The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 171



"Indeed, you're no worse than I am. In fact, you're even better than I am, and there's nothing about me that's better than you. Winter Shaw, is there something wrong with you?"

Noelle did not understand how Winter's prejudices toward her had formed. "Whatever. I can't be bothered talking to you."

"What do you mean you can't be bothered? I think you're just scared! Makes sense, though. I heard Simon has some odd in-bed fetishes. You and him.......” Winter grinned, the evil look in her eyes difficult to disguise. "You'll never be able to escape, Noelle Shaw!"

"You're not the one who gets to decide whether I escape or not!" Noelle countered, her eyebrows knitting themselves together. "Good luck does not always favor you, Winter!" Noelle said as she walked past Winter and into the bathroom.

As Winter stood at the entrance and watched Noelle walk away from her, the corner of her lips curved up into a long, knowing smile.

The fact she had to interact with Winter when all she wanted to do was go to the bathroom had Noelle thinking she had terrible luck. However, something about the interaction had struck her as odd because Winter was not the kind of person who would let her off the hook that easily.

When outsiders were present, Winter would pretend a deep sisterly bond existed between the two and only let her true colors shine when no one else was there. The fact she had bothered to tail her all the way here meant things were not as innocent as they seemed. Why had she left after only exchanging a few sentences with her?
