Bella shrank behind Grace. "Grandma, I'm scared."

Grace hugged Bella and looked at Carly as if she were seeing a stranger. "Carly, how could you think that? We never disliked you just because you weren't as talented as Celine. But your jealousy has turned you bitter, and now you've committed a crime. You've really disappointed me."
