The Moment I Stepped Into His World as the Fake Girlfriend, I Became the Real Prize novel Chapter 99

It was Sasha.

Standing opposite the young man, Elena recognized the voice instantly.

Her immediate reaction was that this felt off; the timing was far too perfect.

Earlier that day, Sterling and Lydia had gone into The Whispering Grove to talk, only for it to end in a bitter fallout.

Then, thanks to the altercation between her and Sasha, the situation had spiraled into an even messier, more unpleasant public spectacle.

And now, in the blink of an eye, Lydia was suddenly in peril?

And how convenient that it happened exactly while she was on the phone with Sasha!

Lydia had to know that if Sasha thought she was in danger, the first person she'd call was Sterling.

This made Elena even more curious about the psychological game Lydia was playing.

"Are you telling the truth?"

In contrast, Sterling's expression turned grim as he strode to the closet, grabbing a jacket and pulling it on.

He turned, ready to bolt out the door.

With him on speakerphone, Elena could clearly hear Sasha's thinly veiled barbs. "Of course it's true! I would never joke about Lydia's safety!"

"Sterling, even if you've moved on and found a new girlfriend, can you really just sit back and watch Lydia get hurt?"

"You know exactly what kind of place she lives in. It's run-down and completely unsafe at night. It's so easy for creeps to target her..."

As Sasha trailed off, Elena trotted forward and reminded him, "If it's an emergency, call the police first!"

The moment she spoke, Sasha heard her, and her tone turned even more piercing. "Sterling, are you actually living with Elena?"

"Lydia is waiting for you to save her, and you're going to let that bitch stop you?"

Elena internally questioned Sasha's intelligence while simultaneously deciding that Lydia was probably perfectly fine.

"It's going to take time for us to get there. What's wrong with calling the cops first?"

The implication was clear: Elena was going with him.
