Chapter 413: A Mercy

They talked about the time when Holden met Granger at Ashleigh’s birthday party and how he had continued to whisper in his ear after that. How Alice had heard Holden whispering about an attack on Winter. She didn’t know when or where, so she had sent a message to Caleb to be vigilant.

“What about Axel?” Ashleigh asked. “Granger attacked him that night. He almost killed him.”

“I didn’t know, and neither did Holden. Though if Granger had told him, Holden would have praised him for it,” Alice said.

“Holden… I knew he was a weasel, but I didn’t know he was this bad,” Ashleigh sighed.

Alice looked at Ashleigh carefully.

“There is something else you should know about Granger while he still remained in Winter,” she said.

Ashleigh looked back at her.

“What?”

“About the flowers he gave you while you were in the hospital,” Alice said.
