Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 177

You should talk to her about this. Maybe the happiness you thought was right for her was only a façade.”Tina opened her mouth to defend herself, but no words came to mind. She couldn’t find the words to refute Elspeth’s remarks.Elspeth gazed right into Tina’s frightened eyes, then turned to walk out of the room where she saw Spencer and Mrs. Fowler. Then, she asked Mrs. Fowler, “Mrs. Fowler, please come in.”Just when she was about to leave, she glanced at Spencer. “You too.”Spencer nodded and hastily followed her in.“Mrs. Fowler, Tina isn’t sick.”Mrs. Fowler was in disbelief, “How is that possible?”“You’ll understand when you see the wounds on her body.”Mrs. Fowler gingerly moved forward and lifted Tina’s long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
