Sofia continued, “At first he was really reluctant, but after his mom and I kept pressing him, he finally told us everything.”

Jean pressed her lips together, her brows furrowed deeply.

“I asked him, if he didn’t do it, then why was he even at Tri Street at that time…” Sofia’s voice rose a little, her emotions clearly getting stirred up. “Asher told me it was because he had just left the hotel where his mom works. Since it was the weekend and there was no school, he stayed late to keep her company.”

Jean nodded in understanding.

That sounded exactly like something Asher would do.

She had even seen him before, helping his mom, Mindy, at the hotel.

“Then I asked him,” Sofia sighed lightly, “after he left the hotel, why didn’t he just go home? Why go to Tri Street, which is in the opposite direction? And you know what? He refused to tell me!” Sofia’s voice filled with obvious frustration. “I really don’t get what he’s thinking. Acting all secretive and refusing to explain anything no wonder the police are suspicious!”

–

Jean pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

There was definitely some hidden reason, something Asher couldn’t openly talk about…

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed silent.

So why had he gone to Tri Street that night?

Was it because of Thomas?

After venting her anger, Sofia gradually calmed down again. “Even though Asher wouldn’t tell me why he went to Tri Street, he did tell me–he knows who the real culprit is!”

“Thomas?” Jean blurted out without even thinking.

Jean felt a heavy sense of guilt.

Besides, Thomas and his sister really were despicable. How could people like them be allowed to walk free while an innocent Asher took the blame?

She didn’t need any evidence or investigation –Jean fully believed Asher was innocent.

Come on, he was the male lead!

The male lead was always a positive, good–hearted character. And from everything she knew about the book, Asher would never do something like that.

Thomas, on the other hand, absolutely would.
