Abbie couldn't help but recall the heartwarming scene she witnessed between Kelvin and Cheyenne earlier. She had never seen him smile so genuinely before. He had shown a side she had never experienced when they were together.
Lost in her thoughts, Abbie suddenly noticed Kelvin placing a pair of blue sapphire earrings in front of her. With a serious expression, he looked at her.
"Is this yours?" he asked.
Kelvin remembered clearly seeing her wear it numerous times before. This must be it.
As Abbie saw the earring, her heart skipped a beat, and a sense of panic arose within her. It was indeed her earring.
However, she wasn't sure if she had lost it that night, either at the abandoned building or on her way home. She had searched for a long time but couldn't find it anywhere.
And now, unexpectedly, it was in Kelvin's hand.
Abbie mustered a faint smile and reached out to take them. "Yes, it's my earring. I didn't expect you to find it. Please, give it back to me."
But just as her fingers were about to touch the earring, Kelvin pulled his hand back, tightly clutching onto it.
"This earring wasn't found by me but Cheyenne," he stated firmly.
Oh no!
In an instant, Abbie's face turned pale, drained of all color. Kelvin observed her reaction, evidently realizing something, and his handsome face turned ashen as he punched the sofa's armrest, causing a dull pain in his knuckles.
The atmosphere around them grew heavy, and his voice rang out coldly. "Did you kill Jase? Is this just your plan to frame Cheyenne? You're truly insane!"
"Insane?" Abbie chuckled, her lustrous eyes filled with tears, a touch of crimson making them heart-wrenching. "So now you're taking Cheyenne's side against me? If I'm truly insane, it's all because of what you've driven me to!"
"I know you won't rat me out, Kelvin, otherwise, you wouldn't have invited me here to talk," she continued smugly, reaching out to grab his arm, only to be pushed away by Kelvin.
He looked at her disdainfully, flicking her hand away without a trace of kindness. Impatience etched on his face, he demanded, "First, tell me, did you kill Jase?"
"It wasn't me," Abbie truthfully replied. She hadn't lied. It wasn't her who had killed Jase; it was Master Davon. She was merely an accomplice, handing him the knife.
"Then how do you explain your earring being found at the crime scene? And there's surveillance footage too. Do you want me to show it to you?" Kelvin took out his phone, opened the previously retrieved video from the hospital, and placed it in front of Abbie.
On the screen, they could see Abbie and Vincent walking out of the hospital room together. The person in the adjacent room was Jase.
"You both came out within a minute. Is that just a coincidence?" Kelvin questioned.
Abbie bit her rosy lip tightly, her complex emotions gradually clearing up, as if a determined resolve had settled in her eyes.
Initially, she had wanted to give Kelvin a chance. As long as he still loved her, she would spare him. However, the reality saddened Abbie. He had chosen to stand against her and interrogate her, siding with Cheyenne.
In that case, she could be heartless too.
What she couldn't have, Cheyenne wouldn't get either.
