Chapter 655 The Knife Between Them

Chapter 655 The Knife Between Them.

Aella backed away, her guard up, and grabbed a spare kitchen knife from behind her.

Tyrone wasn’t a decent human being, and this Zach was even worse.

She had blocked Tyrone on everything days ago, and if he had tried to reach out even once, he would have noticed.

But up until now, he hadn’t come looking for her at all.

That meant he had never once tried to contact her.

And had no idea she’d even blocked him.

Aella screamed Cassandra’s name. “Cassandra, get in here right now!”

Even if she was the most trusting person alive, she knew she’d been set up by Cassandra.

She had treated Cassandra like a real friend, and Cassandra had turned around and stabbed her in the back.

Despite everything, a small ache of betrayal still stung in her chest.

Zach said, “Don’t bother. Your friend already went home. Tonight, you could scream until your lungs give out, and nobody’s coming to save you.”

Aella tightened her grip on the kitchen knife and kept it behind her back.

She warned Zach, “You piece of trash. Give me back my phone!”

Right in front of her, Zach powered off Aella’s phone.

Aella’s heart dropped into her stomach.

She kept both hands behind her back, gripping the knife with white knuckles.

When Zach started moving toward her with that disgusting smirk on his face, Aella swung the knife at him.

Even though Zach dodged fast, the blade still sliced through his sleeve and nicked his skin, drawing blood.

While Zach was caught off guard, Aella bolted out of the kitchen with the knife in hand.

Jenny was lounging in the living room, casually chatting on the phone with Zera, when Aella suddenly came charging out of the kitchen wielding a knife–she nearly dropped her phone.

The second Aella saw Jenny, every fiber of her being wanted to take a swing at that woman, but right now all that mattered was getting out of here.

Aella rushed to the front door with the knife and found it locked.

She spun around.

Zach and Jenny were both staring at her with smug, triumphant grins.

Zach casually took off his jacket and tossed it aside.

He pointed at the knife in Aella’s hand and taunted, “Be a good girl–put the knife down and apologize to me nicely. Maybe I’ll be gentle with you.”

“Zach, Tyrone’s the heir to the Winters. But you’re the golden child of the Townsends. The Winters might be old money, but the Townsends are one of the top eight families in Vleka. Tyrone beat you to a pulp–are you seriously just going to take that lying down?”

Before Zach could respond, Aella jumped in to drive a wedge between them.

“Zach, you’re the heir to the Townsends. Jenny is nothing but the Townsends‘ dirty little secret—an illegitimate daughter with zero claim to the inheritance.”

Aella pressed on. “Jenny’s reputation is in the gutter, and the Townsends already kicked her out. She’s got nothing left to lose, which means she doesn’t care if you go down too. She’s using you as her weapon!”

Zach turned his gaze toward Jenny,

Jenny fired back instantly. “Zach, don’t let this woman get in your head. The only reason I went up against Tyrone and this bitch was because I couldn’t stand watching them walk all over you.”

Jenny added, “Zach, the Winters may be untouchable, but the Townsends aren’t exactly pushovers either.”

Jenny leaned in close to Zach’s ear and whispered, “Once you sleep with her tonight, she’s yours. Tyrone is a cold, calculating man. There’s no way he’d start a war with the Townsends over one woman.”

Jenny egged him on further. “The Reids are well–respected in Vleka too. You’re crazy about Aella–worst–case scenario, you just ‘do the right thing‘ and make it official. Even if Tyrone wanted to come after you, what could he really do?”

Zach patted Jenny on the shoulder approvingly. “You’re right. Once what’s done is done, she won’t have a choice but to be with ne!”
