Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: 372-Hiding In Plain Sight

Verity:

My mood had already been off because Theodore and Jaguar had messaged me, asking me to help create a welcoming atmosphere for Gigi.

That was how I found out she was coming back to the mansion.

Honestly, what happened to her was terrible. I wasn’t denying that.

But things here were already depressing enough, and having those two ask me to prepare a welcome for her felt incredibly inappropriate.

When my brother had hurt Gigi, everyone had looked at me with so much hatred, as though I were somehow responsible for what he had done.

But now, after Gigi’s brother had wronged all of us, she was still being showered with love.

And somehow, I, one of her brother’s victims, was expected to help prepare her welcome.

The whole thing felt wrong.

What surprised me most was that neither Theodore nor Jaguar seemed to realize how inappropriate it was.

But Gigi was already here now, and we were all sitting in the living room.

She sat there with a soft, sorrowful expression on her face.

Lady Lucille had already left. Before leaving, she had merely asked Gigi how she was in a dry tone and said she hoped Gigi would find some peace.

Jenna left not long after, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Bundy.

Mrs. Bundy clearly hadn’t wanted to be part of Gigi’s welcome either.

Unfortunately, I had to stay.

Jaguar had specifically asked me to remain with Gigi so there would be another woman around and she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

It was strange how differently every victim was treated.

"How is the office going?"

Gigi’s question snapped me out of my thoughts.

I gave her a small nod to indicate that everything was going well.

"I mean, I hope their absence from the office hasn’t caused any problems," she added, gesturing toward Theodore and Jaguar.

Both of them immediately avoided my eyes.

"No. They’ve actually been working pretty hard," I replied, not understanding why she was bringing this up. "They leave for meetings early in the morning and don’t come back until late at night."

They’ve been so busy these past few days that they haven’t even had much time to spend with me.

"What did they tell you?" Gigi asked.

I frowned slightly. "That they were going to meetings."

She turned toward them, giving them a playful, warning look.

"They were at the hospital with me," she revealed. "Both of them were driving me crazy, but honestly, having them there really lifted my spirits."

My heart dropped.

I forced a weak, brittle smile onto my face when all I really wanted to do was scream at them.

Theodore and Jaguar had gone completely quiet, their expressions giving them away immediately.

They knew they had been caught.

And somehow, the fact that they had lied to me about it hurt more than anything else.

They had spent all that time with Gigi and deliberately hidden it from me.

Why?
