Simona replied impatiently, “Do I need to tell you who it’s for? Keep this a secret from my parents, or I’ll hold you accountable.”

Jonathan didn’t respond, and Teresa didn’t say anything else. Although she had blocked him, the chat history was still there. When she scrolled up, she saw that he had not accepted the money she sent for the movie tickets and had returned it.
Jonathan messaged Teresa again at around 5:00 PM., telling her to go to the Lynn residence tonight to take the scarf. Irene would not be around, and only he would be
“Where are you going? Visiting some relatives?” Miriam asked.
Teresa called Jonathan, but his line was busy. She thought, ‘What’s going on? Is he coming back or not? The door’s open and the lights are on, so someone must’ve been here but had just left.
