Heidi lifts her chin. "I didn't try to kill Sierra," she says clearly.
She might not be as confident as she seems, but she'll be damned before she lets them see her role.
The lawyer arches a brow. "You injured her permanently, yet you claim you didn't try to kill her?"
"She attacked me, and I was left with no choice but to defend myself," Heidi replies.
The lawyer paces slowly. "You expect us to believe that you, unarmed, frightened—somehow overpowered her?"
Heidi swallows."I think it turned out that way because I had already been aware of her intentions." she says carefully. "I went downstairs for water that night and I heard Sierra on the phone with Ivy."
Sierra jerks violently. "You liar…"
"She said she was going to kill me," Heidi continues, trying to keep her emotions at bay despite the pounding in her ears. "She said I was ruining her family. That I was the reason things were falling apart."
