NovelEnglishHello 448 Chapter 448 So, Tanya wanted to dragdown with her, huh? Classic. This was the swoman who used her husband's death to climb the ladder, so of course she'd try to use someone else. She wasn't bluffing. I knew she'd do exactly what she said.
I'd have to keep my guard up around her.
I leaned in, locking eyes with her. "Alright, let's see who crashes and burns first." Then, with a swift kick to her hand, I turned and strode put.

If you've got even a shred of decency left, maybe take a look at the kid you brought into this world. At least let him know who his mom really is." She froze, and I turned away, leaving without another word.
I headed straight to Lena's break room to wait for her. Ten minutes later, she finally showed up.
"You're still here?" she grinned. "Didn't think you'd actually wait for me." I gave her a look. "Cut the act. What did your director say?" Lena shrugged, grabbing a cup and filling it with water. "Nothing major. Just toldto file a report and cooperate with the investigation." She took a sip, then smirked. "So, how'd your little face-off with Tanya go?" I didn't answer right away, still thinking about Retta's involvement. "Why do you think Tanya's after you, anyway?" Lena handeda cup. "She's just a mad dog biting anyone who gets close." Yeah, sure. Lena was totally trying to make it seem like it wasn't my fault.
"Okay, but why you?" I pushed, wanting her to dig a little deeper.
Lena sipped her water. "She's usingto get at you?" "And maybe there's another reason too?" I nudged.
Lena frowned, realizing something wasn't right. "Alright, what are you getting at? Or did Tanya say something?" "Tanya's gunning to wreck your career. Sure, it might be part of her revenge on me, but doesn't it seem... I don't know... a little too indirect?" She put her cup down on the table. "Alright, just spill. What do you know?" I hesitated for a second. "I saw Tanya's call history. She had a late-night call with Retta." It hit Lena instantly. Last night, while she and Nate were having their moment, Retta must've been next door fuming.
That's probably when she reached out to Tanya and cooked up this whole scheme.

"Retta's already made her move. How are you so chill? Shouldn't you be freaking out?" Lena drummed her fingers on the table. "She's going to try hittingprofessionally first, then she'll go after Nate. Textbook strategy."
I thought about Retta walking off with Nate earlier. "She's definitely in the perfect position to pul that off. And let's be real, Nate can be a bit clueless sometimes Retta's tricks might actually work on him." Lena stayed calm, her smile never fading. "Retta didn't expect this trip hto be such a disaster. She probably regrets not locking Nate down earlier. That's why she's desperate enough to team up with Tanya.
I had to hand it to her-Lena always had nerves of steel, even when things got messy.
But Retta was targeting her, and she needed a plan to deal with it.
But this was her fight now. "So, what's your plan? Retta's already playing dirty." Lena gavea sly grin, a wink to top it off. "I'm just gonna let her bury herself." I paused, catching on. "Wait, you're thinking of... chasing Nate down?"
Lena pointed atwith her thumb, all confident. "You knowtoo well, Keira. We've been through too much En. for you not to."
Lena took a long sip of water, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Retta thinks by keeping Nate close, Ve speth put the strings. Well, let's see what happens when I don't just get close-I take the whole damn spotlight." Today's Bonus Offer X
