Chapter 310
“Yeah, but you reek of alcohol. I was this close to puking when I helped you out.”
“Look who’s talking. I splashed half a glass of wine on myself just to make it look real. At least show some respect for my professionalism.”
“I can marry you.” I winked at her.
“I don’t swing that way, so that’s useless.”
“What do you want, then?”
“Put this on your tab for now. I’ll cash in eventually.” Then she laughed, I laughed, and we cackled like fools for a while. Isabella stopped eventually, asking, “What do you think Carson will do, Lily?”
“Hard to say.”
“Will he confront Jolene? She’s going to counter that easily.” Isabella was worried.
“I don’t think so. He must know Eliza’s boyfriend is a male prostitute by now, but he hides it well. If he hadn’t told Jolene before this, he won’t tell her now. After all, he suspects Robin’s involvement in this.”
When I told Isabella about Eliza cutting herself, she sighed. “Wow, that’s some family. Carson is alert enough to look into this right now. Why couldn’t he wait until the money is paid? That way, Carson and his trash family would get heart attacks. That would be–a–sight to behold.””
“Don’t beat yourself up, Lily. You’re different from her. You fell for it because Carson wasn’t aiming for money. Besides, if you’re really a gold digger like Eliza is, you wouldn’t have fallen for a poor sod like Carson back then.”
“Stop trying to cheer me up. I did make a mistake, but I’ve learned from it. That’s what’s important. I still have a chance to turn the tables.”
