What should we do now?There were too many of them, and all of them were at the scene. They were good at faking evidence and telling lies, but Joan didn't have any evidence to prove her innocence.
Abelyn bit her fingers because panic overwhelmed her chest. Those damned women were so cruel and heartless! But only the one who caused the trouble could end it. Maybe, they did it for some reason. I think we can meet them to find out.
"Dustin, I think we can look for those women and have a talk with them," Abelyn whispered.
Have a talk?How?About what?What else is there to talk about?They had framed Joan. They would probably avoid us! How would they be willing to talk with us?
"Think about it. Since they framed Joan for the money, maybe they will be willing to vindicate her for the money too," Abelyn reminded him.
Instantly, Dustin's eyes lit up. Her words make sense!
"Hey, come here! Abelyn came up with an idea!" said Dustin.
In a split second, the others hurried over to them.
Looking at their nervous looks, Delilah was filled with anticipation. After all, it was a matter of life and death. She knew that she and Joan would not be released so soon.
"What are you guys trying to do?" Looking at Dustin and Abelyn, a few of them were terrified.
Are you afraid?lt's too late now!
A hint of displeasure flashed across Dustin's eyes.
"I heard that you were at the scene when Joan killed someone," said Abelyn as she glared at the women.
Hearing that, the few of them panicked. Sh*t! We're screwed! Did they find out the truth?
