Olivia’s heart shuddered, knowing she could not explain herself again.

John would probably not believe her even if she told him everything.

In the middle of the standoff, Dorothy lay in John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, please don’t blame Liv for this. It’s me… It’s because of me… I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. That’s why she strangled me.”

John looked at Dorothy’s neck and saw visible finger marks on her fair and flawless skin. His gaze darkened, and he questioned sternly, “Olivia, did you strangle her?”
