Zack was utterly bewildered, staring at Evelina in her disheveled state. "Wait, why is it you?"

Evelina was sobbing uncontrollably, her neck showing a tell-tale bruise. Zack gulped, a realization dawning on him. Had he really been with Evelina? Despite himself, a strange sense of triumph welled up inside him.

Evelina slapped him hard across the face. "Who ordered you to ruin me?"

Thinking quickly, Zack glanced at Lemira. "It was her! Ms. Lemira told me to do it!"

Evelina's eyes went cold as she turned to Lemira, heartbroken. "Lemmy, it was you all along? That's why you wanted me to rewrite the proposal at midnight and drink that glass of milk."
