“I know I was wrong. I’ll go to the police and turn myself in. Will you let me go?” Jacqueline pleaded.


    N shook her head. “I’m afraid that won’t work. Even if you turn yourself in, the Rainfords could still bail you out.


    “What I want is for you to experience the same pain and fear that Vrie went through. Only then will you understand what she endured.


    Jacqueline felt a wave of despair. She hadn’t expected N to be so ruthless. She started to regret listening to Erin and taking action against Vrie. If she had just listened to her parents and apologized to N, she wouldn’t be in this desperate. situation now.


    Wait… Erin was the one who had instigated her. If she could just shift the me onto Erin, maybe she could save herself!


    At that thought, she looked up at N.


    “Ms. Jayston, Erin was the one who directed me,” she revealed.


    N frowned and looked at her coldly. “Erin has no grievance with Vrie. What could she gain from having you harm Vrie?”


    Jacqueline shook her head, her voice trembling. “I–I don’t know, but she told me that if I ruined Vrie, <b>Tom </b>would be with me and save the Rainfords… Ir–really didn’t mean to harm Vrie Please, s–spare me!”


    “<b>So </b>it was Erin who instructed you to takepromising photos of Vrie and to force her to jump?” N asked.


    “Yes! She made me do it all!” Jacqueline confirmed.


    Desperate to save herself, Jacqueline tried to shift all the me onto <b>Erin</b>.


    N watched her in silence. Just as Jacqueline thought N might be convinced, N suddenly made a phone call


    Soon, Erin’s gentle voice came over the line “Ms. N, what can I do for you?”


    N didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she yed the recording she had made


    earlier

    After the recording ended, there was a brief silence before Erin’s voice, now cold, came through. “Ms. N, do you believe Jacqueline’s ims?”


    N lowered her gaze and said slowly, “I didn’t want to believe it, but Jacqueline’s usations seemed serious, so I wanted to ask you, Ms. Hulle.”


    I


    “She says it was my Instructions. Does she have any proof?” Erin asked.


    Before N could respond, Jacqueline, sitting on the floor, snarled, “Erin, don’t deny it! You were the one who directed me when we went shopping that day!”


    “Jacqueline, you need evidence to make such ims. If you don’t have proof, keep quiet. If you continue to nder me, not just me, but the Hulles won’t let you off either!” Erin warned.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    With that, she hung up.


    N looked at Jacqueline with indifference. Do you have any evidence?”


    Jacqueline was frozen in ce. How could she have any evidence? She had never expected things to escte this far.


    Seeing her silence, N said coldly, “Since you don’t have evidence, stop wasting


    time.”


    “No, I don’t want to jump! I’ll die if I jump!” Jacqueline cried.


    N didn’t respond, but the two men beside her moved toward Jacqueline.


    She frantically backed away, but the room was too small, and within a minute, she was caught.


    The men held her arms and legs and began to lift her toward the window.


    Jacqueline was filled with terror as she struggled desperately. “No, please! I beg you! Let me go! I truly understand my mistake!”


    Just as the men were about to throw her out of the window, a cold, angry voice echoed from the doorway. “Stop!”
