Chapter 207 - Good at her game (1/2)
”All I had to do was make the call, and everything I wanted will be sent over.
I'm the type of girl with a free spirit. I'm never too attached to people, or let me say when I found something I'm crazy about.
I rarely talk with my mom. I was like her Emily. I found my passion, met interesting people and we explore the world. We go to places that a sane human being shouldn't step in and do lots of crazy stuff.
I was very happy and successful at a young age. I will do a video chat with my mom after making a huge income and share the news. She was very supportive and happy for me.
We mean a lot to each other. We are all we've got. She called and informed me about her constant promotion. In short, we're both doing what we love.
Everything changed when my the president of the corporation died. His son Cain took over and my mom started having problems at work.” Jenny gaze went sharp and piercing again, before relaxing.
Diana felt the temperature around her lowering. Even though she relaxed the scary expression, the aura surrounding her has changed into an intimidating one, 'she's angry.' Diana noted in her head, but couldn't wait to hear the full story.
If she should be honest with herself, she's really trying to make sure she's the killer so she wouldn't kill the wrong person, based on assumptions.
She was getting affected by the story, but kept recalling what Aroma told her about how some targets are more clever than she could ever imagine.
She recalled how she was told that SB died because she let herself fall into the targets trap. Diana recalled some of the movies she has watched and keep assuring herself that serial killers have different tricks up their sleeves.
She told herself this might be one of it. Jenny's expression seem authentic, making her believe she might be telling the real story, but that doesn't mean she can't use the story to make her victims lowered their guard.
She kept fighting it, not wanting to give to these feelings that's about to burst out. Her story is affecting her in two ways. Her assumed parents didn't care for her like that, her real ones didn't get to.
Ethan's words surface in her mind, 'don't let something you don't have to bring you down, but be happy with the little you have.' Diana calm down after, as Jenny continued her story.
”My mom wasn't as happy as before. Those glows in her eyes has faded. Everything suddenly turned around for her.
I told her to leave the company, I told her I could support her.” she paused and looked into Diana's eyes, ”Emily, I don't even have to struggle to provide for her, I have enough, but you know what?
My mom claimed she can't leave the company. She made it seem like it's her everything, like it's her life.
She started getting demoted, just as fast as she got those promotions. She barely pick my calls. She didn't want me to worry but couldn't help the hurt she's feeling.
