The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 505

Darren said his piece and hung up. When Rebecca tried calling back, he didn't pick up.

Rebecca swore at her phone for a good while, furious. Then, as a thought struck her, she glared up at Penelope.

“Was this your doing?”

Penelope shrugged. “I didn't do anything. I just gave him money. Twenty thousand dollars, wired instantly. I guess he realized that earning money from me is a lot easier than from you, so he took my advice, pocketed the cash, and went home to start a new life.”

“Penelope, you… you're despicable!”

“Ha, you should probably look up the word 'despicable.' You clearly don't understand what it means.”

“You... you think just because Darren's not here, I can't handle you on my own?”

Before she could finish, her phone rang again.

This time it was Buck. Hearing what he said, Rebecca's eyes widened in shock once more.

“You're saying the police came to see you? What for?”

“They said you attacked Hannah?”

“Was it really you? Why didn't you tell me?”

He had called Rebecca in a panic and hung up after just a few frantic words.

Rebecca immediately wanted to call back and get a clear story, but she hesitated, phone in hand, not daring to make the call. Buck had said the police were there, and she was afraid that calling him back now would only implicate her.
