Olivia’s heart shuddered, knowing she could not explain herself again.

John would probably not believe her even if she told him everything.

In the middle of the standoff, Dorothy lay in John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, please don’t blame Liv for this. It’s me… It’s because of me… I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. That’s why she strangled me.”

“She strangled you?”

“When I turned on the light, I saw Mr. Quinton walk in. with Liv in his arms, and they kissed on the sofa…”

They spoke at the same time, and Dorothy’s voice was louder than Zac’s.

A sudden silence fell upon the room.

John could not bear it anymore. He pushed Dorothy away and dashed toward Zac, pulling Olivia out of his embrace.
