Chapter 278

I always trusted Russel more, and this screenshot just made me more suspicious of Neil.

His performance last night was so good that I almost thought I was misinterpreting him.

“I get it.” I said, wanting to drop the subject after seeing the photo. I bit back my uneasiness and said it calmly
