The Trap Of Ace
Chapter 24
Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 24 – That means… Liza?
My suspicion was right. She did it. She was the one who put d***s in Caleb’s car and maybe, leaking information outside.
My shoulders slumped as disappointment washed over me. How could she do it? She was such a nice person and worked with Caleb for years. What could make her betray all of a sudden?
I’ve to inform Ace about it.
Getting up, I clutched the packet tight in my hand and rushed to his cabin. My heart thumped in my chest.
As I approached his cabin, I found Carter outside on his desk.
“Is he inside? I’ve to see him right now.”
Looking up, he smiled. “He is. Though he’s a little busy, as ordered, you’re always free to go in and out without any permission.”
Huh? I could just walk in just like that?
Not wanting to waste anymore time, I threw a thanks at him and barged inside.
But I was shocked to witness the scene before me.
“-asking you for the last time, Liza. You better speak up now!”
Arthur was seated on a chair, and Ace stood at the middle of the cabin, his clenched jaw was a declaration of his mood. And a trembling Liza stood right before him with her gaze on the floor. Silent tears were streaming through her eyes non-stop.
What’s happening? Did they get to know the truth already?
When their eyes fell on me, I didn’t know what to say. His stormy gaze softened as soon as they met mine.
“Rosebud? What’re you doing here?”
Gulping, I glanced at Liza. Her eyes didn’t lift up from the floor. Her shaking state raised pity in me, she was my friend after all. But I couldn’t just let go of what she did. It was a crime.
“I- I want to say something.”
All of a sudden his whole attention was on me as concern filled into those eyes. Forgotten the serious issue before him.
Nodding his head, he looked at his uncle over his shoulder. “Arthur, please take Liza outside. I’ll be meeting you in a moment.”
Acceding, as Arthur stood up, my voice stopped him. “No!” Every pair of eyes landed back on me, even Liza’s. “It’s about the d***s. I found something.”
Liza’s face paled dramatically when she saw the packet in my hand.
Hanging the plastic before her face, I asked, “See those white powder at the bottom, Liza? I found it from the dustbin you threw it in this morning. Guess what it is?”
