Chapter 201 What About Mommy Dearest?
Leonica sped towards her family house at full speed, feeling extremely panicked and on edge as she recalled the conversation she had with Irene back at the Church’s parking lot.
"Irene," Leonica had called out after answering the phone. "Why are you calling me?"
"You wound me Leonica!" Irene exclaimed, being unnecessary dramatic. "Are siblings not allowed to call one another?"
Not us, Leonica thought as she tried thinking of a reason why Irene had called, it certainly wasn’t so that they can bond over boy talk.
After a few seconds of thinking, she came up with nothing and Irene, showed no sign of revealing the reason why she had called, so Leonica took this as an opportunity to confirm the thought that had slipped into her mind after Florence informed her of Irene’s appearance at Jamil’s office.
"Since you don’t want to talk, I’ll ask you this. Do you happen to know anything about Jamil Vanadas’s death."
"That Asshole?" She scoffed, not sounding the least bit surprised to hear about his death. Although Leonica knew his death was all over the news, she couldn’t help but feel that Irene was sounding a bit too relaxed. "So he actually didn’t make it." She laughed, the sound causing Leonica’s brows to dip.
Now she was just sounding as if she had already known Jamil’s fate.
"Then," Leonica started. "Are you the reason he didn’t make it."
The line was silent for a while and that’s when Irene said the words that put Leonica on complete edge. "You’re worrying about that dead fool, what about mommy dearest?"
Leonica’s expression became puzzled. "What?"
