Casper’s conclusions had Felix and Casper’s eyes wide and mouths agape.

Even though they knew Jessica harbored ill-intent, they did not expect that the woman could be this vile.

Felix had heard enough and wanted to seek out and ferret the truth from Jessica right away.

“How could she! Does she not have a conscience? Could she not see how Remy felt about her?” he snarled.

Even Colton could not have imagined Jessica doing something like that to his buddy, and this sheer outrage of a situation had roused a wave of unprecedented anger within the eyes of that bashful boy.

Upon seeing the expression on their faces, Casper went on to say, “Calm down. I can tell from her reaction that she, too, must be surprised and appalled at how things turned out, so I’m guessing that she could have been manipulated into it.”

It took Casper’s explaining to settle Colton, but Felix would not be so easily appeased.

“Even if she had no idea, how could she do this to Remy? How could she! Does ignorance absolve her of all blame? Could I also say the same if I were to kill someone? What sort of logic is this?” Felix was positively livid and there was nothing Casper said or could have said that could douse his fire.

It suddenly occurred to Casper that the previously absent Jessica had returned and also overheard what Felix just said.

Her expression and mood were awful when Casper looked upon her, and it was quite apparent that she was not quite herself; saying and doing nothing before she quietly slipped away.
