Edward Kent?”Alice answered, “Yes, he is in the P city hospital now. Thankfully, Jonas came clean before anything bad happened.”Jake said, “There must be spies inside the Mansion. Don’t let Jonas know the truth for now.”Jonathan seconded him, “Either they have spies everywhere - Aprice Mansion: quite likely but inconsequential, Smith Mansion: I doubt it as everyone went through extensive background checks, the Villa where we are currently staying: also doubtful, and this Mansion. Or someone very close to us is helping them.”Liliana nodded thoughtfully.Leonardo laid out his guess, “I think it’s the latter. I doubt they have managed to rope in our assistants or butlers. Besides, everyone’s roles are distinct. Apart from Alice and Vincent - no other person is involved in everything. And I don’t have a s

You have better things to prioritize, so you think you can push my best friend around.”“Did you think Mariana is incapable of defending herself or proving her innocence?”“Just because she keeps mum and doesn’t speak up because she values you as her friends and wants to give you a face - do you think you can go around toying with her life?”Mariana looked at her horrified, “Lil!”Liliana was on a roll. She snapped at Mariana, “I will get to you later.”She turned to James and asked, “What do you plan to do about your family? At first, we let go of Alice Moss because of your family.
