Savannah seemed to be extremely worried throughout the meal. After the meal, the sisters gathered in the garden at the back. When Savannah walked into the garden, the lively atmosphere quietened down at once.
Savannah knew that the other sisters disliked her. She did not mingle well with them and stood alone in the distance as tears slid down her face.
Just then, she heard Lil Ten's enraged voice, "Hmph, is she pretending to be pitiful just to gain our sympathy? If it weren't for her, Jens wouldn't be locked in the secret room. I heard that Daddy scolded him severely as well. He gave him a good beating as well."
She was criticizing Savannah indirectly.
Savannah walked over angrily and said in an infuriated tone, "I’m a victim in yesterday’s incident as well. Why won't you guys believe me?"
Lil Ten burst out into laughter and questioned, "You're a victim? Savannah Jones, do you mean that Jens was together with you willingly? Do you think that we'll believe you? Jens only loves Sis Whitty Everyone knows that."
Savannah gritted her teeth and said, "I know that I practice black magic. All of you think that I cast a spell on Jens last night. However, I swear to God that I didn't cast any spells last night. If I lie to you guys, I'll be struck by lightning."
The deadly oath that she made caused all the sisters to change their minds at once. The sisters looked at each other. There were shocked expressions on their faces.
"Savannah Jones, if it wasn't you, who else in Tourmaline Estate is capable of casting a spell on Jens?" Rosie asked angrily.
Savannah said, "That's all I can say. It's up to you guys whether you choose to believe me or not. However, Tourmaline Estate has existed for a century. There are a lot of secrets within the estate that we don't know about. Such beings might exist although you guys don’t know about them."
Just then, Baby Robbie walked over. When Baby Robbie heard Savannah’s oath, he said quietly, "Sisters, please don't come up with any conclusions before we find out the truth. Daddy has put Jens in charge of this. Before Jens comes out of the secret room, he'll definitely give us a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, my daddy won’t let him out."
