Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Of course, I wouldn't comply.

My voice cout cold. "I don't think I have done anything wrong, though." At my words, Steven becagitated. I ignored him and turned back into my bedroom.

"Annalise!" Jessica suddenly piped up.

I turned my head around to look at her. Indeed, she was beautiful. She looked stunning even with light makeup and a simple hairdo.

For sreason, she needed to tell me, "I only prepared breakfast for four... I'm sorry. I was so used to preparing breakfast for them at my house that I forgot I'm not hnow..." She spoke with lowered eyes, teary and heart- wrenching.

"You did nothing wrong!" Steven couldn't bear watching Jessica cry. "Don't apologize to her." Her beady tears fell, and she said pitifully, "But Annalise dislikes me. She might actually resentif I don't get her forgiveness. She took my room last night, and now..." She glanced atamid her words, blatantly insinuating that I was targeting her.

I took a mental note of everything I saw now. Once I exposed all her shameful deeds, I would stand before her again, tall and upright.

I hoped she could maintain her lying, manipulative, and evil antics by then. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her.

Steven was convinced. "Look at you, Annalise. Why can't you be as kind as Jessica? She did nothing and was willing to compromise and apologize to you.

"And what did you do? You took her room last night and frightened her, yet you don't feel an ounce of remorse." He looked atwith blame.

I almost rolled my eyes at him because of how ridiculous he was. All of that just to frme for something I didn't do? I questioned back, "What did you expect? Was I supposed to get on my knees and beg her for my room after I chome? Should I thank you for so graciously lettingsleep in my own bed? Do I owe you my life for that?" I didn't want to continue this conversation and headed to the main door. It seemed I had to finalize the divorce soon, or they would drivecrazy.

Jessica looked like she was about to cry. "Annalise ignored me. Is she still blaming me?" Steven's heart ached for her. "I dare her!" Alright. Challenge accepted.

I arrived at a breakfast shop and ordered ssandwiches. After taking my seat, I fished out my spy brooch camera and recorder pen from my pocket.

I had recorded everything that happened at hover the last few days. It was for backup, just in case. Perhaps these footage and recordings would helpagainst my case one day.

People who committed vicious acts were bound to pay someday.

I smiled, fastening the brooch back onto my shirt.

I returned hafter breakfast and bumped into Steven and the others at the door. His footsteps halted.

Zachary explained, "It's Saturday, and I don't have classes So we're having vel a family field trip today."

Since Jessica moved into our home, s Zachary had long regarded them as his new family. He didn't bother concealing his disdain for me. "You'd better not cuninvited because you're just gonna be a downer!"

Jessica toldwith a smile, "But we're coming back for dinner tonight. So, thanks in advance for the meal, Annalise."
