All too late for his love

Chapter 113

Hearing Alexis words, Skyler's face drained of color. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't find her voice

Alexis's lively voice continued, "Ms. Dawson, I've made an enemy of you today. With your petty personality, I'm sure you won't let this slide! "Mark my words! If anything bad happens to me, it'll be your doing, Ms. Dawson! Even if I fall my exams at school, it'll be because of you!"

Skyler did plan to teach Alexis a lesson later. But Alexis was too wise.

After this declaration, Skyler didn't dare to mess with her.

Besides, Skyler felt wronged. How were Alexis grades her concern?

"What now, Skyler? Do I need to check fingerprints and surveillance footage before you admit to what you did?"

Kenan fiddled with Willow's hand, the smile fading from his cheruble face as his voice took on a heavy threatening tone. "Skyler, how stubborn can you

be?

"I...

Skyler stumbled, her mind racing. No amount of smooth-talking could save her if they checked the surveillance and fingerprints.

It was better to admit guilt now and play the victim, at least she would save some dignity.

After all, time was on her side. She had no urgency to destroy Willow right away. There would be other opportunities.

With this in mind, Skyler quickly conjured up tears. Like a forsaken kitten, she pitifully clung to Zayn's sleeve.

"Zayn, I'm sorry, I lied to you. Alexis is right. I had her deliver the wine to Mr. Mayer."

Zayn's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize the woman before him.

Meeting Zayn's gaze, Skyler felt utterly embarrassed. But she was always one to bend when needed.

For the sake of her long-term plans, she continued, tears streaming down her face. "Zayn, I had Alexis deliver the wine, but it wasn't to frame Lolo.

"I admit, I had ulterior motives. Zayn, even if you refuse to admit it, I can tell you haven't forgotten Lolo

"I'm just a regular woman. The man I love has feelings for another woman, and it hurts. I feel jealous, insecure, and sad.

"Zayn, you know, every time you're with Lolo, I'm so heartbroken. I don't understand why. For four years I was by your side, risking everything for you Yet you can't seem to forget her.

"I feel insecure. I'm afraid you'll leave me. That's why I hope Lolo finds her true love and moves on with someone else.

"I know Lolo is interested in Mr. Mayer. Tonight, she was asking around about him. On impulse, I thought I'd help her. I assumed if they got together she'd be happy. Then, I wouldn't have to worry about you two rekindling your old flame. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

"But then I got scared. I was worried Lolo would blame me for interfering. That's why I called you to stop it all.

"I was afraid you'd despise me,

I

thinking how wicked I can bed've been too afraid to admit until now

that I'm the one who did this."

Skyler's face was wet with tears as she looked at Zayn pitifully. "Zaym am I that evil? I know what I did tonight was awful, but I'm so afraid of losing you

"I've already lost our child. I can't lose you too! Zayn, please don't leave me, okay?"

Zayn felt like a fool. Hearing Skyler's words, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

He was glad it wasn't Willow who drugged Matthew to get into his bed. But that joylasted only for a moment before his heart sank again.
