Before Marisa and Helen could process that deadly blow, a voice rang out from the crowd outside the villa, which was now growing increasingly angry.
"So, the truth is finally out, huh? You thought you could play us all like fools? How embarrassing!"
"You two are just a pair of cruel and deadly venomous snakes!" Another voice interrupted.
A barrage of rotten eggs rained down on Marisa and Helen again, splattering their clothes and faces before they could dodge or retaliate.
"Stop! Please, stop!" Marisa shouted, her voice rough with despair.
Panicked, the two women rushed back into the villa, slamming the door shut to avoid the angry mob's wrath.
After cleaning themselves up as best they could, the two women collapsed on the living room sofa, feeling completely defeated.
The angry shouts of the crowd outside could still be heard, echoing throughout the villa.
A brief silence fell, but then, a wave of fear washed over Helen, hitting her with the force of a delayed reaction.
