“What?” My heart pounded, and my eyes bulged in disbelief.

“What happened?”

Jennifer’s face darkened as she scrutinized me from head to toe.

“This morning, the reporters took their filming gear to the prison, all set to broadcast Jayla’s transfer.

But to their shock, they discovered her lifeless body.

She died in agony, her eyes wide open, frozen in pain

Now everyone thinks you’re the culprit.

My mouth hung open, the weight of the accusation rendering me speechless.

Jayla was gone, and I was cast as the prime suspect in the mystery of her death.

I furrowed my brow and said calmly, “Although Caleb and I visited her yesterday, he only forbade her from uttering a word.

We didn’t do anything else.

I couldn’t allow myself to be defeated so easily.

Mustering my strength, I vowed to remain calm.

I took a deep, steadying breath and said, “These allegations are nothing but a malicious fabrication.

Even if I harbored ill will towards Jayla, I would never stoop to such a level, especially not now.

This would do no good to the Roz Town residents.

Jenifer massaged her forehead as she grappled with the predicament.

“Sadly, public opinion is one-sided.

No one will buy it, Debra.

The crowd needs proof before they’ll even consider your side.

A heavy silence engulfed the room.
