Chapter 51

Colin was confused

It was really hers inside Jenny's bag

He arched his brow, trying to wrap his head on why Jenny would take the earrings

He thought of going back to ask her so she could give a reasonable explanation

Who knows?

She might have taken it by mistake

But he thought of leaving her to see what she is up to

He recalled losing his engagement ring in the same room and Marissa found it

Luckily, his prayers were answered as he opened the door, it was just Axel and Jenny. He heaved a sigh of relief as Axel carried drunk Jenny in "She drank a lot" Axel looked exhausted, he must have carried her all the way from the club "Why is she here again?" Marissa arched her brow "Ask Colin, it's all his fault. This wouldn't have happened if he didn't reject her confession....." "Axel" Colin cautioned him to stop talking "Where should I put her?" Axel asked "Upstairs. The first room by your left" Colin replied "I still have to climb the stairs? This is too much" Axel groaned as he carried her upstairs "What in the world was Axel talking about? You rejected Jenny?" Marissa sounded as if mocking Jenny Or perhaps, the both of them "I didn't" Colin turned his face away "Of course yo

Luckily, he slept nicely this time, But it was not nice enough. Someone kept knocking on his door , he tossed on his bed not willing to open the door for whoever it was. It can either be Marissa or Emerald. Jenny only knock twice and if she does not get a reply, she would leave. He groaned as he stood up from the bed to open the door for who it was. Just like he had expected, it was really Marissa. "What in the world do you want?" He could barely keep his eyes open as he was still sleepy. "It's morning already, you shouldn't be sleeping by this time" Marissa showed him the time on her phone. It was just 6:45Am. It's been a while since he woke up by that time and that was when he was still living with the Williams.

Marissa left on her own so don't even think of following her" Emerald warned "I need to know what is going on with her" Colin sighed "Which is why you have a phone, call her " Emerald shrugged.

You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?"
