Chapter 260

The moment the words left her mouth, Nita suddenly remembered Shirley was still standing right there.

But to her surprise, Shirley just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Nita. I know about Effie and Mr. Etheridge. But..." She made a zipping motion across her lips, promising she'd keep the secret.

Lyman nodded. "Thank you."

"My pleasure."

Apparently, Lyman outshone them both in the charm department.
