Ava saw the mixed expressions on everyone’s faces and the probing looks they were giving Elysia. She panicked instantly. She shouted at everyone, “What are you thinking? Can’t you see that Grace is just trying to drive a wedge between us?” Eric also spoke up, “Exactly, you guys are acting like you can’t tell right from wrong.
