Christopher shouted angrily into the phone, "Elaine, you're slinging mud-that’s a pack of f*cking lies!”
Elaine blurted anxiously, "Oh, don't you believe me? Fine! If you can find Hannah, I’ll admit defeat!"
"What do you mean?”
"Go and figure it out yourself! I'm very tired now, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" 1

Wendy leaned against her father and persuaded," Yeah, Dad! Don't be so mad! What did the b*tch say?”
Christopher huffed indignantly, "Elaine said that your mom has an affair with some dude and that she eloped with him!"
"What?!" Harold, Wendy, and Lady Wilson looked shocked! Their jaws almost dropped to the floor!

She said that the setup and scam were just a decoy, and that Hannah had actually set me up for me to let down my guard so that she could grab more time for herself to run away!” 2
Harold cursed in dismay, "The b*tch lied, Dad! My mom did not have an affair, let alone elope with him!"
Christopher's face twisted a little weirdly. He said in a much calmer and colder tone, "We aren't sure!
