Jared couldn’t help but ask.
Debbie shook her head.
“It was James.” The truth would go public soon.
Debbie thought it was better to tell Kasie and the others now, before they heard the news from other sources.
Tears filled Kasie’s eyes. She said with a sob, “So, that’s the truth behind Emmett’s death…”
“Yes. Carlos found out. He has all the proof. James’ and Stephanie’s fates are in Carlos’ hands now.” James had tried to flee abroad two days ago, but Carlos had his men bring him back before he could set foot in the airport.

If we were half as smart as you were, we would’ve gone for higher studies too.” She had completely forgotten that she had once gone for higher studies abroad with Carlos’ help.
“Exactly.” The other three nodded, echoing Debbie’s words. Dixon was the most excellent student in their class. It would have been a waste if he hadn’t gotten the chance to do further studies.
Seeing that they had ganged up on him, Dixon quit arguing and bowed down his head to eat.
After dinner, Ivan cand took Kasie back home.
