…Haley sat on her apartment couch. Beside her was a bag of popcorn and in her hand was her phone as she read through the netizens’ comments online. “Isn’t the Nash Family too heartless?”“This is a huge revelation.”“So Desmond Nash has a skeleton hidden in his closet.”“What did that poor homeless girl do?”“Would he gain anything from killing her?”“I heard Desmond Nash has anger issues, is it true?”“By the way, who is that girl?”“Probably one of the servants from the Nash Mansion.”“Tsk! Indeed, they're heartless!”“Never am I rooting for that mean old couple again.”“It's surprising though… isn't Leah supposed to be their daughter-in-law?”“Right! Why would she kick Vera on the leg?”“To frame that young lady whose back was to the camera, duh!”“How cruel! I bet Vera doesn't care about her life as long as she gets her selfish desires.”“Same goes for that entire family!”“Well, I have a feeling that lady in the footage might be the same girl Desmond is after.”“What else can
