You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 161 

Harper 

Sadie came over to our house late Sunday afternoon with her laptop, and we went right to work editing the video footage she and Ryan got yesterday at the restaurant.

As we keep pouring over it, trimming it down to the highlights, I realize what they filmed is so damning.

When it gets out that Aisha is WHGOSSIP and she's the one behind all the malicious stories that have spread over the years, she's going to be ruined.

Finished.

Over.

For good.

"I can't wait to see her face at school Monday.

When she realizes she's been exposed and there's nowhere for her to hide,” Sadie says as she stares at her laptop screen, her expression downright gleeful.

"It's going to be so good.” "How are you even going to spread this around to everyone?"

"I've got a plan."

She is being way too evasive.

"And what exactly is that plan?"

"I'd rather keep you on a need to know basis.

As in if you need to know, I'll tell you."

Sadie cackles.

"You're being ridiculous."

I roll my eyes.

Start giggling.

Immediately stop.

"I feel kind of bad."

"Girl, if you say you feel guilty about exposing Aisha and all of her bullshit, I'm kicking you out of the house.” Sadie is dead serious, I can tell.

"But are we being too mean?"

“Nothing is too mean for that snake.” A sigh leaves me and I lean back in my chair, already giving up on the editing process.

I grab my phone to check it and see I have a text from my boyfriend.
