Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: 226-On A Date With My Enemy

Verity:

It looked like she was trying to hide it from me, even though I was sitting right in front of her.

"Oh—"

Gigi made a thoughtful sound.

I kept watching her.

Normally, Gigi would never change her plans for anyone.

But this time, she nodded.

"Okay. Fine."

As soon as she agreed, I bit the inside of my cheek.

So Jenna was trying to sneak out by using us.

That couldn’t be good.

I mean, she was an adult. She could go wherever she wanted.

Still, something about Gigi being involved in it didn’t sit right with me.

"Can we talk?" Jenna asked in a quiet, pleading tone.

Gigi didn’t look like she enjoyed talking to her.

She kept glancing away, but Jenna was persistent.

Something about all of it felt wrong.

At the same time, it felt very suspicious.

"About what, Jenna?" Gigi asked with a slightly forced laugh.

"Oh, by the way, you two talk. I’ll go sit with them. You know Ragnar gets really upset if I don’t spend time with the brothers."

She spoke in a light, raspy voice, fixing her hair before getting up and walking away.

The look on Jenna’s face reminded me of someone who had been completely defeated.

Someone who was losing hope.

"You’re going to sneak out?" I asked.

The moment I spoke, Jenna looked up at me.

The softness she had shown while talking to Gigi disappeared.

"I’m not sneaking out. I’m a grown woman, and I don’t want to upset Lady Lucille. So I’ve decided to go out without telling her. Is there a problem with that?"

The way she rattled off the entire sentence without taking a breath or blinking once made me tilt my head.

"What is going on, Jenna? I know you think I’m the sister of an abusive man, so I don’t deserve any kindness or anything. But you do. You deserve kindness. You deserve respect."

My words seemed to bring her entire world to a halt.

She froze.

Then her lips began to quiver, as though she were whispering something to herself, trying to remind herself of something, or maybe repeating what I had just told her.

But before she reached any conclusion, she shook her head and took a deep breath.

She had convinced herself not to rely on me.

"Nothing’s happening. I’m completely fine. I’m just worried about my dress, that’s all."

There was a bitterness in her voice.

Then she stood up and walked back to Lady Lucille.

Well, I wasn’t naïve.

Not even a little.

But whenever my instincts told me something was wrong, I trusted them.

And right now, they were telling me, loud and clear, that Jenna was in trouble.

My eyes shifted to Gigi.

I didn’t know why, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that she had something to do with all of it.

It couldn’t be a coincidence that every innocent girl who crossed paths with Gigi ended up getting hurt.

Well, if that was the case, then this time I was going to ruin Gigi’s plans.

Later that night, Gigi and I got ready for our dinner outing.

I wore a light gray dress, while she chose a purple one.
