Chapter 224
1/2
“Willow, you’ve been framed? Who’s the conniving bitch that did this to you? Tell me, and I’ll make sure she regrets ever being born!!!”
Celeste’s message popped up, loaded with exclamation points, and Willow could practically feel her
friend’s fiery spirit through the screen. She couldn’t help but crack a smile.
“Cece, I’m fine. Once we get that surveillance footage, no one will be able to frame me.”
Since Willow didn’t want to name the culprit, Celeste didn’t press further. But it had been a while since she had the chance to take down a two–faced snake, and her fingers were itching for some old–fashioned
payback.
“Alright, I’ll go get that surveillance footage for you. Willow, don’t worry. We’ll stay in touch. Nobody
crosses Kenny’s woman and walks away unscathed!”
Seeing “Kenny” on her phone screen brought a lump to Willow’s throat. Willow felt a swell of gratitude.
In this world, not everyone was as heartless and cold–blooded as Skyler. Some, like herself, held onto
memories of Kenan with a deep, abiding affection.
Not long after, Celeste sent another message.
“Willow, I just called and asked about it. The cameras on the second floor of that shop were all broken,
and the manager forgot to get them fixed. I’m so sorry I couldn’t get the surveillance footage for you, but
I’ll think of something else.”
Reading Celeste’s reply, Willow’s spirits sank. Despite being grateful for Celeste’s offer to help, Willow
knew deep down that without the surveillance footage, clearing her name would be tough.
“And what?”
