"Who's the real culprits?"

Seeing that Jade had turned her attention to Helen and Frank, Fleur promptly pressed her advantage. "What do I stand to gain if Luna's dead? Nothing! Doesn't everything make sense if they're the ones who killed Luna?!" "Make... sense?"

"And if Helen ousts us, all the hard work and success our family accomplished over the years would fall into the hands of outsiders! So use your pig brain and think-who really stands to gain from Luna's death?!"
