Chapter 71 Speak Of The Devil, And He Shall Appear.
“Just because I Chose to keep quiet, doesn’t mean you should take me for a fool, Angelina.”
“What...what do you mean?” The brunette stuttered. Gabriel’s earlier words had knocked some of her missing sense back into her, returning her attitude to the calm, meek and weak damsel Gabriel knew her once to be. “I’d never take you for a fool, Gabriel. I love you.”
“Yeah? And I’m supposed to believe that?” Reaching into the pocket of his leather jacket, Gabriel fished out his phone whilst asking.
“Do you doubt it?” The female questioned back.
Not answering her question immediately, Gabriel tinkered with his phone for a few seconds, a minute at most, before he tossed it into her lap. “Nowadays, I really do doubt that.”
Looking down at the phone, Angelina became speechless at the video that was playing.
It was surveillance footage from the night of Stellar’s birthday party, showing that Leonica had been the one who stepped into the room. And the later part, early in the morning, showed the very same female scrambling out of the room and she later stepping in.
Angelina breathing became labored, panic setting in much like before. “How... how did you get this?” She uttered the question in her mind.
How had Gabriel indeed gotten it? After all, she had made sure to delete the surveillance footage before she left the hotel that morning, so how was she watching it right now, on Gabriel’s phone?
“Beats me, Ange.” Gabriel answered, shrugging his shoulders almost nonchalantly. “How about I ask a different question; why did you lie to me?” This time around, it was Gabriel’s turn to do the questioning.
Angelina only dared to look up once, but the moment she saw his intense gaze, she quickly lowered her head, brain scrambling for answers, or at least a safe way out of this predicament.
