The photo showed a woman with a swollen face, half of which was covered in scars. It was hard to recognize her face.
Their faces instantly turned gloomy, and all showed signs of disappointment.
“I can’t recognize her, Emmeline said. “What do we do now?”
“It’s so frustrating. Janie said. “The person in the photo is so swollen and unrecognizable.”
“Wait!” Lizbeth exclaimed. “This necklace!”
Emmeline focused back on the photo and said, “What about the necklace?”
Lizbeth said, “If I’m not mistaken, the necklace around her neck is the one I gave to Evelyn!”
Janie took a deep breath and said, “Are you sure?”
“I bought that necklace myself. How could I be wrong?” Lizbeth said, “I bought it to please Evelyn and ease my parent’s worries. It was an expensive necklace, so I remember it very clearly!”
Emmeline said, “She must be Evelyn, then!”
“Exactly.” Lizbeth said, “Erin is Evelyn!”
“So, we weren’t wrong in our suspicions!” Emmeline said, “Abel’s shot was worth it!”
“I still get scared to recall the day Erin kidnapped Sun. Lizbeth said, “It’s good that Mr. Abel ended her with one shot. It saved everyone from further harm too!”
“You should tell your parents right away,” Emmeline said, “so they can be relieved that this threat is finally gone.”
Lizbeth said, “I’ll also show this photo to Edmond and tell him the truth. He should have realized what had happened by then!”
“Right,” Janie said, “he shouldn’t hate his own family anymore. You all are his real family, and Evelyn is the enemy!”
“Exactly,” Lizbeth said. “I’ll talk to my parents first.”
