Andrew turned to Jeremy again, but before he could say anything, Jeremy expressionlessly asked, "Is Melody involved in this?" His tone was neutral, but combined with him saying that he was here to pick someone up, his meaning was clear—he was here to take Melody home.
Andrew was caught off guard.
Of course, Melody wasn't involved. He had merely taken the opportunity to ask her here so he could remind her of her place.
But Andrew couldn't tell Jeremy that, so he could only force a smile and say, "Of course not. It's just that she was the only person her friends could get in touch with. After all, Mel has always been a good kid."
"So, you and Mr. Grant think that the problem lies with Felicia?" Zachary's low voice sounded again.
This time, neither Andrew nor Sebastian had anything to say.
Before Zachary arrived, they didn't think that there was anything wrong with pointing fingers at Felicia. She was only a young lady, after all, and she held no real power in the York family.
But Zachary was different—he was the sole heir to the Stantons.
Zachary's gaze swept over the two men. "If you're adamant that Felicia stole something, then I hope you can provide the evidence rather than just asking us to take you for your word."
Evidence? What evidence?
Technically, there was evidence, and they were all in Felicia's camera. But would that evidence be in support of Felicia or them?
With that, neither Andrew nor Sebastian dared utter another word.
…
Once they left the police station, Tiffany sent Jason home, while Felicia left with Zachary.
After that, Melody followed Jeremy into his car.
