Verity:
As her finger pointed toward me, all eyes turned in my direction.
"What did I do?" I asked calmly.
There was something different about the way they were looking at me.
Ragnar had a strange anger in his eyes. Theodore looked guilty.
Jaguar seemed confused.
"I want water, please."
The moment she explained why she had been pointing at me, the two brothers let out a breath.
Ragnar, meanwhile, simply closed his eyes and sighed.
I wasn’t sure whether it was relief or exhaustion.
I immediately moved closer to her, knelt down, and held out the water.
Jaguar took the glass from my hands and started helping her drink.
However, I noticed how quickly Ragnar took the glass from him.
It seemed as though she had them wrapped around her little finger.
I did not want to be the weird one for saying this, but her attitude toward the brothers seemed a lot like mine.
I had been trying to do the same thing, to get their attention and make them mine alone, until I ended up driving them apart.
Slowly, they helped her up from the floor.
Then Theodore rushed to grab a chair and placed it behind her.
She sat down and took a few deep breaths while finishing the rest of the water.
Then she shifted in her seat and stared at Ragnar.
"She’s not lying," Gigi uttered.
I frowned in confusion because it seemed like she was talking about me.
The others glanced at me before turning their attention back to her.
She looked at me again.
"What did you say about the unknown number texting you?" she asked, wiping the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand.
She did it haphazardly, as if she was still shaking.
"Someone had been texting me and threatening me," I responded, somewhat absentmindedly.
I was trying to gather as much information as possible from her and figure out why she was asking me this question again.
And what did it have to do with her dramatic reentry into the office?
"Exactly."
She then turned to Ragnar after saying that. Her tongue darted across her lips as if her mouth had gone dry.
"Tell me what happened."
The way Ragnar held her hand between both of his enraged me.
She didn’t deserve any comfort after what she had put my brother through.
But of course, I kept a concerned expression on my face.
"I went home because I wanted to confirm a few things," she mumbled before looking around in confusion.
However, Theodore suddenly held out a hand, her bag dangling from it.
