"Since the orphanage, you've worked your way up the ladder, trying to please Ms. Armstrong to get what you want. Are you tired? Once upon a time you were just scheming, but now you are such a twisted soul. Have you killed enough?"
Joyce accused.
"Haha, orphanage? So what if I go to great lengths to impress Ms. Armstrong? She liked you the most! She would go to you first whenever there was anything good! Yes, you would share it with me. But had you ever thought about it? Did I care? I don't want your charity!"
"The things you give are insulting to me. I hated you for stealing the attention that should have been mine! Ms. Armstrong had you on her lips all day long. You were her pride and joy, and her eyes were only for you!!! Even the pendant you wore, she was able to find it again, and she personally returned it to Luther. We were all growing up in the orphanage, but why were we so different!"
Charlotte looked frantic and her voice was harsh. Suddenly, she noticed the silver pendant hanging around Joyce's neck.
That shiny pendant!
Her eyes widened, "This pendant around your neck! Luther gave it back to you? He really knows you are Joyce! My guesses are all right."
Joyce listened, her lips pursed tightly.
What? Charlotte knew about this? She knew that Ms. Armstrong gave the silver pendant to Luther.
So Luther wasn't the last person to see Ms. Armstrong at all.
The last person to see Ms. Armstrong was Charlotte!
Ms. Armstrong's accidental fall into the reservoir was not an accident at all!
