Keith successfully caught Cheryl's attention with this sentence. He then looked up and asked, "What secret are you referring
to?"
Being a lawyer, Keith's greatest asset was his gift of gab. He had intended to employ psychological strategies to extract the information he needed, but Cheryl's attentiveness proved to be greater than he had anticipated.
"Ms. Yeats, do you have any insight into why Valeria is so confident that she can unearth evidence to exonerate herself?"
Cheryl was momentarily taken aback, before a sneer formed on her face. "You're resorting to the lawyer's trickery to deceive me. It's utterly impossible for her to discover any evidence because she is not innocent! The surveillance footage had captured it all!" The ward was enveloped in silence, so pin-drop that they could hear the sound of each other's breathing.
A gentle smile crept up on Keith's face. "Ms. Yeats, I possess some confidential information, which is why I've sought you out here."
Unable to discern the man's intentions, Cheryl resolved not to reveal anything about herself. She let out a disdainful, cold snort. "Everyone knows you and Valeria are close colleagues. It's clear that you're trying to shield her reputation and, ultimately, the reputation of your law office. I won't entertain any of your claims. Leave."
Keith mused, "Ms. Yeats is so vigilant."
A soft smile played on his lips as he spoke with deliberate calmness, "In truth, our objectives align. I don't like seeing Hackett and Valeria being together either. That's precisely why I've come to discuss potential countermeasures with you." Cheryl remained silent, intently observing the man sitting across from her. She couldn't discern whether or not he was being honest.
Keith noticed that his words were starting to have an effect on Cheryl. So he carried on, "I came here today because I'm aware of the evidence that Valeria claims to possess, evidence that exposes your lies. If and when such evidence is brought to light, you won't be able to live peacefully in the country. And Hackett will never trust you again.".
Cheryl began to feel increasingly uneasy as the man's words bore down on her. He didn't sound like he was lying.
Despite her growing unease, Cheryl maintained her façade of composure. "Why should I fear anything? I haven't told a single lie. Everything was captured clearly on the surveillance footage!"
Sensing the mounting panic within the woman, Keith put on a subtle smile. "So, are you willing to take a gamble? Valeria plans to show us the evidence she possesses tomorrow night. Once the situation spirals out of control, you'll not only lose Hackett but everything else as well. You'll be left with nothing but the scar on your face. Are you brave enough to take that risk?"
A strong wave of guilt washed over Cheryl, but she remained stubborn in her response. "Why wouldn't I dare? She disfigured my face. Why should I fear her? Is she going to prove that I hurt my own face?"
"Exactly!"
