"Don't lie to me. I'll verify this with Stephen." Simon pulled out his phone.

Before he could punch the numbers, his phone rang with a call from Stephen. The suspicious timing of the call made Simon's heart sink. He dreaded the realization of his worst fear.

Simon shakily took the call.

"Who made Ethan the scapegoat?"

The barrage of questions shut everybody up.
