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.

The conversation wasn’t crystal clear, but it was a smoking gun which proved their knowledge and involvement.

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

About half an hour later, Neil rang me up and asked, “Where did this come from?”

“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.”

“Alright, I got it,” Neil sounded serious, “When did she give this to you?”

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.

Seeing me silent, Neil probably figured out my answer. He didn’t blame me or mock me; he just sighed lightly.

“I’m not keeping anything from you anymore!”

Instead of grilling me, Neil’s soft sigh made me feel even guiltier.
