Seeing Shi Tian utterly speechless and unable to respond to her, Vanessa knew she had won this conversation.
"Tell Mary inside that I want to join in as well. I've been bored in the tent and secretly snuck out." Vanessa demanded.
"Of course, she can deny me, but I might just tell Commander Theobold about how you two deceived him and was the leaker." She added, somewhat threatening him.
"Wait here," Shi Tian gently pushed her hands away from him as he told her to wait.
Since it was clear that Vanessa had come prepared and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to threaten them, he knew the decision was ultimately up to Mary to resolve.
At the same time, he realized just how much he had underestimated Vanessa.
She might look dumb or useless in certain situations, even garnering some pity if others noticed her. However, that could possibly just be another one of her acts, and her true self was concealed deeply.
