Chapter 36: Grandmother, Come and Care for Me

A snicker broke the tense atmosphere as Hayden laughed inappropriately. Miss Reed was impressive! Her retorts were satisfyingly sharp. Jared and Nathan showed little expression, but Sophia tilted her head and asked Tina in her innocent voice, "Miss Reed, is Miss Amber a human being?"

"No, she's not a human being," Tina replied earnestly.

Hayden couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Miss Reed was amusing!

Sophia pondered for a moment with her head lowered, "Then, is she a ghost? Otherwise, why did she disappear after she entered the room with you? Did she use some kind of magic to vanish?"

After saying this, she seemed to find a flaw in her own logic and corrected herself, "No, that's not right. Ghosts can't transform; they can only use some tricks to scare people."

As she spoke, she nestled into Tina's embrace, feigning fear, "Tina, I'm so scared! There's a ghost!"

Sophia's words may have sounded humorous, but everyone present was quick to think. Amber had come to the room with Tina, but then she brought a group to catch a cheater. When they caught Talon instead, they accused Tina of being the one who drugged him. Upon further consideration, the plot had many holes.

The Reed family was playing games that were none of their concern, so no one interjected. They just treated the situation like a joke.

Amber's face turned from pale to flushed with anger as she was spoken about. She struggled to suppress her rage and demanded sharply, "Tina, what do you mean by this?"

"You don't understand?" Tina glanced at her indifferently.
