Chapter 294


    Janice shook her head. "No, when I got there, I was so focused on Jta that I just followed the


    ambnce to the hospital."


    At this, I saw Jta close her eyes, looking disappointed.


    Janice, frustrated, shook her head vigorously. Then, suddenly, she said, "Butter, Irving dide and


    ask me if Jta''s stuff was all there. He even asked if she''d called me before the ident, and what


    she had said."


    Both Jta and I listened to Janice''s words.


    "I told him she hadn''t called, and I hadn''t seen any of her stuff!" Janice recalled, "But I never did see


    Jta''s bag! I asked the police handling the caseter, and they said they hadn''t seen any of


    Jta''s belongings either."


    "Was Irving there when you arrived?" I asked Janice.


    "We basically arrived at the same time!" Janice replied, frowning.


    "That means someone else took Jta''s bag!" I voiced my thoughts, and we all felt a chill run down


    our spines.


    Janice turned to Jta, "Sis, are you sure you had your bag with you that day? And that the key was


    in it?"


    Jta nodded, "...Yes."


    "What key?" Janice pressed.


    Jta closed her eyes weakly, letting out a breath, looking slightly defeated.


    "Don''t worry. We''ll find it out!" Janice hurried tofort her.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Jta shook her head, her lips moving, "Evidence... conditions!"


    I watched her closely. Her eyes were filled with resentment. She added, "Negotiated... conditions!"


    I immediately understood her meaning, recalling the conversation I had with Catherine during the


    cocktail party.


    "Do you mean the agreed divorce conditions and evidence of Irving''s infidelity?" I quickly asked


    Jta.


    Jta nodded, relieved.


    Janice asked in confusion, "Allie, what''s going on?"


    I guessed that Gevena didn''t tell her, fearing she would panic. So, I went ahead and exined to


    Janice how Catherine and I got Olivia to spill the beans at the party. Janice seemed to finally


    understand.


    It dawned on us that Jta meant to give the key to Janice for safekeeping before her ident.


    When the ident happened, the key was in her bag. But after the ident, Janice never saw


    Jta''s bag. The bag vanished!


    Janice and I exchanged nces. "It seems that the bag ended up with Irving," I said, shuddering.


    "I''ll ask Barber to look into it again tomorrow. See if any of the officers at the scene remember seeing


    the bag!" Janice said, her voice filled with anger.


    Iforted her, "Don''t worry. Now that Jta is awake, there is no need to rush things. What I mean


    is, once Jta recovers a bit more, she can exin everything herself."


    I turned to Jta and said, "Don''t worry. the bag won''t disappear! If you were able to find it back then,


    others can find it too!"


    Then I said to Janice, "Janice, Logan should have an easier time looking into this than Mr. Forrest.


    Plus, didn''t Logan promise to help you out? He''s a man of his word. There is no use rushing now. You


    both need to focus on getting better!"


    Janice nodded andforted Jta, "Sis, Allie is right. Focus on getting better. We''ll get our stuff


    back. Irving will get what he deserves!"


    Jta nodded, a tear trickling down her cheek.


    We talked for a while longer before someone came in saying they were looking for me.


    I nced at Hannah, who had been by my side the whole time. She turned to leave.


    Janice and I exchanged nces. "Could it be Jan? We can''t let him in!"


    I nodded and said, "Don''t worry. I''m leaving now."


    With that, I gestured to Jta and said, "I''m going now, I''lle see you again soon!"


    As I got up to leave, Hannah returned. "It''s Jan!"
