“I’m not really sure, Mrs. Lincoln.” Ewan chose to not be truthful.

He refused to admit anything, and I felt powerless.

There was surely someone watching out for me behind my back. Otherwise, how else could I have managed to get released so quickly despite being under investigation?

I couldn’t believe it was just luck.
