Chapter 1161:

Jeffery’s brow furrowed in deep reflection. “I just don’t understand why Joanne would suddenly turn against Alicia like that. Thank goodness Alicia made it through.”

He turned toward Linsey, his voice growing solemn. “I remember the police arrived in time. Joanne must have been taken into custody, right? I really hope she can come to her senses and stop hurting others. Of course, I’ll be hiring a good lawyer—to make sure Alicia gets the justice she deserves.”
