“I’m asking you—when did you figure it out?” Andrea snapped, acting like a total drama queen, her whole demeanor sharp and nearly hysterical.

Rebecca shot her a sideways glance.

Her gaze stayed chilly and indifferent, just like always, but somehow Andrea couldn’t shake the feeling that Rebecca knew everything. ‘She’s got that same deadpan look, but I just know she’s onto me, Andrea thought, her emotions spiraling out of control and her voice rising in desperation. “Say something!”

“When you were running all over town, using your so–called debt to threaten Jeffrey,” Rebecca replied offhandedly, totally making it up as she went.

‘Just who was Andrea pretending to be?‘ Rebecca wondered.

‘How did Jeffrey never catch on that Andrea wasn’t who she said she was?‘ she thought.

‘And how did Andrea catch on in the first place?‘ Rebecca couldn’t help but wonder.

Right now, she didn’t have answers to any of this–all she could do was keep poking, hoping Andrea might let something slip.

“No way,” Andrea forced herself to stay calm. “If you really knew I was a fake, why didn’t you expose me?”

“By the time I figured it out, Jeffrey had already hurt me because of you,” Rebecca continued, spinning her story with a straight face. “Out of pure spite, I wanted to see the look on his face when he found out the truth.”

Andrea tried to catch Rebecca in a lie, searching her face for any sign of deception.

But Rebecca’s expression was so real, it almost seemed like she had all the answers.

“Anything else?” Rebecca asked, clearly not wanting to stick around any longer. “If not, get lost.”

“You’re lying!” Andrea shot back, refusing to back down, her eyes locked on Rebecca. “You don’t know a thing.”

“Even if I didn’t know before, do you really think I’m clueless now?” Rebecca replied, her tone dripping with indifference.

The more Rebecca acted like this, the more Andrea’s confidence wavered. For the whole minute that followed, Andrea couldn’t take her eyes off Rebecca’s face, searching for any sign of weakness.

Andrea racked her brain, trying to spot any clues from the past, but all she could dredge up were those endless clashes with Rebecca and Jeffrey’s words–sweet on the surface, but ice cold underneath. Nothing else made sense, and it drove her nuts.

“Then spit it out–who exactly is that person?” Andrea demanded, her gaze still locked onto Rebecca.

Rebecca stayed silent.
