My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Like a Lamb to the Slaughter

There was a strange atmosphere in the car.

Abbot went scarlet with embarrassment and hastened to explain, "She's just my admirer."

Faye nodded without comment, while Colin gave Abbot a wry look.

After transferring five thousand dollars to the girl, Abbot put his cellphone in his pocket and turned to Colin and Faye. "Believe me, she's really my admirer and a college girl. I think she's a very innocent girl. You know, she hasn't seen me but admires me very much."

Colin said with a smile, "Owing to your money?"

Abbot cast an angry glance at Colin. "How can you believe so badly of her? She didn't even know I'm rich when she friended me."

Colin laughed. "Then why was she asking you to pay for the bag?"

"She was not asking me to pay! She was asking me whether the bag of five thousand dollars is too expensive. How can a college girl have so much money? So I offered her the money."

Colin gave Abbot a sympathetic look.

Abbot waited but both Colin and Faye kept silent, then he continued to explain, "You've thought too much of it. The college girl added my Line account coincidentally. She wanted to befriend her roommate but entered the wrong number."

Colin gave a quiet laugh. "What a coincidence."

Abbot looked sidelong at Colin. "How can you always think ill of others? Can't you believe there are pure-minded people in this world?"

"Yes, of course. You're a very pure-minded man I've ever seen." Colin put on a mocking smile.

Abbot was speechless with anger.

Flattered by her attentions, Abbot thought to himself, "What a kind girl she is. She took the money just because she doesn't want me to be mad."

When Abbot was texting on his cellphone, Colin leaned his head toward Faye, as if he would say something.

As Faye came closer to him, he put his arm around her waist and asked with an amused look on his face. "Is that Rebecca who chats with Abbot?"

"I don't know," Faye said.

Colin grinned. "No wonder she invited us to dinner. It turns out Abbot will pay for it."

Afraid of being teased by him, Faye held back her smile, keeping a straight face and saying, "He's like a lamb to the slaughter."

"A stupid lamb." Colin continued after a pause, as if struck by a sudden idea, "Hank and me, who do you trust more?" He sniffed her fragrant hair.
