Chapter 309: Plausible Deniability

Keeley was surprised Aaron was so upset by this considering how much he hated the woman. He was more upset than she was and usually she was the more forgiving one between the two of them.

"You...aren't actually missing her, are you?"

Alarm flashed across his face. "Are you crazy?! I've wished she was dead more times than I can count but I never did anything because of you!"

"Me?" she asked in surprise.

Aaron coughed, a bit embarrassed. "I didn't think you would ever forgive me if I killed someone. Because you're a good person."

Despite herself, she smiled slightly. He gave her too much credit considering she was happy that horrid woman was dead. But it would take a special kind of person to feel sorry that the one who ordered them killed had died.

"Then what are you stressed out about?"

"…because now there are possibly two murderers I'm related to. And one of them has been to our house! What happens if we piss him off?"
