Chapter 27\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the car, Holly finally felt a flicker of fear for having brought her best friend along in Noah\u2019s rival\u2019s car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She flashed an awkward smile. \u201cMr. Brennan, you can drop us off In the city. We can grab a ride ourselves there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas glanced at the rearview mirror. \u201cIt\u2019s fine. I can drop you off at home first, then your friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking that Silas and Bethany didn\u2019t know each other, Holly quickly introduced, \u201cOh, she\u2019s my best friend, Bethany Porter. She lives closer, so let\u2019s drop her off first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas shot a look at Bethany, who was still dazed in the backseat. A faint smirk played on his lips. \u201cWhat do you think, Ms. Porter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany finally snapped back to reality and caught Silas\u2018 hint. She said, \u201cMm, let\u2019s drop you off first, Hols.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly pouted. \u201cOkay, then. Thank you, Mr. Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t pick up the tension simmering between Bethany and Silas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Silas present, Holly couldn\u2019t speak her mind. So, she texted Bethany instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly texted, \u201cSorry, Beth. I tried to help, but only made things worse! I promise I won\u2019t act on my own again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no idea that Uncle Noah would do that. He really would do anything for Ella! How annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, will you forgive me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After reading Holly\u2019s three texts in a row, Bethany chuckled softly and replied, \u201cI\u2019m not mad, but you shouldn\u2019t act on your own again. I don\u2019t want to see Mr. Vazquez ever again. Can you give me your word, Hols?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly replied, \u201cOf course! I\u2019m glad you\u2019re not mad at me. Fortunately, Silas showed up just in time. Otherwise, we would\u2019ve fallen into their trap!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing their phones buzzing one after another, Silas suddenly spoke. \u201cYou two aren\u2019t texting each other to gossip about me behind my back, are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly gaped in surprise. She said, \u201cOf course not, Mr. Brennan. I was texting my other friend, not Beth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pursed her lips and looked up, her eyes catching his dark gaze in the rearview mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feeling awkward, she looked away. \u201cNo. I\u2019m also texting my friend, Mr. Brennan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, Holly arrived home. She reluctantly stepped out of the car and said, \u201cBeth, I\u2019m home. Remember to text me when you get home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u7121\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, why don\u2019t you spend the night at my house? My parents aren\u2019t around, so it\u2019ll be fine,\u201d Holly invited warmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing the sudden temperature drop in the car, Bethany smiled and shook her head. \u201cNot today. I\u2019m a little tired and want to rest at home. Maybe another time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Holly turned and entered her house, Silas floored the accelerator and drove away. A while later, he pulled over to the side of the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s eyes were half\u2013closed when she felt the car pulling over. Confused, she asked, \u201cWhat happened? Is something wrong with the car?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas fixed her with a searing look. \u201cMrs. Brennan, I\u2019m not your driver. Come sit beside me.\u201d\u00a0Hearing that, Bethany fell silent<\/p>\n
