116 UNYIELDING RESENTMENT

ARIEL’S POV

Andre was still standing behind me and Mason, expecting an answer from the both of us, I’d say. He didn’t have knowledge of our scheme, and I wasn’t planning to tell him. Everything will be revealed once the plan has been carried out. I was just picturing how things would be after that.

“What kind of question is that?” Mason retorted. “You were acting like a cop or something. Investigating us like we were carrying out a crime.”

Andre looked at him for a moment, and then he shook his head as he said, “No, I wasn’t.”
