NovelEnglishChapter 891 Chapter 891: Aliza stiffened, but Carrie continued. "Instead of wasting twith these petty tricks, you should focus on keeping what you already have. Because lies don't stay hidden forever." As she finished speaking, her gaze flickered toward Kristopher.
Carrie's words struck like a thunderclap. Aliza's face paled instantly, her fingers twisting the hem of her dress so tightly that the fabric wrinkled beyond repair.
She hadn't expected this. Not here. Not in front of Kristopher.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack at the Music Association, when Kristopher-newly burdened with amnesia—had first encountered Carrie, Aliza's heart had nearly leaped out of her chest. She had been terrified-paralyzed-that Carrie would reveal the truth. That she would expose the fact that Aliza wasn't Kristopher's fiancée.
But surprisingly, Carrie had stayed silent.
Aliza had never understood why. She had spent sleepless nights wondering what Carrie's silence meant. As tpassed and the truth remained hidden, she had slowly allowed herself to breathe. To believe she was safe.
But now-Carrie had spoken. And just like that, all of Aliza's old fears crushing back, wrapping around her throat like a noose.
She bit down on her lower lip, her breath catching as she watched Kristopher's reaction with dread.

Kristopher's. "Explain clearly." His grip was firm, unrelenting. "What lie doesn't stay hidden forever?" Behind him, Aliza's breath hitched. She had to stop this. Her hands trembled as she clutched her temple, her voice weak and pitiful. "Kristopher, I feel a little dizzy... Please takeback." Kristopher didn't even glance at her. His grip on Carrie tightened slightly, his sharp gaze locked onto her. "What lie?" he repeated.
Carrie hesitated. For a fleeting moment, she considered telling him everything. But then, she remembered something. Kristopher hadn't lost everything. His amnesia wasn't total. He was still the leader of the Norris family.
If he truly wanted to know the truth, he could have found out at any time. All it would have taken was a single question to Oliver. Yet he had never asked. Never tried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA realization dawned on her. Perhaps—this amnesia was nothing more than an excuse. Perhaps Kristopher couldn't bear to face their tangled, broken past—so instead, he had chosen to use memory loss as a way to cut ties.
She yanked her arm free from his grasp and met his gaze, her voice om cool and nd detached. Norris, if you have questions, ask the person beside you, not me-I'm just a stranger."
And this time, she didn't look back. She walked away. The content is on novelenglish.net!
"Kristopher, don't let her words make you doubt me!" Aliza rushed forward, desperation creeping into her voice. "I haven't lied to you about anything!"
