“I'm asking you, what happened between you two? Why was it Uncle Ryan who showed up? Wasn't it supposed
to be Ryan?”
“Why didn’t Ryan come? Why was it Uncle Ryan instead?”
“Did you two...?” Isabelle sounded like she was about to lose it, her words trembling with desperation. “Please,
tellnothing happened. Tellyou didn’t... that nothing went on between you.”
“Cat got your tongue? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
| hit the record button and gave a mocking chuckle. “Regretting it now, Isabelle?”
“Victoria, you bitch! You really did it with Uncle Ryan? You—"
| snorted. “I didn’t want to, but | never thought what you slippedwould be that strong...”
“No, no, you're not allowed to be with him! Not ever!”

“Isabelle, | honestly can’t tell if this is a blessing or a curse. Edward's actually really gentle.”
“Plus, he said... he'd take care of me.”
“No... no way, how could it be him?” Isabelle was losing it, crying her eyes out. “Victoria, if I'd known it was him,
| never would've done something so stupid.”
Isabelle totally lost it. “Victoria, | hate you! Why did you have to show up?”
“Edward doesn’t belong to you. You can’t control him, so you just go after me. Isabelle, you're being so
immature. And about those photos you took of Sophia to blackmail me? You're messing with the wrong person.
You're not threatening me-you’re screwing yourself over. Sophia’s gonna take you to court for sure.”
Isabelle shouted, furious, “Her? That insignificant ant? She’s nothing!”
My heart sank. Just as | expected, Isabelle had been spoiled her whole life-she’s always thought the rules don’t
apply to her.
“Even an ant can shake a tree. Don’t underestimate the little guys,” | said, and hung up.
Not long after, Edward strode into the hospital room.
As soon as | saw him, | remembered the phone call Id just recorded and cclean about it right away.
Edward gavea startled look. “We... did something? Why am | the last to know?”
| blushed in embarrassment. | just wanted to get under her skin, so | said sthings to rile her up.”
Edward reached out and ran his fingers through my hair. “Relax. | already got her to cclean about
everything.”

Edward's voice went cold. “I used a few tricks. She ended up trustingand toldthe whole thing.”
“How could she be so naive?” | muttered, still in disbelief.
Edward glanced down at me. “I told her you were about to call the cops, and that I'd help her keep it quiet. She
totally let her guard down. Plus, she’s into me, so she ended up tellingeverything.”
“If you got her to confess, then why did she call just to cussout?” | said, surprised.
Edward's eyes grew cold. “I told her what was really going on before | left.”
“What did you tell her?” | asked, startled.
Edward grinned at me. “That | was gathering evidence for you, obviously. What else would | say?”
“No wonder Isabelle’s about to lose her mind. You're helpingget evidence right out in the open-of course
she’s losing it,” | said, glancing at Edward. For a split second, | caught a rare softness in his eyes.
Edward's voice stayed icy. “She did this to herself. There's no reason to pity her.”
After getting the shot, | felt a lot better. But since I'd been out in the cold water, | started showing scold
symptoms. The doctor gavea prescription and senton my way.
The first thing | did after getting discharged was go straight to find my little brother.
Aiden crushing down to the lobby, grinning from ear to ear when he spotted me. “Hey, what brings you to
Braylin? When did you get here?”
| looked at Aiden, and for sreason, my heart ached for him.
He was such a bright, sunny boy.
“I need to talk to you about something important,” | said, my face turning serious.
Aiden jumped in surprise and quickly ledover to a lounge sofa. He hurried off to get us two cups of hot water.
“Sis, don’t scarelike that. The way you look right now is givingchills. Did something serious happen?”
| took a deep breath, pulled out my phone, and sent him a few photos.
Aiden’s expression changed instantly when he saw them. The next second, he looked up at me, his eyes wide.
“Sis, where did you get these? Is Sophia... is she cheating on me?”
