“Yep!” replied Winnie with a smile and a nod. “That’s exactly what I told the police. How did you know, Mommy? The policeman even said I was brave for telling him that. You think I’m brave too, don’t you, Mommy? Is that why I get to eat these delicious cakes?”

With that, Winnie gazed at Yara with her pair of puppy-dog eyes as if she was waiting for a compliment from her mother.

As if! Why the heck would I think she’s brave? Is this dumbass deliberately trying to upset me? At that moment, Yara got so furious that the veins on her forehead popped out.

Yara’s lips began to tremble as she did her best to suppress her emotions. “Winnie, I know you’re a good girl, but Kylie’s your sister. Why would she ever push you off a hill? It was already dark then, so you probably made a mistake. Maybe Kylie was trying to save you.”

“Really?” Winnie then gave Yara a blank look. “But the policeman said Kiki already admitted that she did it.”

“She only did it because she had no choice; she was forced to do so!”

“So Kiki is innocent? What do we do then?”

“She is! I can’t lose either one of you because you’re both my beloved daughters, so can you do me a favor?”

Convinced that Winnie was as gullible as a child, Yara did not think she would have any problem making her stepdaughter do what she wanted. “You just have to tell the police that you were missing for a few days because you were playing hide-and-seek and that it has nothing to do with Kylie. Do you think you can do that?”

“Huh? But I’m a good girl. I can’t lie,” answered Winnie with a pout.

“That won’t make you a bad girl, silly. You’re only doing this for your mother and sister’s sake.”
