Chapter 57
Quinn Ortega sat face-to-face with Audrey Macy, his gaze filled with sorrow.
Audrey Macy leaned back in her chair, idly picking at her nails, her demeanor far from the once timid and helpless image she had portrayed.
“Why?” Quinn Ortega finally spoke, his voice trembling.
Audrey Macy blew a fragment of her nail polish off her finger and glanced at Quinn Ortega. “Which matter are you referring to?”
“Are you involved in money laundering? Quinn Ortega struggled to ask the question.
Audrey Macy sneered. “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t trusted Nicole Hayward and handed everything over to her, she wouldn’t have uncovered my activities.
“So you decided to kill her?” Quinn Ortega’s face was a mixture of shock and pain.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Audrey Macy suddenly laughed. “I didn’t kill her; you did. Don’t you remember? Before she died, she called you for help, and you were the one who told her to go die. How can you blame me for that?”
“It was you who deceived me first,” Quinn Ortega shouted, standing up angrily, glaring at Audrey Macy. “If you hadn’t lied to me about being my savior, I wouldn’t have trusted you so blindly.”
“You did the same thing to me three years ago when I was drugged, didn’t you?” Quinn Ortega’s voice was filled with accusation.
Audrey Macy mocked him. “You can’t blame me for your own foolishness. I just said it, and you believed it. But thanks to you, a lot of my problems were solved.”
“As for drugging you three years ago, my plan was to sleep with you so you’d be more devoted to me. But you kept insisting on marriage before we could sleep together, and I couldn’t wait. It turned out that Nicole Hayward took my place. I didn’t want her to ruin my future, so I pinned the blame on her. That way, even if you had feelings for her before, you’d no longer like her. Killing two birds with one stone, I was really clever.”
“You vile creature!” Quinn Ortega lunged at Audrey Macy, grabbing her by the collar and shouting, “You ruined my life! You caused Nicole’s death, and I’m going to avenge her!”
The officers stationed in the corner rushed over to restrain Quinn Ortega, dragging him out of the room.
Audrey Macy laughed triumphantly. “Quinn Ortega, you’re just a fool. It’s your own blindness that led to this. Nicole Hayward is dead and never coming back. Hahaha..”
