley's phone, and it was from last night."

That was when Fanny and Yates were having their sweet moment, Milly, being next door, must have been dying of jealousy.

So, she contacted Haley to concoct this scheme.

Fanny was surprised at first, then she laughed.

Wasn't she supposed to be angry? Why was she laughing?

I tapped her with a pen, "What's so funny?"

"It's funny how even the smartest and most insightful women can turn foolish once they're poisoned by love," Fanny said, shaking her head.

"She's literally stabbing you in the back, and you're laughing. Aren't you worried?"

Fanny's fingers tapped lightly on the table's edge, "Milly wants to hit me professionally first, then move on to Yates."

Thinking of Milly walking away with Yates, Lcouldn't help but say, "She indeed has the means, and Yates, being so naive, might not withstand Milly's tactics."

Fanny smiled calmly, "Milly didn't expect her trip back home would bring such a big problem. She must regret not securing Yates earlier, allowing me to cut in. Now she's so desperate she's even turning to someone like Haley."

True to her nature, always rational even in dire situations.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

But this was directed at her, she had to figure it out on her own, so I asked, "She's made her move, so what's your plan?"

"I'm gonna flip her plan on her and watch her stumble over herself," Fanny winked at me.

I paused, then said, "You mean, you're planning to... chase him thousands of miles?"

Fanny gave me a thumbs up, "You really grew up with me."

She took another sip of water, "Milly thinks by taking Yates away, she can have her way? Then I'll just occupy the high ground."
