Chapter 142: Keeping Secrets
Dorothy wanted to speak more but Rory softly patted her hand asking her to calm down. They are in a dire state where they cannot reveal what they are thinking. It would be better if that person thinks that she is a fool who didn’t figure out all the clues that were laid out in front of her for a long time.
I’ll pretend to be a fool for a couple more days... And in the end, I will make sure you get dragged by the cops, handcuffed and humiliated, just like you made my Liam get dragged!
Rory vowed in her heart.
Rory talked about Ellie, effectively turning Dorothy’s attention elsewhere. Derick excused himself and went out. Rory looked at her phone and smirked.
She was pretty sure that her phone was hacked. And who knows? Allison did receive a text from her phone number for the meet-up. Allison might have thought it was from her, but it was from someone else--the killer.
And who knows? Her phone still might be getting hacked. And he might be listening to what she is speaking through the microphone of her phone. She was pretty sure that that person is not going to leave her alone after everything.
Why does he hate us this much? We never hurt him, did we? To kill people just to frame Liam and hurt me... What did we do to deserve all of this?
Whatever it is, he is a psychopath. He cannot be reasoned with.
Rory knew that the best way to put him off is to pretend that she didn’t figure him out. He thinks he is smart and that no one has figured him out. She will give him what he wants. She will make him revel in his smartness.
She cannot afford to give him any reason to doubt her.
