"What?! "Aurelia jolted, "You think someone silenced them?"
"Who knows?" Elowen grumbled, "Yesterday morning, the waitress was released from detention. That night, she went to a bar with her boyfriend and after a few drinks, they drove into a tree. The car erupted into flames immediately. They were both burned beyond recognition."
She paused, curling her lip, "The police ruled out foul play. They're saying it was a simple traffic accident."
Aurelia made a face, "If it really was an accident...maybe karma found them? Didn't your mom send someone to question that waitress in the police station? Did they get any info?"
"That woman clammed up tight, insisting that I had orchestrated it all. No one else has approached her since. Whoever they are, they must've paid her a hefty sum to keep her quiet." Elowen's anger was palpable.
Aurelia sighed, "Now there's no witness to your innocence. It's going to be even harder for you to clear your name."
Frustrated, Elowen slammed her fist on the table, "The person who recorded the video is still out there. I will turn every stone until I find them."
Aurelia handed her an alcohol free drink, to prevent her from getting too drunk.
The boss wasn't in the office, so no one was there to drive Elowen home.
The worst part was, no one would pick up the check!
"Ms. Elowen, I'll support you, no matter what."
Elowen grabbed her drink, guzzling it down, "Do you know what Leopold is doing right now? He's at the racecourse, sweet-talking with Evelyn. It's driving me crazy!"
She had come straight from the racecourse, after being ruthlessly driven away by Leopold.
She pulled out her phone, playing a video she had recorded. Aurelia glanced at the screen, the two of them were riding the same horse, openly flaunting their relationship!
Her heart twisted, as if it had been stabbed.
This man, who came to the apartment every night to read bedtime stories to their babies, was a perfect father.
Yet during the day, he was all sweet and romantic with another woman, a loving boyfriend!
