However, regarding the matter of who had leaked the information to Zac, the police made it clear that it was not within their scope. They advised the family to resolve that issue themselves.
Once the <b>officers </b>left, Mrs. Jasper Sr., having taken her medication, still had no <b>intention </b>of letting Charlotte off the hook. She kept pressing for Charlotte to apologize to Vivian.
Charlotte let out a coldugh. “Apologize? She <b>is </b>not even worthy of one.

Mrs. Jasper went quiet at once.
Vivian stood with tears streaming down her face. She hit her lip and reached out to hug at <b>Sean’s </b>sleeve, “Seat, I really…
Before she could finish, Sean shoved her hand away and turned to walk upstairs, pulling out his phone to make a call as he went.

Mrs. Jasper Sr. bristled with indignation
