Joseline walked over and grabbed her sister’s arm. “Angeline, are you all right?” she asked concernedly. “How did you fall into the water? That lifeguard is so irresponsible.”

To her surprise, Angeline pulled away and replied curtly, “Don’t I have you to thank for that?”

Looking incredibly aggrieved, Joseline stared back with puppy dog eyes. “How could you say that? I’d never—”

“Quit pretending, Ms. Sorelle. No one else is around, so go on and get to the point,” Angeline interrupted as she eyed her sister with open disdain. One thing was for sure—she was sick of her sister’s friendly façade.

Since Angeline had seen through her, Joseline knew there was no longer a need to keep up her pretense. With an evil glint in her eye, she promptly leaned in and whispered, “I’m marrying Hanson soon, Angeline. You’d better not ruin things for me.”

Angeline looked her in the eye and scoffed. “My, my, you’ve thought this plan out well, haven’t you? If you hadn’t gotten me drunk back then and pushed me into a stranger’s bed, I reckon Hanson and I would’ve been married by now.”

Upon hearing that, Joseline stumbled backward in shock.

Oh, sh*t! Angeline knows the truth about that incident!

After looking around frantically and realizing there weren’t any surveillance cameras in the room, she finally calmed herself down.

“S-Stop spouting nonsense,” Joseline said through gritted teeth. “I wasn’t the one who set you up all those years ago.”

As she continued staring at her sister, Angeline suddenly recalled the latter saying that her child was still alive. Naturally, that piqued her curiosity.

“Fine. Let’s not talk about that for now. What I want to know is what happened to my child.”

Joseline’s air of superiority returned as she gave an arrogant sneer. “I didn’t lie to you. Your child is really still alive!”

Angeline froze immediately, feeling as though someone had doused her with cold water.
