Chapter 421


    Geneva snatched the phone from my hand and scrutinized the photo. After a moment, she slowly


    shook her head. " I''ve never seen this guy before. With a look like that, you''d think he’d be


    unforgettable, but..."


    "Maybe he''s not from Goldenvale Town?" I questioned, my suspicion piqued by Geneva''s response.


    "Possibly! I wouldn’t forget a face like that!" Geneva scoffed, her meaning clear without further words.


    "The guy’s bad news!" I dismissed the man with a wave of my hand, adding, "The Dawson brothers can


    always find the most creepy people possible! How did I marry into that family? s..." I abruptly


    covered my face in embarrassment.


    Genevaughed and draped an arm around my shoulder. "Don''t beat yourself up. Everyone gets it


    wrong sometimes. People are hard to read. And let''s face it, the Dawsons are good actors. No wonder


    you were taken in. It''s normal! Now that you''ve woken up and cut your losses, that''s what counts.


    Doesn''t matter how long it took to see this guy for what he is. Betterte than never!"


    "Geneva, spare me thefort talk. ''Betterte than never''? I''ve got three kids with him before I


    realized whether he was man or monster. How blind could I be? Just thinking about it gives me


    nightmares!"


    Geneva, hearing this,ughed boisterously and yfully punched my shoulder. "Oh,e on! Is it


    really that dramatic?"


    With a dead-serious face, I replied, "It really is. All this stress is eating me up inside. I can''t sleep at


    night. How foolish must I be to be strung along by such a person? Sometimes, I just want to jump off a


    building and start all over."


    Geneva quickly turned to me. "Remember what you said just now. Don''t entertain such dark thoughts!"


    I looked at her, reassured. "Don''t worry about that. He''s not worth it. I wouldn''t throw my life away over


    him! I meant like in those books where people get to start over. I''d choose to stay single for life rather


    than give him another nce. The very thought of him leaves such a dark shadow in my mind!"


    Both Geneva and Hannah, who had been listening, burst outughing.


    I went on, "Sometimes, I feel so disgusted with myself, like I can never scrub off the filth, no matter how


    many showers I take. Let''s just drop it!"


    Geneva wasughing so hard she slumped onto the couch, gasping for breath.


    I sighed, feeling utterly defeated. "I''m seriously curious. Did I wrong someone so badly in a previous life


    to deserve this punishment?"


    I cursed myself endlessly, as if possessed. Geneva wasughing hard, struggling to catch her breath.


    Turning to Hannah, I handed back the phone. "Send this photo to your boss. Check if it''s useful and


    don''t overlook any clues."


    Hannah smiled coyly and winked. "Don''t worry, I''ve already sent it to the boss!"


    I nodded in approval. "Smart cookie!"


    "The guys who kidnapped mest time still haven''t been identified. I mean, what kind of karma is this?


    Am I destined to be entangled with these people? To fall into their traps from miles away? How can I
