Love My Friends with Benefits
Chapter 50: Truth
At first, Phoebe tried her best to break free. However, her movements gradually became weaker.
I figured that she was probably out of strength.
That was good. At least she wouldn't be able to harm anyone.
I loosened my grip on her hair because I thought she was out of strength. I had barely recovered from my flu and only felt fatigued after that burst of rage.
Suddenly, Phoebe struggled violently!
She caught me off guard and broke free. She ran towards the end of the corridor with her face covered in blood and cried, "Leonard, save me!"
Leonard? Was he here too?
Something felt vaguely amiss, but I couldn't pinpoint it. I shook my head, trying to get rid of my confusion.
Leonard bent down slightly and held Phoebe in his arms.
I couldn't see his expression clearly because his face was in the shadows, but I could hear the rage in his voice. "Queena, have you lost your mind?"
Phoebe curled up in his arms and sobbed pitifully.
They looked like a loving couple.
Nobody would be able to tell that this man would climb into my bed every night.
I felt disgusted at that thought and turned away. I didn't want to have anything to do with them.
At my silence, Leonard became even more infuriated. "Answer me!"
"Leonard, forget it." Phoebe looked up at him, teary-eyed and pitiful. "Queena must be in a bad mood because of Grandma's condition. She just wanted to vent her frustrations. We should be more understanding of her."
Did she say that I just wanted to vent my frustrations?
I saw what she was trying to do. She wanted to make me out to be some evil woman.
I was so disgusted that I could vomit. I looked at Phoebe and laughed coldly. "Do you think that I didn't hear you on the phone, saying what you wanted to do to Grandma?"
"I... I didn't say anything," she said feebly.
