"What could I possibly gain from this?" Sunny Reed said, her voice full of hurt. "Mom and Dad treat me so well, and you take such good care of me, too. I have no reason to frame my sister."
She sobbed softly, looking incredibly hurt and aggrieved.
Walker Grant’s handsome brows knitted together, and a chilling air settled around him. He lowered his gaze, his fingers drumming lightly on his knee.
After a long moment, he finally said, "She would never do something like this."
Sunny Reed bit her lip. "Walker, I get what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I won’t hold my sister responsible. It was probably just a careless mistake. I don’t blame her."

’This is infuriating!’
’I got nothing out of this again!’
’This isn’t the result I wanted at all!’
