Chapter 23
Vicky shot Sheila a half-hearted smile. âWhat exactly did I say, then?â
âMiss Shaw, you admitted to jumping into that pool just seconds ago. Are you trying to go back on your
own statement?â
âDid I?â Vicky stared at Sheila. âHow did I admit to it?â
Sheila froze and muttered, âYouâ¦â Halfway through her sentence, Sheila paused, unable to make
another sound.
âWhatever you say,â is all I said, but you three were the ones who had been speaking the entire time.
Every time I try to say something, Miss Sasha over there just tries to overpower my voice by yelling. Iâm
injured, so am I supposed to shout back?â She gave one final sarcastic look to Sheila and added, âOr is
the louder one the one in the right?â
Furious, Sasha pointed at Vicky and shouted, âI didnât push you, Vicky Shaw! Donât even think of
blaming this on me! I havenât even called the police on you for hitting me in the head⦠Youâll be in jail
soon!â
Vicky simply repeated what Sasha once said about Cece. âWhether you did it or not, itâs not up to you.
Itâs up to the police to decide.â She then closed her eyes and leaned back against the bed head in
exhaustion. âThere were plenty of surveillance cameras in the backyard, so all we need to do is to
check the footage, and weâll learn the truth.â
Silence instantly fell over the room and Sasha started to panic.
âOh, by the way,â Vicky added, âshe recorded me the entire time I was struggling in the water, so why
donât you check her phone? Maybe youâll make some discoveries.â
Sasha tensed nervously. Indeed, she had recorded the process, hoping to watch the way Vicky
suffered again afterward, not knowing that it would become proof of her crime.
Everyone inside the room was smart enough to know what had happened by the look on Sashaâs face,
and Sebastian immediately took out his phone to call the police.
Sasha tried to run, but he blocked the exit of the room. Terrified, she turned to Sheila for help.
âSheilaâ¦â
Sheilaâs expression darkened and she ignored Sashaâs plea.
Sasha turned to Tyler with tears in her eyes. âTyler, I didnât⦠I didnât mean toâ¦â
Tyler refused to look at her.
Shortly after, the police arrived, and once Sebastian explained what had happened, they arrested
Sasha, and silence returned to the room.
Vicky closed her eyes as she laid on the bed. âIâm tired and want to rest now.â
Sebastian nodded. âAlright. Remember to eat your breakfast.â
âThank you.â
Before leaving, Sebastian glanced at Sheila and Tyler. âCan you two be more considerate? Vicky said
sheâs tired and needs to rest.â
The two finally left, and Sheila called out to Tyler as they walked out of Vickyâs room. âTyler, can I talk to
you for a while?â
