Chapter 1656: I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry.

"I was expecting that. It's not like I was looking forward to forgiving you, so I wasn't that disappointed. But I don't think she's pleased either."

From the other end of the line, Nina sat alone on a couch, holding the phone to her ear. Her expression was grim, a mixture of emotions. She held her inner bottom lip, her grip on the phone trembling.

Using her thumb, she pressed the end button and dropped her hand to her side.

Clack.

Nina kept her eyes downcast, reflecting on everything she had heard.

Earlier that morning, Nina received a call from Penny. The latter simply told her she was putting the guards back around her because she didn't need to use Nina as bait anymore.

When Nina asked for a reason, Penny only said that she had already gotten what she wanted.

Knowing Penny, she wouldn't have explained herself further and would have left it at that. However, Nina stubbornly kept Penny on the line, convincing her to let her see Priscilla at least once. Like Penny, Nina had many questions too.

But then again, knowing Penny, she wouldn't allow that either. Even so, Penny wasn't heartless enough not to compromise. She promised Nina that she would call her and let her listen to a portion of their conversation.

What kind of conversations? Penny didn't disclose. But after hearing everything, Penny reminded Nina that she wasn't the only one who knew Penny; Penny also knew Nina. Thus, Penny called Nina when Priscilla was explaining a part Nina would surely want to hear.

And now, after hearing everything from Priscilla's own mouth, Nina didn't know what to feel about it.

Clasping her chest, her breathing grew long and heavy. Her lips paled and quivered, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
