My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret novel Chapter 185

CHAPTER 76

ANNA’S POV

She was smirking and the more she stared at me, the more uneasy I became, my stomach twisting because deep down I kept thinking that maybe Sophie really had something to do with all this mess, but then again I was still unsure and since there wasn’t any reasonable evidence I couldn’t just say a word, I couldn’t risk spoiling the relationship her dad and my dad had together just because of some suspicion or misinformation, so I kept quiet, even though her eyes on me made my chest feel so tight as if it was closing in.

Just as Ryan’s name was called and it was time for the official transfer of position, my phone suddenly rang, the sound sharp in my ears and making me jump while my pulse picked up. I opened my purse quickly and brought it out, staring at the screen as I saw an unknown number flashing. My brows furrowed, wondering who could be calling me at such a moment. I cut the call immediately but then it came again, buzzing harder like the caller wasn’t going to stop.

I looked around nervously, not wanting to disturb anyone with the ringing, and finally I sighed and stood up, deciding to step outside and pick it while making sure no one noticed. as I started walking toward the door, I caught Sophie’s eyes again and she was smiling at me, that same evil smirk playing on her lips like she knew something I didn’t. My heart skipped but I ignored her and kept moving while my mind was racing.

Once outside, I found a more secluded area and pressed the phone to my ear.

“Hello?” I said softly.

There was no answer.

“Hello?” I repeated, louder this time while glancing around.

Still nothing. I frowned. “Hello?? Can you hear me?”

But it was just silence again, no voice, no words. I groaned under my breath and hissed, lowering the phone from my ear and pressing the end button before turning to walk back inside.

Just as I was about to step back in, the phone rang again. I froze, staring at it. My hands were shaking now. With a frustrated sigh, I answered.
