Eric's POV

"I don’t know the exact moments leading up to all of this. Because Serena was under her mother’s care. But there was clearly some conflict between Serena and Malisa in the weeks leading up to this, that’s all I know. Perhaps her homeroom teacher could clarify more," I said, nudging Lina with my elbow.

I hoped this answer would be enough to divert their attention, but the crowd of reporters still seemed curious. Lina looked confused, but I tried to signal her to explain if necessary. The atmosphere was becoming more pressing, and I knew we had to be careful with every word that came out.

Lina seemed startled, looking nervous to start her answer. I gestured for her to begin speaking, reassuring her that this was the right time to gain positive validation.

Finally, I was in a position of control to speak at length and explain everything that was on my mind.

It was even possible that Malisa could become a suspect in Serena's death.That thought sent a rush of energy through my body.

    Malisa's POV Since I found Serena being abducted by Eric and entrusted to her homeroom teacher, I became increasingly convinced that there was something going on between Eric and Mrs. Lina. Even to this day, I still have my assistant investigating the truth. I want to ensure that their conspiracy is uncovered soon.But I lost control when I heard the news that Serena had been hospitalized due to a suicide attempt.
