Sharron did not expect things to escalate to this point. The heartache the former once felt toward her daughter turned into blame. “You still refuse to admit your mistake? You’ve disappointed me, Eloise.”

Eloise cried and repeated, “It wasn’t me, Mom! I swear it wasn’t!”

Chester’s expression darkened when he heard his daughter’s cries. He stared at her and said, “Yeah, it wasn’t your doing.”

Sharron was stunned as she turned to look at her husband. Puzzled, she said, “Honey, we know what happened. Why are you defending her?”

“I’m not. It’s just that Eloise must deny it, no matter what. She mustn’t admit to it,” Chester explained. He turned to his daughter and asked, “I know you well. You never leave evidence behind whenever you do such things.

“They can’t do anything if you don’t admit it. Now, how much did you pay those three people? I’ll figure something out for you.”

Eloise noticed her father being supportive. She stopped hiding things and said, “Half a million.”

Chester frowned when he heard that. “They were just three people. Why’d you pay them so much?”
