Chapter 335

I was in a real pickle, wondering if I should hand over the USB stick to Neil.

Malinda, the smart cookie, gathered a lot of dirt on Bonnie. What intrigued me the most was a conversation between Bonnie and Kate Aaron she stumbled upon, hinting at money laundering involving StarGlow Enterprises.

After stewing over it for a bit, I finally copied all the evidence from the USB stick and shot it over to Neil.

“Malinda gave it to me,” I confessed, “Malinda approached me once before and gave me this stuff. I’ve been covering for her this whole time. If Bonnie knew, she’d be in hot water.”

I thought for a moment and then spilled the beans.

Neil went silent for a bit, then chuckled, “Didn’t want to tell me earlier, huh? Keeping me at arm’s length?”

That question was a bit awkward because I was indeed keeping him at bay. Only after all we’ve been through those days did I decide to hand over the document. It was the last piece of the puzzle between us.
