But strangely, Zayla did not see Simon!
She saw Felipa drinking coffee and reading the booklet.
"Grandma." They spoke one after another. "Mrs. Vaughan."
Felipa's muttering stopped abruptly as she raised her head to look at them.
"Hanson, that brat. You rushed back right after he sent you guys a Line message. Does this mean that you aren't a couple? And you, Ms. Vargas, lied to me?"
Before Lincoln could say anything, Felipa said again, "Don't talk. I want to hear her answer."
Zayla took a few steps forward and said apologetically, "Mrs. Vaughan, my purpose for coming here is indeed for the old jade mine in your hands.
"Linkin and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend. We ... have nothing to do with each other.
"I lied to you. It has nothing to do with Linkin."
Zayla took on this so-called deception alone.
Lincoln's eyebrows suddenly tightened!
