He wanted to let the result speak volumes about the truth.

In the Walters' residence.

Divya came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She sat in front of her dresser and began her expensive skincare regimen.

She was in a good mood, and it was evident in her bright and lively eyes.

She had finally gotten rid of that thorn in her side, Laura, and won Forrest's affection. She had succeeded. She just needed a little more time, and Forrest would completely forget about that wench.

Divya would win the battle, and Forrest was her prize.

He would belong to her, and her alone.

Her phone suddenly beeped with a notification, disrupting her thoughts of victory. Divya opened the message, and her expression immediately changed.

She could only think of one person.

No one else knew about that matter except for him.

Was he planning to continue blackmailing her?

Divya grew flustered, but to her credit, she kept her wits about her. She took a deep breath and composed herself.

This person wanted money, so he would undoubtedly keep pestering her. If she responded and gave him what he wanted now, she might appear guilty and desperate.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Forrest shot Alick a sardonic look. "See? Divya is a simple girl. She would never do something so devious."

Alick looked him in the eye and asked point-blank, “Are you in love with her?"

"No, I am not. I just feel sorry for what I did to her. I took away her innocence and even caused her to have a miscarriage. There's so much guilt inside me, and I want to make up for it. That is all. There is no love in this equation.”

“And how do you intend to make it up to her? Aren't you going to devote yourself to her, after all?" Alick sighed and said with some understanding, "It's fine. It's only natural that you would fall for such a cutie."

“That's not it at all. I already told you that I have no feelings for her." Forrest was a little angry now.

“Fine, fine. If you say so." Alick went back to his phone and typed another message. "If you don't reply, I will send the evidence to Forrest."

Forrest let out an exasperated huff. "Why don't you just give up?" Alick raised an eyebrow.

“Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this out of sheer stubbornness. It's amusing to me, and the show has just begun. Why are you so bent on rushing things?”

Forrest plopped down on the sofa and scoffed. "And yet all you've done so far is to send text messages. Is this also what you do for Isaac?" Alick didn't bother to reply.

Forrest would find out soon enough whether Divya really was a simple and innocent girt.

Alick's phone vibrated.

He looked down and saw that he had received a new message. He clicked it open.
