Harvey froze where he stood, no wordsing out of his mouth. He looked at Reba in disbelief as if he never expected such words woulde out of her mouth. Reba just smiled mysteriously, touched Harvey’s chest and went out after throwing a triumphant nce at Alicia.


    “What was that, Harvey?!<b>” </b>


    Reba was pleased to hear Alicia scream frantically at Harvey. She should have done it a long time ago; why was she so foolish and acting like an angel? She recognized that sometimes being wicked was necessary so that people would think twice about hurting her.


    “That slut and her allies need to be punished and I’ll do it with my own hands! <b>I </b>promise!‘ she muttered, clenching her fists.


    She checked her watch, and it showed four in the afternoon. She didn’t want to return to Nichs‘ apartment because she’d never felt safe there, especially after what happened earlier that day. Finally, she decided to clear her mind by walking around Fifth Avenue without any intention of shopping. She bought arge ss of bitter coffee and drank it while walking on the sidewalk.


    While stopping in front of the Tiffany store, she heard the horn honk multiple times, and someone yelled her name. She turned to see where the sound wasing from and saw Nichs waving from inside the car.


    Reba frowned in surprise. She looked around and wondered if she was being followed.


    “Nic? Why are you suddenly here?” She didn’t bother hiding her suspicion.


    “You didn’t look at your cellphone, did you? I told you I had a meeting at the X Cafe near here. Becky, do you honestly believe I am a criminal?” Nichs made a pathetic expression.


    Reba gave an uneasy smile, “No, of course not! I’m sorry…”


    Nichs smiled, patted her back gently. “I don’t have any ns after this; do you want to go home together? We can eat at my favorite vegetarian restaurant near the apartment,” he said enthusiastically.

    Reba wanted to refuse, but her tongue was too tight to deliver it, so all she did was nod and get into Nichs‘ car, ignoring her fear.


    “As far as I remember, your schedule was tight until 8 pm, so what were you doing there?” Nichs asked with his gaze straight at the road.


    Reba cleared her throat. “The events were cancelled, so I had quite a lot of free tim she said casually. She didn’t want Nichs to read her mind.


    Suddenly, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Cathy: ‘I found something. Meet me at the usual ce.


    Reba nced at Nichs, then cleared her throat. “Nic, Cathy needs to see me rigl away to set the schedule and everything. Can you take me to meet her? She is in a caf near here,”


    Nichs’s face hardened. “What about our dinner?” he asked tly.


    “I’ll cook something for us,” said Reba, pping her hands lightly. “Really?” Nichol turned to look at her, holding back a smile. “Yeah, why not? Home cooking is healthic right?” She tried to hard to sound sincere.


    “Great!” He eximed as he drove his car to the cafe, where Cathy has been waiting fo Reba toe. “Thanks, Nic! Don’t forget to take your vitamins,” said Reba as sl jumped out of the car.


    Nichs smiled. “See you at home, then?”


    Reba nodded. “Yeah, see you at home Bye, Nic!” She waved, then walked away. He heart was thundering. She didn’t know why, but she got more and more ufortab whenever Nichs was around her.


    She entered the cafe casually, and Cathy was already there. A folder of documents wa spread out on the table in front of her. Reba slid into the seat across from her. “Wh did you find?” she asked impatiently.


    Cathy nced around, making sure no one was eavesdropping. “Nichs doesn’t have gliostoma. It’s all a lie. And Doctor Theodore’s involved in a massive fraud scheme


    Reba’s heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure?”


    Cathy nodded. “I dug deep. Financial records, emails, everything. Nichs is part of i too. They’re all in it for the money.”


    Reba gulped. She put her hand on her chest and leaned back stiffly. “Nichs? <i>O </i>God!” It felt like a bad dream for her. She didn’t care if it was Mia or someone else, b not Nichs. They’ve known each other since high school. How could Nichs hav the heart to do that behind her back?


    “Cathy, are you sure Nichs‘ involved in all these scenes because of money? It doe sound like him. I mean, he owned aw firm muttered Reba in disbelief. “They have bigger fish to fry, Becky. You’re not the only target; it’s Harvey. They even worl together with some bad guy from the DEA to make a false usation to put Harvey jail.”


    Reba felt a hard p on her face. She thought Nichs loved her, but it turned o he just used her for his own benefit.


    “They could’ve just killed me. It will make everything easier, isn’t it?” muttered Reb confused. “I mean, why would Nichs bother to move with me to LA? It doesn’t m any sense.”


    Cathy bit her finger, thinking. “Maybe he’s truly in love with you, that’s the reason you’re still alive.” She said it tly but managed to make Reba re in surprise. made more sense.”


    “But Becky, he’s faking his cancer, and that doesn’t sound like someone who’s in lov said Cathy, looking at Reba seriously.


    Reba gulped nervously. “What are you trying to say?” she demanded in a trembl voice.


    “He’s obsessed with you, more than anything in this world, and that’s the reason wh he’s willing to do anything so you wouldn’t be together with Harvey,” said Cathy firm


    Reba felt the world spin faster. “Cathy, I need to throw up!” N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
