Chapter 221 - 222 Snake in the Grass
‘You do realise the woman Rhys was into was Catherine, right?’ I said, staring at Daniel. ‘Why did you come here?’
His mouth pulled tight.
‘I didn’t know that at first. I just knew he had a fiancée. I got back to Skyline and found out he’d married someone else. But I followed him and Catherine for a while. They fought all the time. I don’t think he gives a damn about her. I think he’s still into you.’
I shook my head. ‘You’re reading into things. He’s not.’
‘We’re related. I know how he thinks. He regrets it. He wishes he hadn’t married her.’
I couldn’t be bothered to argue. ‘That’s between them. Let’s talk about you. I don’t buy that you came here just to see what I looked like. What else were you after?’
He stared at the floor. ‘Nothing. I had nowhere to go. No money. I didn’t know anyone here. I saw the job listing and took a shot.’
I folded my arms. ‘You’re Clive Granger’s son. Don’t tell me you were broke.’
His whole expression changed.
Something mean flashed across his face, then vanished.
His eyes welled up.
‘Clive wanted us gone. After he shipped us overseas, he stopped answering calls. He paid my tuition and nothing else. My mum and I moved flats five times in two years. I worked three jobs just to cover groceries. Every designer label I wear is fake. I couldn’t even afford a bloody phone when mine broke.’
