I smiled brightly when I saw the surprised expression on her face.
I took a step forward, and instantly, there were only a few centimeters between Harriet and me. I could clearly see the pimple on her forehead and covered my mouth while smiling lightly. I signaled for her to look to the side. "Miss Osborn, why not take a look there?"
At that, Harriet looked in the direction I was referring to, and Shannon emerged from the grass with a mobile phone in hand. She pointed it at Harriet with a proud face.
"Don't worry, there’s also another one over there."
She followed my gaze and looked back. Marius also stood up then, holding the phone in his hand.
I had made arrangements for tonight.
I did not expect Harriet to expose herself so easily and effortlessly, though.
"It’ll look more convincing post-edit if this was shot from multiple angles. Your words just now were pretty incisive, Miss Osborn." There was a smile in my tone, and I looked at Harriet with a playful look in my eyes.
Harriet's reaction was within my expectation. I observed her face turn from red to white. At this moment, it was hideous.
She gulped. It looked like she was nervous.
My eyes lingered on her, but I said nothing.
Now, it was Harriet's turn to perform.
Even though her lips were sealed shut, I could tell she was secretly gritting her teeth. She must be filled with anger now but had nowhere to vent it. The outcome of such forbearance was not usually very good.
Finally, Harriet spoke.
"You knew that I would look for you, so you had them hide here. Your job was to get me to say all those, right?" Harriet glared at me. She sounded like she wanted to tear me apart.
