Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2616

“I think Imogen has something to do with the kidnapping,” said Shirley curtly.

Zacharias looked up in shock. “Does she have something to do with it?”

Shirley nodded. “I asked Roy to give me the security footage, and there’s footage of me and Imogen going shopping. My gut tells me that Imogen has something to do with the kidnapping.”

“Why would she do this?” Zacharias was frowning, taking this seriously.

“Perhaps it has something to do with money. Imogen’s family isn’t all that rich, but she’s an ambitious lady,” said Shirley. She was reminded of when Imogen told her that she wanted to gain Zacharias’ attention. She told Shirley that she’d fallen in love with Zacharias at first sight, and Imogen even hinted to Shirley that she wanted to woo Zacharias. That’s proof of her ambition.

“If she is involved, then we have to deal with her!” Zacharias cursed himself. He had a meeting that day, and Imogen requested to stay back with Shirley. He gave her that permission, leaving a snake by Shirley’s side. “I’m sorry. This is my fault, too. I shouldn’t have let her go shopping with you.”

Shirley wrapped her arms around Zacharias’ neck and kissed his forehead. “It’s not your fault. If I hadn’t gone through this whole ordeal myself, I’d never have realized Imogen is a traitor.”

Zacharias held her in his arms. “I won’t let anyone I don’t trust stay with you ever again.”

Shirley should be glad she went through this, or she would’ve never seen Imogen’s true colors. Simply put, she might even end up in a worse state after this. “We’re keeping this a secret for now. After we go back, we’ll come up with a plan,” said Shirley.

“I can keep her under surveillance right now.”

“No, not for now. I’m trying to set her up so that she’ll expose herself,” said Shirley.

“We’ll go with your plan, then.” Zacharias patted Shirley’s head, feeling for her. It must suck to be betrayed by a friend.
