Love in the Limelight

The moment Bernice mentioned Hawthorne unintentionally, she realized that she had fallen into Elio’s trap.

Maddox understood that this situation couldn’t continue, so he said, “Ms. Bernice, your performance tonight has indeed been confusing. To prove that you’re not lying and to clear Astrid’s name, we must make this phone call.”
