Alex's words shattered the last shred of hope in Gu Ning's heart.
She froze, silent for a long while.
Standing in this room, she understood that Alex was not someone she could fool.
He had already seen her personal file at the police station. All that mattered was whether he chose to ask; her own willingness to speak was irrelevant.
Because he already knew she wasn't Cook.
For a moment, Gu Ning didn't know how to answer Alex. She looked down and picked at her fingers.
Alex waited patiently for her answer. Just as he thought Gu Ning wouldn't tell him and was about to ask a different question, a slip of paper was handed to him.
He took it and read: Gu Ning
"Gu Ning…" Alex read her name aloud, then looked up at her. "I've met Cook."
Gu Ning gripped the pen tightly. Just as she was about to write on the paper, she heard Alex ask, "Is he your brother?"
'So that's why their scents are so similar.'
Gu Ning was stunned.
