Chapter 99
Choi Jihun POV
Daelan is sitting next to me.
Next to me.
Not next to Emmaline.
Highly suspicious. Extremely suspicious.
I didn't come here today for mystery. I came to gloat. To make fun of them for their drunken antics. Im Lina and I left the gala early—for personal reasons—but we still caught all the footage. The videos, the memes, the chaos. This little gathering is supposed to be my moment of triumph.
Instead, my prey is seated beside me like a moody dog in time-out.
Across the low lacquered tea table, Im Lina is seated next to Emmaline. She catches my eye and raises a questioning brow. I return it with one of my own. Neither of us knows what the hell is going on.
The door creaks open.
Benjamin strolls in like he owns the estate, a servant trailing behind him carrying a silver tray loaded with refreshments and delicate snacks. They place everything carefully on the table between us.
