"Claire, you went out to have fun and it's been so long without a call. Are you having too much fun and forgetting about me?"

Elizabeth's voice on the phone remained kind and gentle, still so

shocked.

"Yes, Grandma, I want to stay here. You know, because of Anna's incident, Harrison and my parents..."

Claire nodded and brought up Anna's matter as an excuse.

Elizabeth couldn't handle any more shocking news now. She needed to come up with an excuse to keep it from her.

"Well, as long as you're happy. Just remember, don't let yourself suffer out there. If you need money, tell me. Come back and visit

Although she didn't believe that Claire would kill anyone, Harrison, Robert, and Margaret were not like her. They really hated Claire.
