Lisa freaked out. She never thought Rebecca would call the police over something so small. She did not expect that Rebecca was unafraid of people finding it out.

“Who told you that?” the officer asked.

Lisa glanced at Rebecca without thinking. Rebecca stayed calm, as usual. She shot Lisa a casual line. “The officer asked you a question. Why were you looking at me?”

“Andrea from our company,” Lisa said. Fear hit her then. Her voice dropped. She knew she was done.

Andrea only mentioned something very valuable. If the officer asked and Andrea did not back her up, Lisa would look like she had invented a rumor. She would be finished.

In the end, Rebecca, Lisa, and Jeffrey were called to the police station to give statements. Andrea from the hospital was called too.

Not only Andrea, but Jeffrey also heard that. He looked over with a cold stare and gave off an intimidating presence.

Andrea thought she had said nothing wrong, but she looked shaken. She blinked and asked, “What message?”

“The one I sent you,” Lisa said.

Andrea checked her phone. She saw an unread message. She sounded a little apologetic. “Sorry. After I replied to your last message, I was so tired I fell asleep.”

Lisa did not know if that was true. For now, she had to believe it. “Was that the one I mentioned?”

“No way,” Andrea whispered. “How could you even think that?”
