“Your actions are no different from a murderer!” Laurel added, “I genuinely thought that you got lost along the way! If Scarlett wasn’t rescued from the hole and got into harm’s way, would you have rejoiced over her injury?”

Tessa seemed to flinch in fear as everyone berated her endlessly. “How can you accuse me when you have no evidence? Are you pointing your fingers at me because of Nora’s claims? Can’t you think for yourself?” she rebuked fiercely.
