Chapter 293 Why Should She?
Why? Why could he be so good to Charmaine but not to me?!
We shared a secret. Shouldn’t that mean we had a closer bond?

Veronica slowly lowered her head, covering her face with both hands, hiding the crazed jealousy burning in her eyes.
Meanwhile, disgusted by the strong stench of the public restroom, Leah had wandered to the back of the mountain, where an unused water source trickled, to wash her feet.
Just as she bent down to take off her shoes, a sudden kick sent her tumbling into the water.
‘Ouch!
Leah choked on a mouthful of water, coughing as she struggled to climb out. Her entire body was soaked to
the bone.
The temperature at the mountaintop was low, and the water was even more bone–chilling, making her shiver uncontrollably!
Just as she wobbled to her feet before she could even stand steady, another unexpected kick came from behind. This time, she fell straight into the water, flipping over completely, gulping down several mouthfuls.
Thinking about how the water was now murky with the dirt from her feet, she gagged, dry–heaving a few times before lifting her head. Unknowingly, her eyes had turned dark and bloodshot.
When she saw Charmaine standing indifferently on the shore with her hands behind her back, Leah’s eyes widened in rage, and she immediately screamed, “Charmaine, are you crazy?! How dare you do this to me!”
Charmaine curled her lips slightly, took out a small object, and threw it onto Leah.
Leah looked down, and for a split second, panic flashed across her face.
It was a signal jammer!
She endured the biting cold, biting her lip hard to stay rational. “What do you mean? Don’t think that just because you throw something at me, you can accuse me out of thin air!”
“So, do you want me to throw the fingerprint identification results at your face instead?”

Leah’s eyes widened in shock–Charmaine had actually gone through the trouble of getting a fingerprint test done?!
Her instincts told her it was impossible, that Charmaine was just trying to scare her.
However…
Thinking about how she had suffered countless losses at his hands before, her mind was in turmoil–she couldn’t tell whether he was bluffing or not!

She sneered coldly. “If you dare act cheap again, I don’t mind breaking another one of your hands.”

At the mention of that excruciating pain she had suffered not long ago, Leah’s body trembled even more violently!
Charmaine glanced in disgust at her splashing, which had wet the surface of her shoes, then turned to leave.
Leah suddenly clenched her fists. “Charmaine!”
Her voice was slow and deliberate, tinged with a hint of smugness. “I’d advise you to be sensible and stop doing pointless things just to attract Daniel’s attention.”
Charmaine ignored her completely, continuing forward without the slightest interest in their love drama.
Feeling furious and exasperated, Leah shouted again, “Do you know why Daniel didn’t get on the plane as you two had agreed?
“That night, he was with me the whole time. That very night, I became his woman!”
Charmaine’s steps faltered for a second. Without looking back, she responded indifferently, “Oh.”
Leaving behind just that single, cold syllable, she walked away without hesitation.
Leah sat in the water, glaring resentfully at Charmaine’s slender figure as if her gaze alone could bore two holes into her back.
Just as Charmaine emerged from behind the mountain, someone blocked her path.
She looked up at the tall man before her, her expression calm. “Something wrong?”
“Charmaine, why did things turn out like this between us?”
Daniel’s voice was hoarse with emotion. “I can apologize. I can make it up to you. No matter how angry you are at me, it’s been so long–why can’t you forgive me?”
Hearing his words, Charmaine laughed.
Why did his apology mean she had to forgive him?
Why did he think that just because time had passed, she should pretend none of it ever happened?
Maybe the past version of herself would have wanted an explanation, but now, there was no longer a need.
“Daniel, I’ll say this one last time: we can never be friends again. No matter what you do, it will never happen.”
With that, she stepped past him without hesitation.
Unwilling to accept it, Daniel grabbed her wrist, his expression desperate. “Is it because of Leah and the Nelsons? If that’s what’s stopping you, I can break up with her…”
“Daniel!”
Daniel stiffened at the voice. Following the sound. he turned to see Leah standing not far away. her body
