She glanced back at Barbara, sensing that Remington's visit today was unlike any other.

His arrival was stormy, laden with malice towards the West family.

Despite her pale complexion, her voice remained steady.

"Remington, I told you yesterday. If I am innocent, I have nothing to fear. If you have evidence, then go ahead and call the cops. Other than that, I have nothing else to say."
