Jodie's face lit up with delight, and she immediately started yelling toward the next room.

"Grace, you bitch! How dare you frame me?"

The police station had good soundproofing, so Grace could only see Ethan talking to Jodie, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.

When she heard how loudly Jodie was screaming, she walked out.

Jodie started to cry again. She turned back and kneeled before Ethan, tugging on his sleeve.
