"How do you know all this? Even though I had no clue… So how did you find out?"
Alex chuckled, his grip still firm.
"There's nothing I don't know. If I wanted to, I could even find out the color of your underwear today is."
"You freaking Pervert!" Sera pouted, shifting uncomfortably. But she quickly suppressed her irritation, this wasn't the time for petty arguments.
Taking a deep breath, she narrowed her swollen, tear-streaked eyes at him.
"Why are you telling me this?" she asked. "And do you even have any evidence? I might dislike my uncle and the others, but I won't blindly believe you without proof. I refuse to be tricked into helping someone else count their money while being deceived myself."
Despite her emotional turmoil, she still managed to keep a rational mind. Alex studied her reaction with mild amusement. She was cautious. Smart enough to question things even when overwhelmed by grief and anger.
That was good.
