“It’s true, Nat. Your mom came to see me yesterday to talk about Jared. We got into an argument, and then your mom stormed away. She was walking too fast. That’s why she slipped. I called for an ambulance the moment I found out your mom had fallen down, but I never expected…”

Harrison’s voice trailed off, and he lowered his head, as though overwrought with grief.

Natalie’s entire body was trembling. “Enough with your phony attitude. My mom doesn’t need any of that! You’re beneath her!”

“Nat…”

“Just stop,” Natalie cut him off. Taking a deep breath, she blinked back her tears before continuing, “Since both of you refuse to tell the truth, fine. I’ll get to the bottom of it myself. If I find out the two of you have something to do with my mom’s death, I’ll make sure you rot in prison for the rest of your lives!”

Upon seeing Natalie coming out, Shane pushed off the wall he was leaning against just moments ago and asked, “How did it go?”

Natalie shook her head. “They’re staying tight-lipped. I couldn’t get anything out of them.”

Shane stared at the door to the interrogation room and replied solemnly, “I’m not surprised. If they’re really the culprits, it’s completely normal that they’re refusing to cooperate to escape legal consequences.”

Natalie lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions.
