Looking at the remorse on her best friend’s face, Lina naturally knew what was on her mind. “Alright, it’s a good
thing if we can clear William’s name. Don’t blame yourself. You’ve been trying to help William find evidence to
prove his innocence, haven’t you? You should be glad that you have evidence now. He didn’t betray your trust.”
“Yeah, I should. William probably is innocent. He didn’t push Nelson,” Grace murmured.
The police soon came out with the results of their investigation, and Nelson cooperated with the police. The

William. I’ll apologize to William. Without him, I might still be lying in the hospital.”
“It’s not your fault. It’s just a strange combination of circumstances,” said Grace. Not only was it because of the
sound and Jasper and Mick’s testimonies but also the fact that it took so many days for them to find the bullet.
The series of coincidences caused everyone to get the wrong idea.
“William is no longer with the Reed family. He’s gone back to Deer City with his father. I’m afraid we won’t be seeing
him for a while, “said Grace.

see him next time. I’ll… thank him too!” Nelson Corbyn said sternly.
Kyla seemed apologetic. “I’m sorry. I misunderstood William too. He’s a good kid. Nelson and I owe him big time.”
“Alright, Kyla. Don’t overthink it. I’ll make time to visit William later. I’ll tell him then! As you said, William’s a good

“William kept saying he didn’t push Nelson down the stairs. I… I even called him a liar and said that I hated him and
didn’t want to be friends with him anymore. He must hate me and not want to be friends with me now. It must be
