Evie thought about it.
She went straight to the point. "Tina, actually, I'm Brian's stepdaughter."
Tina was getting some water at this moment. When she heard this, her hands trembled and knocked off the coffee cup.
Athena was afraid that she would get burned.
She quickly took the coffeepot from Tina.
She used a towel to wipe off the water that overflowed from the coffee pot.
"You are Brian's stepdaughter? Why do you want to see me?" Tina frowned. She no longer looked kind.
"My mother was killed by him!" Evie's eyes turned red immediately. She said in a choked voice, "Just like your daughter. He said that my mother committed suicide by jumping into a reservoir. But my mother is timid. She won't commit suicide."
Hearing what Evie said...
Tina froze.
Then she covered her chest.
She quickly took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and ate some pills.
"Are you alright?" Athena got up, walked behind her, and patted her chest.
"I'm okay..." Tina waved her hands. She looked at Evie. "Stepdaughter? Aren't you Selina's daughter?"
"She's dead!" Evie said word by word. "It was said that she took too many sleeping pills. But Brian refused to give her an autopsy. She was cremated right after she died. Many people suspected that Selina was also killed by Brian. Later, Selina's first love, Henry Sterling, also died mysteriously."
"Henry?" Tina was shocked. "He died?"
