"Cynthia, if it wasn't you, then why did you run when the police came?" "Did the police find any evidence?" Cynthia asked. "If they didn't, then it's slander." "Enough with the tough talk," Zac said impatiently. "You clearly know whether you did it or not. If it weren't for the fact that you're part of the Zellers, no one would have protected you. But now, you have the nerve to complain that we didn't contact you? If we really had reached out to you, would you have dared to cback? Now, you return without a word. What are you trying to do?"

"Jen, don't make it sound like I'm a monster, as if must have an ulterior motive just because I cback. This is my home. I've just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to see you all.

I rushed back from the company thinking there was smajor issue. It` seems I cback for nothing. I have work to do." Zac also stood up. "If you need anything, just tell the servants.
