Chapter 377
“Rowena, you know my bottom line, yet you’ve crossed it. You still want my trust?”
These words rendered Rowena speechless.
Nolan didn’t give her a chance to explain herself. “I could let you off for instigating something between Zee and me,
but when you did that to Grandpa and told him something behind our backs, I think there’s no longer the need for
clarification” .
Rowena’s face was white as a sheet, and she felt absurd. She held her fists and asked, “Why didn’t you call me out
in front of Grandpa then?”
Nolan sniggered. “Doesn’t Grandpa trust you? I wanted to know your motive.”
Rowena lost her strength.
Maisie tumed to look at her. “Were you involved in Wynona’s case too?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRowena fiercely stared at Maisie, “How was Wynona’s case related to me?”
Maisie calmly said, “Weren’t you well aware of my rivalry with Wynona in the camp? If I died, Wynona would be the
biggest suspect. Since we have a tumultuous relationship, Wynona would be the biggest suspect.
“However, it was easy for me to make Wynona confess what she did. Yet, after interrogating her for a few days for
the incidents about the snake, she never admitted to it and suddenly took her own life.”
Rowena clenched her jaw. “How would I know?”
“People who are familiar with the camp aren’t just the instructors. It could be someone who spent time there too,
right?”
Maisie looked at her through the corner of her eyes. “How would someone who wasn’t familiar with the
campgrounds be able to sneak in easily without being detected and escape?”.
Anger flashed across Rowena’s eyes. 1
Maisie was still observing her expressions. “Think about it. The person who wants me dead the most must be the
person who sees. me as an obstacle.
“Wynona was afraid of being punished. Iwamed her once, and she should have gotten her act straight. Her friends
were even more cowardly than she was.
“So who would dare release the snake and make Wynona take the blame? It must have been someone who knew
our relationship well and had some history with me.”
Rowena wouldn’t speak.
Beads of sweat were hidden in her hairline, hard to be seen, but the corner of her shirt had been wrinkled from
being held on too tightly.
At that moment, the office door opened, and Titus appeared.
Seeing Rowena standing there with her eyes red, he frowned and asked, “What is going on?”
Maisie was surprised by Titus’ sudden appearance.
Nolan seemed to have figured something out, his eyes tuming even darker.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Rowena saw Titus, she saw a glimmer of hope. “Grandpa, it was all my fault. I made a mistake. … don’t
deserve to be Nolan’s special assistant.”
Titus’ face dropped a little. He looked toward Maisie and Nolan and said, “What did Rowena do for you to treat her
this way?”
“Grandpa, don’t blame them. It was because I-I treated Ms. Vanderbilt badly because she was related to the de
Amas.”
Rowena had to take the initiative because the situation wasn’t on her side. If she lost Titus’ protection, it would end
horribly for her.
Rowena knew Titus well. She had to admit to her mistakes and change her attitude for him to be on her side. She
had to do it for the Summers!
Maisie wanted to say something when Nolan calmly said, “Was it as simple as treating her badly?”
“Nolan, I know that you hate me, but I was thinking of the Goldmanns,” Rowena said with reddened eyes, as though
she was the one being wrongly accused. “I knew that you wouldn’t believe what I said. I admit that I was trying to
get Ms. Vanderbilt to leave you, but I never hurt her!”
