Chapter 1586:

Belinda lifted her eyes, turning to Catherine. “You and Johnson were the ones who found her. Try to remember—did anything about her seem off at that time?”

Catherine blinked, trying to recall.

She said, “My brother and I were calling out for Faye when we suddenly heard someone yelling for help. It was faint, broken—like the voice kept cutting out.

Faye said she had lost her footing and fallen there. She probably wasn’t lying.”

Nothing felt strange.”
