"How did you find out?"

Sherilyn stared straight into the man's troubled, handsome face, her eyebrows arching slightly as she cut him off with a chilly tone.

"Where did I give myself away?"

"Here..."

Gilbert raised his hand, pointing to her temple, "The hairpin, I gave one to Jenna, there were two."

Sherilyn paused, raising her hand to touch her temple, indeed finding the hairpin there.

When had she put it on? Had Jenna put it there for her?

So, that's how it was. Unexpectedly, this was the reason...

Sherilyn let her hand drop, her lips curving into a mocking smile. Was this her downfall? After hiding for so long, to be exposed by something as trivial as a hairpin... Probably not.

After all, this was the last resort she had left for herself and Jenna...

Only as a last resort...

On one hand, Sherilyn felt a sense of relief; on the other, a new weight of pressure descended.
