"Why are you doing this? Give me my phone back."

Haley was in a panic, lunging to snatch it away.

Her obvious fear made me even more curious about who could be calling in the middle of the night.

I dodged and didn't let her have it. In our tussle, the call went through.

But the person on the other end hung up after just one ring.

Not answering?

That was even more suspicious.

I dialed the number again, and Haley, now out of bed and barefoot, rushed over to grab the phone from me.

She was so frantic she even cursed, "Felicia, have you lost your mind? Give me back my phone!"

Amid her angry shouts, the call connected, and an irritated voice came through, "Why are you calling again after I hung up?"

That voice... Was it Milly?

I froze for a second, then everything clicked.

I couldn't believe Milly would sink so low, playing dirty just to snag a guy.

"Milly, moving into gynecology now?" I couldn't help but confront her on the spot.

Milly went silent on the other end, while I juggled keeping Haley from getting her phone back and taunted Milly, "Cat got your tongue, Milly?"

The call was abruptly ended.

Milly was clearly feeling guilty.

Haley managed to snatch the phone back, her nails scratching the back of my hand in the process, causing a sharp pain.

"Felicia, you're insane. Get out," Haley yelled at me, even throwing the phone at me.

Looking at the scratch mark her nail left on my hand, and thinking how she had been manipulated into betraying Fanny, I lost my temper.

I kicked out at her.

Haley was sent flying, crashing into the bed frame and landing on the floor with a cry of pain, sitting up against the bed.

I approached her, crouching down

"Haley, how much did Milly pay you? Are you that desperate for money? To the point of risking lives with no moral compass?" Content belongs

Haley, one hand clutching her bruised side and the other holding onto the bed frame, looked even paler and more distressed.

I didn't care if she was genuinely

et

hurt or just playing the victim. I warned her sternly, "Haley, I know you're at your wit's end, but don't bring your mess onto my turf. And tell the person behind you, l'expose her deeds as they are." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

After I stood up to leave, Haley grabbed me, "Felicia, if you beg me, I might spare your best friend."

Ha!

I scoffed at her, "What did you say? Did your failed attempt at drama knock some sense out of you?"

I stood there, looking down at her

This woman was really testing the waters step by step.

First blackmailing me, then asking me to plead with her, and now trying to negotiate. She was backpedaling with every step.

This last request was her actual aim.

By now, Haley must have realized she was losing badly. That's why she resorted to collaborating with Milly.

Thinking about Milly, I had assumed she had some grand scheme, but seeing her use Haley like this showed her tactics were pretty basic.

But it did highlight her determination to win over Yates.

"Out with it, what's your condition?" I wasn't giving Haley a chance; I was curious about what she wanted.

She was silent for a moment, "Give me the amusement park."
