Do you think we would just arrest people without evidence?"

The officer's words struck Laurel and Kaleb with a sudden force, causing their minds to freeze in shock. For a full ten seconds, the two of them stood still, their minds struggling to comprehend the gravity of the situation. Slowly, their gazes shifted to Eva. At that moment. Eva's face had drained of all color, her pupils wide with surprise and fear.

"Eva... did you really do this?" Kaleb asked, his voice trembling with disbelief as he locked eyes with her. Laurel's gaze was no less intense. "Eva, tell me the truth. Did you do this?"

Eva stood there on the verge of tears, overwhelmed and caught completely off guard. She never imagined her plan would unravel like this.

Before she could gather her thoughts or respond to Kaleb and Laurel, the officer stepped forward, slapping handcuffs on her wrists with a finality that made her heart sink.

Iwas in that moment that Eva finally broke, sobbing uncontrollably.

"N-no, it wasn't me. I didn't... I didn't do it!"

The officer's voice was cold and unwavering. "Get in the car."

*Eva had always known how to manipulate Isabel with cruelty and deception, but when confronted by a law

enforcement officer, she was too terrified to try her usual tricks.

She was swiftly taken away in the police car.

Isabel, standing off to the side, snapped a picture of the scene and sent it to Beowulf.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking pictures? You're so cold-blooded!" Laurel exclaimed, unable to hide her disbelief at how Isabel was making the situation worse for Eva, who was already in serious trouble.

"Yep, that's right. I learned it from Eva. She hurt me first, so now I'm giving her a taste of her own medicine," Isabel replied nonchalantly, unbothered by Laurel's reaction.

Laurel's face twisted with outrage. "You're so ... How can you be so shameless? Actually admitting to your wickedness? Thank goodness my son has good taste and dumped you, or you'd be part of the Johnson family by now!" Her finger shook in anger as she pointed at Isabel, her voice barely contained.

Isabel scoffed lightly. "Yeah, your son's great-really great. Great enough to send his fiancée to the police

station."
