    Patricia’s eyes were bloodshot, her face a mix of sorrow and anger. She was so worked up that she


    was panting heavily, her shoulders sharing with eac

    gasp.


    “Haillie, even if you can’t stand Ellinor, you can’t just go and kill her, can you? She’s a real person, for


    crying out loud! And she was carrying twind How could you do such a thing…”


    Haillie took a step back, her hand flying to her face. The pain in her heart was more intense than the


    sting on her face.


    She stared in disbelief at her friend, who was supposed to clear her name but instead was ming her


    openly, Patricia, you


    Why?


    Wasn’t Patricia here to defend her?


    Or was this… Patricia’s new game n?


    Despite everything, Haillie still believed in her best friend, still made excuses for her.


    But then, hearing themotion, Balfour lifted his head to look at Patricia, a sharp coldness in his


    grief–stricken eyes, Patrias, who did you just say


    killed Ellinor?”


    Patricia rubbed away her tears, torn between feelings, “Brother, it was Haillie who harmed Ellinor! She


    acted recklessly! She hired someone only interested in money, regardless of the consequences, then


    deliberately went to the nchet family, lured Ellinor to a spot without surveince in the alley outside


    their gate, and had her hit! Brother, I tried to stop her. I did. She even promised me she wouldn’t go

    Haillie was on the verge of copse. She muttered, “Patricia, I did it for you… I only did it so you and


    Theo could be together again. How could you betray


    me now…”


    Patricia took a deep breath, tears streaming down her face, “For me? Haillie, I’ve told you more than


    once that Theo and I are over! And I’ve always told you not to harm Ellinor for my sake. Even if you


    wanted to confront her for me, you can’t just kill her! Hallie, you’ve already had a criminal record and


    spent time in jail. Haven’t you learned anything?”


    Seeing Patricia acting like she had nothing to do with it, Haillie remembered what Ellinor had told her


    that morning.


    Ellinor had warned her that Patricia was good at ying the victim, using those around her who cared


    for her and trusted her
