The Truth
Juan glared at Sally.
Sally turned around and glanced at Juan. Why are you looking at me like that when all I did was tell the
truth?
Kyle shifted his gaze from Sally to Juan, and he stared at his brother for a moment before heading
upstairs without saying anything else.
He knew Sally was telling the truth just by looking at Juan’s expression. There was a faint smile on his
face when he turned around and strode off.
Sally was puzzled at Kyle’s departure. Did he walk away just like that? Shouldn’t he at least say
something? It’s so challenging to read him!
“I advise you to stop wasting your effort on Kyle. He doesn’t care for you that much.” Juan glared at
Sally as he walked over to her.
Sally turned around. “What does that have to do with you? It’s none of your business.”
“Of course it’s my business! You’re my girlfriend, and it doesn’t reflect nicely on both of us for you to be
flirting with another man.”
Sally was startled to hear that. She sized Juan up. “This is just an act we’re putting on. It would be best
if you don’t get too deep into your character. We can easily end things whenever we want to.”
Juan froze for a second. “I still won’t allow you to seduce Kyle. He deserves better than you!”
“I believe that’s his decision to make instead of yours!”
Juan fell silent. Is she really trying to seduce Kyle? In her dreams! I will never allow that to happen!
After sending Sally off, Maya and Nicole sat on the brown couch and chatted over fruits.
Maya asked Nicole curiously, “Mommy, why do I feel like Sally cares more about Kyle than Juan?”
Nicole paused for a moment. “Perhaps it’s genuine, or…” Or she has an agenda.
“Or what?”
Nicole took a bite of an apple as she pondered who would win a battle of wits between Sally and Kyle.
Sally was bold and great at using reverse psychology, whereas Kyle was meticulous and calm. They
were both also incredibly intelligent.
But if two intelligent people were to fall in love, logic could no longer apply to their situation. People in
love would normally act the exact opposite of their usual personalities and sometimes even behave
impulsively.
Who would be the winner between the two then?
“Mommy, what’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
Nicole snapped out of her daze. “They’re all adults now, and they can settle things on their own. We
should be focusing on Bernian Hospital and your food plaza instead of worrying about them.”
Maya gave it a thought. “You’re right. We can’t do much as outsiders too. Speaking of the food plaza,
Mommy, things can be hectic with the weekend crowds. I’m thinking of expanding it once Daddy is
back.”
“Sure. Expand it if you want to. I’ll…” Nicole suddenly paused.
She wanted to say she would support Maya wholeheartedly even without Evan being physically here.
However, she then recalled that she had already invested all her money into Bernian Hospital.
Therefore, she couldn’t be of much help for the time being. Hence, she looked apologetically at Maya.
“I’m afraid my hands are tied. Why don’t you wait for your dad to help you once he’s back?”
Maya nodded. “Sure! Mommy, now that Nina is at K Nation, do you think she’s looking for Chris?”
Upon hearing this topic, Nicole felt a migraine coming on.
If only Nina had listened to me and not sneaked her way to K Nation. If she found out that Chris is
already dead… I don’t think she’ll be able to take the truth.
