"Ms. Reyes, you..." Amanda's eyes widened, and her mind was in complete disarray.
In theory, her plan shouldn't have gone awry. Lily was Daniel's former wife, and she had feelings for Daniel, so she should despise Maisie. Besides, Amanda could have used her as a pawn to eliminate the thorn in her side without anyone suspecting her.
How had everything changed?
"Amanda." Lily smirked. "Stop thinking that everyone else is as naive as you are. Or should I say, as morally bankrupt as you are?"
"Ms. Reyes..."
"From the very beginning, you wanted to use me to get closer to Daniel! And while I was in the midst of a fierce battle with Maisie, you'd sit back and reap the benefits. Isn't that right?"
"No!" Amanda protested. "Ms. Reyes, please listen to my explanation. I genuinely had your best interests at heart."
"I could hear you scheming all the way from abroad! You dare say you were never jealous of Maisie? You dare say you didn't want to destroy her?"
Amanda was left dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.
As Lily picked up her bag to leave, she said one last thing to hurt her. "I'm not here to rescue you. I'm here to tell you that there’s a prison cell with your name on it. Also, there are no feelings between me and Daniel. I'm not the kind of woman you think either.
"Amanda, I disagree with your way of doing things. Learn how to be open and just while you’re in jail!
"Right, one last thing." Lily turned back to smile at her. "I must inform you that I was the one who exposed you for impersonating Leroy!"
Amanda slumped into her chair, her whole being feeling drained.
Lily left the police station and took a deep breath. Her phone rang, and Rachael spoke from the other end of the line. "Boss, where are you?"
"Where else?" Lily replied as she stepped aside. "I came to see Amanda. This will bring me bad luck!"
