    Chapter 86


    How could Megan not see that?


    Yet she didn’t argue and let Sullivan call the shots. After all, a smart woman knows she doesn’t need to


    steal the spotlight on asions


    like this.


    Everyone thought Sullivan would decline.


    Instead, Sullivan leaned forward, stubbed out his cigarette, and said nonchntly, “Let’s y!”


    He used to attend these kinds of gatherings, not really into these childish games, but today, he


    surprisingly joined the fray.


    Megan sat beside him, his arm casually draped over her shoulder.


    They looked like the picture–perfect couple.


    When Megan asionally lost a round, Sullivan would pull her close, his warm hand gently caressing


    her delicate cheek, tantly unting their affection.


    Megan knew he was doing it on purpose, and she yed along.


    The others joked around, but the Leach siblings‘ faces grew darker by the minute, especially Bet,


    whose expression could have curdled milk.


    Megan lost again.


    This round was Truth or Dare, and the winner, Bet, was to ask the question.


    Bet picked up his beer mug, took a hefty swig of the strong brew, while Timothy, sensing his


    friend’s agitation, whispered, “Take it easy. Bet! We’ve all been ying together since we were


    kids, and they’ve been married for years. It’s not worth it!”


    Bet shoved him away. Staring at Megan’s serene face, Bet dropped a bombshell, “Megan, do


    you have someone you like right now?”


    Silence fell over the room.


    Everyone knew what Bet’s question implied – he had feelings for Megan! It was taboo, after all,


    Megan was Sullivan’s wife


    Eyes stealthily nced at Sullivan.


    Sullivan was unruffled, seemingly unsurprised, still holding Megan close. He also seemed to have


    known about Bet’s feelings all along.


    Victoria was the first to speak up, looking at her brother, she burst out, “Bet, have you lost your


    mind?”


    She tried to pull Bet away, but Bet pushed her aside and insisted, “Megan, do you have


    someone you like right now?”


    The atmosphere grew tenser!


    Megan was in an awkward spot.


    Bet was making it difficult for her, and Sullivan showed no sign of intervening. She thought this


    might be why Sullivan brought her here. He had seen through Bet’s intentions and was deliberately


    provoking him.


    Megan knew the best thing to do was to profess her love for Sullivan on the spot, telling everyone


    against her true feelings how deeply she loves Sullivan.


    But…


    Megan lowered her gaze, a faint smile ying on her lips, suddenly not wanting to be so rational.


    ? ? ? ? ?


    She looked Bet in the eye and answered seriously, “No.”


    The mood froze.


    No one expected Megan to respond like that, including Sullivan,


    His face turned even gloomier than Bet’s, clearly stung by Megan’s response. A man of his pride


    andposure stood abruptly. saying with restraint, “We’re leaving!”


    Megan knew he was angry. But she had no regrets!


    Sullivan would likely just pin her down on the bed and have his way with her. She didn’t care anymore.


    As they were about to leave, Bet spoke in a dark tone, “Sullivan, Megan doesn’t like you anymore!*

    Sullivan let go of Megan. He turned to Bet with a coldugh, “Whether she likes me or not, she is


    Mrs. Lowry! Bet, that’s a fact you can never change.”


    ?? ?? ?? ???? ?? ?


    Bet began undoing his shirt buttons.

    Victoria screamed, even using his full name, “Bet Leach, have you lost your mind?”


    Bet faced Sullivan, fists ready, his voice filled with defiance, “No! What’s wrong with liking a


    woman? So what if she’s my friend’s wife? Sullivan, she doesn’t love you. Every second she spends


    with you is just an act. Why can’t you admit that?”
