Chapter 133

Third Person POV.

There was a lot of tension in the room as Kayden and Angela faced each other. Kayden had a rather displeased look on his face, while Angela looked like she couldn’t wait to be rid of him.

“I can’t believe you of all people let Marlene manipulate you into making such a decision, Angela,” Kayden accused, his voice edged with frustration. “How could you let her talk you into committing murder? Just how?”

He had been taken aback when he heard from Marlene that Angela was the one responsible for the accident that put Amber in critical condition. He had thought that Marlene was the one responsible, but to find out that Angela had done it on Marlene’s orders made him even more shocked.

Angela’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she shot back, “You think I had a choice? Marlene had people watching me and threatening me, Kayden. I had no other option,” she responded defensively.

Kayden’s eyes narrowed with skepticism. “You could’ve found a way out if you really wanted to. But no, you jumped at the chance to do her bidding, didn’t you? Admit it, Angela. You’ve been waiting for an excuse to rid yourself of Amber ever since Richard married her, so you decided to do as Marlene wanted so that you could use such a dumb excuse to justify your actions.”

Angela’s jaw tightened, but she maintained her defiant stance. “Don’t pretend like you don’t want her gone too. You should be happy that I did what neither you nor Marlene could have done since you’re

both cowards.”

Kayden let out a scoff of disbelief. “And yet, here we are, and she’s still alive. Your little plan failed, Angela. Marlene pushed you to the edge of a cliff, and you just let her do it. Now you’re right where she wants you, and it’s all because of your foolishness.”

Angela’s eyes flashed with irritation. “She might not be dead yet, Kayden, but she’s barely alive. ! heard she’s fighting for her life, which means she’ll likely be dead soon enough.”

Kayden shook his head in exasperation. “But until then, she’s still breathing. And you’ve become another pawn in Marlene’s game. Congratulations, Angela. You played right into her hands, and I cannot save you, nor do I think I want to.”

Silence settled between them, heavy and suffocating. The reality of the situation hit Angela all at once, and all she could do was wonder how she could save herself now.
