Flora's POV:
Shocked and caught off-guard, I stammered, "What do you mean?"
How could Crystal's photos still be in my Facebook? After what happened that year, Laura had done everything in her power to ensure that no trace of Sylvia Todd would ever exist again. Also, I doublechecked it, so there was no way Rufus would find out about it.
Besides, I seldom posted her photos since she didn't like too much attention even on the Internet.
Was Rufus bluffing? Could it be that he was just trying to pull a fast one on me?
"I mean you have known Crystal five years ago. You are lying!" Rufus said coldly.
As panic gripped my heart, I trembled internally. If Rufus got mad, not even the dead would feel safe.
"Tell me, how did you know Crystal?" Rufus persisted in asking.
I forced myself to answer, "We had only recently met in the capital city this time she came here."
I was so nervous but did my best to reassure myself that Rufus was just making things up. If he had any other evidence, he would have already shown it instead of asking this same question over and over again.
The only reasonable explanation for Rufus' line of questions was that he was also not sure about my relationship with Crystal and wanted to intimidate me into admitting it.
While I was mulling over the possibility, Rufus suddenly presented me with a screenshot proof. It was the photo I took when Crystal was trying on the dress that Rufus had given her for a ball.
The photo was so beautiful that I was so excited and posted it online, but after seeing the huge sensation it had later caused, I swiftly took it down.
Maybe it was because I deleted it by myself and it was not removed thoroughly, which explained why Rufus had no trouble restoring it.
For a brief second, I was terrified, but then I noticed that Crystal's face wasn't visible in this picture. Since she had her back to the moon, all that was visible was the side of her face.
