Chapter 20

"Mother dearest, has my most beloved brother fallen asleep?"

"He's awake."

"What… What are you doing then? Is he that cute?"

"We're tallying our wealth. Chat later."

"..."

I see how it is. You're a mother-son pair huddling together, and I'm stuck here with the scumbag. I'm an unwanted child! What a sad life!

Thomas dramatized his situation!

He pretended to cry, and just when he was about to send a voice message to his mother, a voice called out, startling him. "What are you doing, Colt?"

The quilt was haphazardly thrown off of him before he could collect himself.

He swiftly hid his phone under his pillow and turned to face Angie, who flashed him a false smile.

Oh, this pretty lady looks ugly with her plastic grin.

Thomas didn't answer. He instead tugged at his quilt and inched back.

Angie imagined that Colton knew of her involvement when he was thrown off a cliff when she met his frightened stare. Her gentle facade faded at the thought.

"Cat got your tongue, brat? Are you mute?" Angie had closed the door behind her when she entered. Only the two of them were here so there was no need for her to play pretend.

Thomas usually fooled around quite a bit, but this was his first time meeting such a harsh woman.

He also didn't want to speak to her.

Of course, he was mainly afraid of revealing his secrets and being discovered.

So, Thomas decided to talk less and allow Angie to state her purpose before thinking of a countermeasure.
