Susan stared at the three of them in disbelief. These kids are ganging up on me! I’d be dead if Evan believes their story! This won’t do… I’ll have to call Evan and explain to him first!
After giving it some thought, Susan turned around and ran downstairs. By the time the kids got there, they saw that all the doors were locked.
Juan was bewildered. “What’s going on? Is she trying to lock us in?”
“Our plans will be ruined if we don’t get out of here! What do we do?”
At the same time, Susan began calling Evan as she stood in the courtyard, but there was no answer. Having no other choice, she could only sit on the wooden benches and wait for him to call back.
I’ve got to explain the situation to him! There is no way I’m going to just sit back and let those kids frame me like this!
In a state of panic, the kids called Damien and Darius for help. However, Susan refused to let them in and even threatened to kill herself if they insisted on entering.
The two then attempted to sneak in through a window on the third floor, but their phones fell out of their pockets while they were climbing the wall. With Damien’s phone shattered and Darius’ in the pond, there was no way for any of them to answer John’s calls.
“Did Susan catch you guys leaving?” John asked after understanding what happened.
“She caught us on our way out and tried to stop us, so I had no choice but to knock her unconscious.”
“You did the right thing!” Jensen expressed his approval.
“I bet she’s telling Mr. Seet about it right now. I wonder how he’ll punish us for this…” Darius said.
They all looked up at the same time.
In the study upstairs, Susan was bawling her eyes out in front of Evan.
“I really don’t know how they got those injuries, Evan! It really has nothing to do with me! You have to believe me!”
