Chapter 19
“Get Hado to calm down. Make sure it doesn't bite her, or we'd have to pay for her to get vaccinated.”
Pfft!
As expected, the mother and son shared the same thoughts.
“B-Bailey, haven't you always wanted to find out the truth behind your mother's death? Get this dog away from me, and I'll tell you!”
Bailey's gaze turned cold instantly.
When she was three, her mother was burned until no remains could be found. The case was then dropped as there was no substantial evidence that it was a homicide.
However, Bailey knew the fire was no accident. Someone had to be behind it, but to date, her years of investigation still led to nothing.
“Hado, go back to the living room.”
Fine!
Huffing, the dog left another mouthful of drool on Rhonda's face once more before leaving.
With a stagger, Rhonda got back up on her feet and glared at the mother-and-son duo, unable to conceal the hatred and murderous intent she felt toward them.
I'm going to kill this b*tch. I swear I will!
Bailey took a step forward and grabbed the other woman's wrist. “Tell me everything you know, or don't even think about leaving this place,” she demanded frostily.
“You want to know the truth? Sure. Dad's birthday is in seven days. Come to the Jefferson residence, and my mom will tell you everything personally,” Rhonda replied with her fists clenched, suppressing the rage within her.
