Anthony was all smiles, but Kisa could tell a strong sense of menace in his voice. Lea was so afraid of him she did not dare look at him. "I didn't lie. I clearly saw that it was... it was Ms. Case who ordered that man to show those pictures."
"Are you sure?" Anthony snickered with a threatening look on his handsome face.
Lea was shaking more and more.
Kisa hastily intervened. "Mr. Mullen, please don't threaten her with that tone. She has just identified Sharon; why are you so concerned? Could it be that you are in cahoots with Sharon?"
"No. I didn't see this mister. I only saw Ms. Case ask that man to show the photos. I-I think this matter has nothing to do with this mister.
Kisa frowned, wondering why Lea was so defensive of Anthony. She suspected Lea might be afraid of his retribution.
"B*tch!" Sharon was enraged, pointing at Lea and cursing. "What proof do you have that I ordered this man to show those pictures? Let's talk about evidence." With that, she started to play the victim's card. "For those of you who don't know, this woman is Kisa's best friend. Kisa certainly ordered this woman to frame me. Don't fall for Kisa's tricks. She is good at pretending to be innocent to get your sympathy."
"No, no. I'm not framing her. I'm telling the truth." Lea hurriedly defended her stand. But she was only a waitress, and her words could not carry the weight of Sharon's.
A chorus of discussion rose. There were those who took Sharon's side, and those who took Kisa's side.
Kisa's eyes turned icy as she sneered at Sharon. "You say she framed you, then I would like to ask: at the beginning she said Ms. Case and did not name her first name. So the Ms. Case she mentioned could be someone else. By getting so worked up and wanting to hit her, are you having it on your conscience?"
