Chapter 61

Karen’s heart skipped a beat, wondering why he was bringing this up after so many years. She could only think of

one reason.

Immediately, she put on a mask of confusion to hide her nervousness. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me,” Kris insisted, his gaze uncompromising and demanding.

“Did you finally show those pictures to Thalassa? What did she say? She claimed that they were fake, didn’t she?” Karen snapped. “And you believed her?”

“What she told me doesn’t matter,” Kris ground out. “Just answer the damn question.”

“I don’t like how you’re talking to me, Kris. Let’s talk later when you’re calmer,” she said, attempting to sit back down at the dresser, but Kris grabbed her by the arm.

“You’re not going anywhere until you answer my question. Where did you get these photos from?” he hissed. Karen’s heart raced. Why was he acting like this? Had he believed Thalassa already?

“Exactly what your mother told you when she gave them to you,” she retorted, trying to wriggle her arm from his hold. “You’re hurting me.‘

Kris let go of her arm but still stood firmly in front of her as he sneered, “Don’t drag my mother into this. You were the one who gave her the pictures to give to me because you didn’t have the courage to give them to me yourself. Wasn’t that what you told me when I asked you later? So tell me right now, where did you get them?”

“I took them myself!” Karen lashed out. “I took them because I couldn’t stand seeing how Thalassa was making al fool out of you even on the night before your wedding. Didn’t I tell you that? Despite everything, she was my friend, and I felt like I was betraying her. I did it for you, so why are you asking me about it like I did something wrong”

“How come she didn’t see you taking the pictures?” Kris demanded.

“Because I hid. But even if she saw me, she didn’t care because she didn’t think I would ever tell you the truth. That’s how shameless she was.”
