Wilfred did not hide anything, revealing it all plainly.

Miranda was shocked. "Why would you do this? Do you realize how much this affects me? I asked you to take care of Nina, thinking her death could save us. But instead, you pushed me into the fire. Why did you do this?"

The bread in Wilfred's hand had been eaten by the pigeons. He brushed the crumbs off his coat. "There was no transaction between us. You didn't pay me, and I didn't ask for your money. Nina paid me for your information. Out of respect for the money, I couldn't refuse."

"Wilfred!" Miranda growled. "This is not a joke! We're supposed to be in this together!"

Wilfred's slight smile faded, and he replied calmly, "I know exactly what I'm doing. As compensation, I'll restore your hearing."

"I don't understand you anymore," Miranda said, almost laughing at the absurdity. "I thought we were the same. I believed you'd always help me, but then you sold me out to Nina. Who are you? Unless there's something between you and Nina that I don't know about!"

Wilfred said, "Some things are better left unknown. Curiosity killed the cat."

He paused and then added, "If you can't solve the problems you're facing, you're not Miranda. I do whatever I want, purely for my own amusement."

Miranda sensed something was off with Wilfred. His actions made no sense to her.

"You'll end up destroying yourself!" she warned.

Wilfred chuckled. "Do you think you'll live longer than me?"
