Rosalynn perked up.
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe waiter served Johnâs private room.
While I couldnât spot him tampering with the wine, he oddly resigned today.
I dug into his banking transactions and noticed a deposit of one hundred thousand dollars yesterday.
The sender? Moira, Eleanorâs assistant.
â
Rosalynn was taken aback, her eyes twinkling with surprise.
âAre you suggesting Eleanor might have set up Valeria?â
Hutton scoffed, âIt certainly appears so.
A mistress is the worst.
Butâ¦â
âBut what?â Rosalynn prodded.
âUpon further investigation, it turns out the waiter and Moira are cousins.
So we canât conclusively say the money was for framing Valeria.
It might just be a family Loan.
â
Rosalynn nodded in agreement.
âYouâre right.
We canât jump to conclusions without solid evidence.
â
Despite her words, she couldnât shake off the suspicion that Eleanor was involved in the whole ordeal.
âIâll keep digging into this, Rosalynn.
Thereâs something off about Eleanor.
She might be pulling the strings behind the scenes,â Hutton shared, echoing her thoughts.
Rosalynn responded with a light smile before ending the call.
âRosalynn, are you suggesting that Eleanor set up Valeria?â Maggie, having overheard their conversation, asked.
Rosalynn shook her head in disagreement.
âWe donât have any concrete proof to tie Eleanor to this incident.
â
Maggie paused to ponder, then asked, âIndeed.
Even if Eleanor and Valeria donât get along, it seems extreme for Eleanor to sacrifice her own child to frame Valeria.
After all, the baby was her ticket to a secure relationship with Mr.
Hughes.
â
Maggieâs casual words caused Rosalynnâs heart to flutter
Indeed, the child was Eleanorâs most effective ticket to marrying Brian.
She would do everything to protect her child.
