Hope Williams shook her head and said, "The reporters weren't called by us. When things escalate, they spread naturally. We just didn't control the situation, but we weren't promoting it from behind the scenes."
Emma Winton let out a cold laugh.
It was clear that, like Owen Winton, she didn't believe it at all.
How could things escalate so quickly without their influence from behind? They just wanted to destroy her, cutting off all her paths.
Now, she was completely isolated, left only to await their decision.
Hope Williams and Aria Richardson knew she might not believe them, but whether she did or not, they'd said what needed to be said.
Neither of them planned to stay long, and Aria Richardson said, "Take care of yourself."
Emma Winton's gaze, like that of a venomous snake, was fixed on Aria Richardson's back.
She was isolated with no way out. She no longer cared for her own life and had nothing left to fear.
If she had to suffer, she'd make sure they did too.
