Chapter 99

Timothy's eyes narrowed suddenly, sharp with suspicion.

If it were Mabel, she wouldn't have stayed silent on the line.

Sheila caught the change in Timothy's expression. Truth be told, she'd already guessed it was Jessica.

"Alright."

The moment Sheila stepped out, Timothy pulled out his phone and dialed Jessica.

The call was instantly disconnected.

She still had him blocked.

Timothy wasted no time and called Mabel instead.
