Chapter 141

After nearly a week, Elspeth finally walked out of the prosecutor’s office, looking completely wiped out and smelling like a durroster.

Sans makeup, she looked dull as dishwater. Her usually well–maintained face now looked a decade older, with strands of gray hair pesking through

“How could they not find out in time!” Elspeth put away her mirror, raising an eyebrow in jest

Glynnis paused, suddenly realizing something “Mom! You knew all along?”

Elspeth put her finger to her lios, signaling for her to keep her mouth shut

Having Acacia use “suicide” as an extreme method to manipulate Thaddeus was Elspett’s idea.
