Lara:
Everything was moving so smoothly, as if everyone was walking straight into the trap on their own. Iris had exposed herself as a complete fool.
I was happy watching her. That same foolishness had finally come between her and Kash. Otherwise, Kash would never have taken our side the way he did.
Just as she left with those shopping bags, Markus entered the house.
"Where were you all day?" Lady Vivian asked him, because I had already told her I suspected the two of them had gone out together. Kash still had no idea about that.
"I took Iris shopping today. She said she needed to buy something," Markus replied in a careful, casual tone, the kind that would not invite suspicion.
But the moment he said it, Kash stiffened. He stared at him as if he had just been hit with a shock.
"You were out with Iris?" Kash asked. I did not need to speak. I did not want it to seem like I was the one filling his ears. I wanted them to catch Iris in her mistakes naturally.
