Not wanting to wake Jessica up, Wyatt lowered his voice to a whisper. “Is this about Scarlett?”

“Yes, Mr. Lopez. She’s dead. Her mother saw the videos on the school website. She never made it out of the operating room after that. Unable to cope with the loss, Scarlett jumped off the top floor of her office building,” the person replied.

“Oh, I see. Anything else?” Wyatt asked placidly.

“News about Scarlett’s suicide is currently spreading like wildfire. Do you need me to take care of that?”

“What for? Her entire family is dead. She can’t possibly cause any further damage. Do you have anything else to report? If not, I’ll be hanging up now.”

Wyatt placed the phone back on the nightstand, pulled Jessica back into his arms, and tugged the blanket over their shoulders.

Jessica waited until she heard him snoring an hour later before slowly opening her eyes.

She gently lifted Wyatt’s arm and waited a few minutes to see if he would wake up. After making sure that he was still asleep, she eased her way out of his embrace.

She snuck into the bathroom, locked the door, and stood next to the window as she tried to unlock the phone.

After checking the balance in his bank account and confirming that he hadn’t changed his password, she quickly logged out and dialed a number.

It took quite a while for the person to answer the phone. “Hello?”

“Hey, Uncle Oliver. It’s me.” Jessica tried her best to sound calm so Oliver wouldn’t notice anything off about her.
