“You sound as if two weak women like us are capable of plotting a scheme.” Eleanor forced a smile.

“For heaven’s sake, why did you include me in your swear?” Eleanor muttered silently to herself.

“Since there’s no scheming involved, let’s head up together,” Dustin said casually.

Eleanor’s expression froze.

“Besides, the murderer is treacherous. It’s dangerous for us to go up there.”

“Exactly, it’s too dangerous and inconvenient.” Elena nodded repeatedly in agreement. Dustin could tell they were panicking. Instead of exposing them, he took out a bottle of medicine and placed it on the table.
