Chapter 1206

Sandy's breathing was a little uneven as she shot back, "Whit, how did you know I'd bump into Shane?"

Whitney paused for half a second, realizing she'd slipped up and sounded too eager.

"It's just because-"

"Because you knew he was following me?" Sandy's voice trembled with anger, barely keeping it together. "Whitney, are you hiding something from me? Are you and that creep Shane in this together?"

"In this together? Come on, Sandy." Whitney rubbed her temples, exasperated. Since when did Shane become a creep?

She felt a pang of guilt-after all, she did know more than she was letting on.

And Sandy, in Shane's hands, was just a clueless little lamb.

Whitney tried to soften her tone. "Sandy, is Shane with you right now?"

"Answer my question first," Sandy shot back, her stubbornness flaring.

"I'm your cousin, for heaven's sake! Who would I be teaming up with?" Whitney tried to sound reassuring.

Sandy paused. She wasn't one to accuse people without reason, and Whitney had always been good to her.

Biting her lip, Sandy's voice was shaky, embarrassed, and furious. "Whit, something's happened! I'm so confused and freaked out. I don't know why Shane

is after me, and you're the only person I can turn to."

Whitney, of course, knew exactly why Shane was after her.

She rolled her eyes inwardly. Seriously, Shane? If you're going to stalk someone, at least don't make her hate you in the process.

Feigning ignorance, Whitney asked, "So what did Shane do, exactly?"


"He's completely out of line!" Sandy burst out, voice tight. "We barely know each other, right? So why the hell did he follow me today? It wasn't just weird, it got violent he showed up and beat up one of my coworkers, broke the guy's arm! I tried to call the cops, but Shane just snatched my phone right out of my hand.

I asked him why he was following me, what his problem was.

He just glared at me, all arrogant and silent.

Then, right in front of everyone, he dragged me out, literally picked me up and shoved me into his car!

Whitney, I was terrified-I've never been so scared in my life.

I'm scared of Shane!

He's just...

Back when he was

off Ba

chasing after you, he seemed like

such a gentleman. He's the CEO of the Nelson Group, always so sophisticated and charming. But behind the scenes, he's just some obsessed stalker?

I kept asking him the whole drive what he wanted from me, but he wouldn't say a word."

Whitney's opinion of Shane plummeted further. This was how he "courted" women? What was he, an idiot? Even Ludwik had more sense.

He could play all the power games in the boardroom, but with Sandy, all he could do was strong-arm her?

Or maybe Shane had seen Sandy getting close to Silas and just lost his mind with jealousy?

"Sandy, where'd he take you? Is he still with you now?"

"He locked me in his car for a while, wouldn't say a thing. Then he took me to a bar-walked in looking likez someone owed him a million bucks and just started pounding whiskey. He's one of those guys, y kno Broody, hard to read, definitely not safe to mess with. I was too scared to ask questions after that.

So I just watched him drink, thinking if he got drunk enough, maybe I could sneak away.
