NovelEnglish“Kelly's parents divorced when she was very young,” he said and clasped his hands together. “Her mother
remarried and moved away with her new husband, leaving Kelly in the care of her father. Then, her father
passed away in a car accident two years after the divorce. After that, Kelly’s grandmother took care of her. She
was like a mother to her. When her grandmother fell ill last year, Kelly helped take care of her, along with her
aunt, until her grandma's death last week.”
| didn’t talk for a long tafter Alexander's bombshell. My brain was buzzing because now | knew the reason
that Kelly had gone off the deep end.
Because of her grandmother's death last week-the only true parent that she had ever known-Kelly snapped. She
was already a mentally unstable person, but the death of her closest loved one had driven her to become
dangerous to herself and others. She reverted back to her high school self, and that was why she had becso
obsessed with Russell. It was so that she didn’t have to think about the loss of her grandmother.
Sympathy for Kelly flowed through me. Maybe the young girl had even paid this Dorothy woman to be her
grandmother so that Kelly could act like she was still alive. That thought made the hairs on the back of my neck
stand.
“I bet that Kelly had planned on using us to kill Chloe from the beginning,” | said more to myself than to
Alexander. | had always done my best thinking out loud. “Kelly wanted to get revenge against Chloe for killing
Russell. And because Chloe is so arrogant, she was able to fall for Kelly's innocent act, and that was how Kelly
tricked her into thinking she was on her side.” | paused for a few moments. “Thank you

so much for tellingthat, Alexander,” | said gratefully. “It's really helpful to understand Chloe’s motivations.”
Alexander waved his hand nonchalantly and shrugged. “It’s no problem, | heard all of this information through
village gossip. | thought that | should tell you to help with your investigation.”
A small smile crossed my face, and | leaned toward him. “I thought that you just said that you had your tech guy
look into Kelly's life after we met with her fake grandma,’ | said with a slightly teasing tone.
Alexander went red and averted his gaze from mine. It was nice to see him embarrassed for caring about me. For
a moment, the shoe was on the other foot.
“I have more information if you're interested,” Alexander said, quickly changing the subject.
I nodded frantically, anxious to hear anything that would help. In a situation as layered as Chloe's life and the
number of people she has wronged, even the smallest detail mattered.
“Russell Lewis was a childhood friend of Kelly's,” Alexander revealed. “Ever since they were born, the two were
inseparable.” He paused for a fraction of a second before he continued. “The man that | had visited today was
Russell's uncle.”
My eyes widened, and | leaned toward him, intrigued.
“Russell's uncle was hoping to meet with you,” Alexander continued. “I have his contact information.” His dark
eyes locked onto mine, and his expression grew somber. “I really think that through this meeting, you will find
the answers that you're seeking.”
| lapsed into silence as all the information he just toldran through my head.
