"What's your relationship with him?" Barbara asked.

What I mean to say is, you're not the first woman to come and talk to me over this.""You!"

"You couldn't accept that, could you? So when you heard that I liked Jeremy, you went in great lengths to seduce him. The purpose of all this is to break me, isn't it?"."You must be lunatic!"

She promised me she would let go of Mr. But behind my back, she plotted against me and set me up so that Myra would see her in my bed. Because of that, Myra broke up with me. Your mother has never been blameless in this tragedy! I became like this because of her! Do you understand?" "Bullshit!" Jeremy did not believe that his gentle mother would pull such a plot.

"Have you found out the identity of the person who abducted the child?" "No, the hospital's surveillance video was blurry and the man wore a mask, therefore his face was not apparent at all," John replied. That was a premeditated act!
