Chapter 85: Who Can We Trust?
Eleonore’s POV
“Are you sure we can even trust him?” I watched as Hayden asked his brother, who in turn had taken his position of pacing back and forth in the large office the two of them shared. Viktor had left some time ago with my aunty and James to sort out other matters, leaving the twins and myself to ponder over all that he had told us.
Rhett sighed and looked over to the two of us. “What’s the alternative?”
“Not trusting him.”
I deadpanned at Hayden’s obvious and unhelpful answer. It was obvious that the entire situation had left Rhett stressed and worried even more than before, and his silly comments weren’t helping the situation any. I slapped his thigh at the sarcastic quip and Hayden only shot me a wolfish smile.
“Helpful, Hayden, thank you. I’m serious. If Viktor comes in and tells us we can’t trust our own people, are we meant to just trust him?”
