When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 377

The thought of Sheila hurting Carrie was just too much. He couldn’t believe it. He didn’t want to believe it either.

“Ms. Stewart has provided evidence.” The officer lifted a lab report for everyone to see. Nelly had arranged for someone to fetch it from her house while she was giving her statement.

She turned to Brody. Honestly, she hadn’t planned on exposing Sheila this soon. But things had already blown up today, so she couldn’t hold back her cards anymore. Now she just wanted to see how far Brody would actually go for Sheila’s sake.
