Trying to appear pitiful, she said, "Betty has already admitted it. Even if she comes in person, it won't change anything."

Betty had no intention of taking the blame, which was why Xenia had bribed her parents to testify instead.

Betty's parents nodded in agreement. "That's right. Our useless daughter is responsible for everything. We'll accept any punishment, but please leave Ms. Quigley out of this. She's innocent."

Xenia's expression stiffened. Everything had been arranged perfectly, but Noelle ruined it with just one sentence.
