“A mistake? Mrs. Weiss, I didn’t think I would one day hear something like this from you,” Izzy snorted. This conversation had so many surprises. But the biggest surprise of them all was Cecil’s attitude. She never once thought that the woman was capable of something like this. “So you knew about the baby,” Izzy muttered. “And perhaps arranged everything.”

With your history involving both Calen and Monica, the jury won’t need much convincing. They’ll see a jealous woman driven to do something… tragic.”

Izzy snorted at the suggestion. “Is that your strategy? To play the victim’s grieving family and spin a fantasy? To be honest, I didn’t know you are so good at making us stories.”
