Chapter 418
“Of course! You still haven’t mentioned why you needed to see me,” Samantha replied breezily
“A few days ago, when I went to see Ellora, she told me she wanted to treat you to dinner. She has yet to properly thank you for the help you offered during that phone call,” Cynthia began, weaving together the strands of their conversation.
Samantha brashed off the thanks with an indifferent laugh. “There’s no need for formalities. It was nothing.”
To you, perhaps. However, to her, it meant saving a child. She plans to host you tonight at the place where she’s staying. She’s even prepared a teast with her own hands,” Cynthia retorted, keeping the conversation flowing.
“Where is she staying?” Samantha asked
Cynthia paused, locking eyes with Samantha. ‘You don’t know?”
“Uh.7” Samantha looked genuinely puzzled.
“Didn’t you inform Chyler about it?” Cynthia laid her cards on the table.

Samantha stared back blankly. “Inform about what?”
Cynthia watched her in silence.
Have w
you misunderstand something, or has someone misled you? Since returning to Nexuria, I haven’t been in contact with Chyler” Samantha inquired.
“Ms. Tanz, there’s no point in playing damb anymore,” Cynthia responded, her tone remaining cool.
“I truly have no idea” Samantha’s face was a picture of innocence.
If Cynthia had not suspected and investigated further, she might have been fooled by such an innocent look. It was too innocent, too bewildered.
Samantha furrowed her brows. “So, you invited me out today because you thought 1 informed Chyler? You’re looking to cause me trouble on purpose?
“Yes,” Cynthia responded, unwilling to waste time bearing around the bush.
Heavers, 1 swear I didn’t do it. Whoever told you this, you’d best stay away from them. Even if I knew where Ellora was after what happened last time, there’s no way I would’ve informed Chyler. I have no reason to. I don’t hold any grudges against Ellora,” Samantha insisted, maintaining her calin throughout.
You might not, with her. However, you do with me. You like Joshua, don’t you?” Cynthia countered, nearly swayed by Samantha’s acting skills.
Samantha seemed even more confused “How could I possibly like Joshua? If I did, why would I have rejected the arranged marriage proposed by my grandfather?”
“Samantha,” Cynthia cut her off.
“Hm?”
“Right now, it’s just the two of us. There’s no need to pretend. Me being here means I’ve confirmed it was you.”
