“Oh, no wonder. | was wondering why | hadn't seen Bethany lately. | guess she must be too embarrassed to show everyone her face.” Justin nodded thoughtfully and then turned to Ryan with a serious expression. “Carrie has been staying with you all this time. You haven't harmed her in any way, right? Ryan's heart skipped a beat as he recalled holding Carrie’s delicate and soft body last night. He suddenly felt flushed all over.
Just as Ryan struggled to respond, lan ran over from the other end of the corridor.
“M-Mr. Salvador! Ms. Thompson is here!” Ryan widened his eyes and looked at Justin. Upon hearing that Bella had arrived, Justin seemed momentarily dazed. He asked again,” Who's here?” “Ms. Thompson!

She could not help but ask, “How is her relationship with Bella?” “Not great, from what I've heard.” “Heh, that’s interesting.” With another yawn, Shannon seemed unfazed by the commotion. “Ah, is that annoying girl from the Hoffman family not here today?
