Erica slowly sat up, lightly touching her stiff cheeks, "Why bring up Jennifer all of a sudden?"
Rosalynn looked at her, not speaking.
Erica stared back at her for a few seconds, then she suddenly widened her eyes, "Did Jennifer kill Frederic?"
"I have my suspicions," Rosalynn lowered her gaze, "Not just Frederic, but also two accomplices. About the same time, they were murdered too. A figure was caught on camera near the scene, her face concealed, but her height and build...they're strikingly similar to Jennifer's."
"Two more people?" Erica gasped, hand over mouth.
Images of Jennifer flashed in her mind, one after another.
Like most people, Erica's first thought was, could she really do it?
Did she not only kill Frederic but also two other people?
"Frederic was drugged first, then dumped in the lotus pond. The other two, young men, were part of the Scott family's security team. They died of cyanide poisoning," Rosalynn clarified, "Actually, it wouldn’t take much strength. All she had to do was tricking them into taking the poison."
"What the hell was she thinking? Has she lost her mind?" Erica was astounded.
"She disappeared, and I've been worried sick she'd risk it all for revenge against Paige…" Rosalynn said, "But those paparazzi said she hadn't been hanging around the rehab center recently. Instead, she infiltrated the Scott family and killed a butler who had nothing to do with her."
Rosalynn frowned, baffled by the logic.
"Could she have been targeting Luna ?" Erica spoke in a hushed tone, "Besides, saying Frederic and Jennifer were not related is not entirely accurate. I heard when her family visited, Frederic was particularly upset and disrespectful."
Rosalynn pursed her lips, not uttering a word.
"Whoever she was after, her actions have raised the alarm. She can't retaliate against anyone now," Erica continued, "She can only wait to be arrested."
Rosalynn nodded, glancing at the time.
"Let's head back for now. We'll swing by later with Cory and Ivy and see Paige."
"Okay."
A heavy rain had passed.
The weather was gloomy today, but refreshingly cool.
Perfect weather for a nap. On her way home, Erica yawned continuously.
From the car, she could see the riverbank where the kids usually played.
"Look at this, overnight rain flooded the riverbank," Erica mumbled to herself.
Rosalynn glanced over, "If it rained this hard a few days ago, those kids wouldn't have a place to play."
"They'd still find somewhere to play if they wanted to."
Erica yawned again, pointing out a few small figures in the distance, "Aren't those kids playing with a dog?"
"Kids?" On hearing Erica's words, Rosalynn immediately looked towards the riverbank.
Due to the distance, all she could see were tiny silhouettes and a golden dog.
"One, two, three, four, five..." Erica started counting the little figures.
"Take a left towards the riverbank!" Rosalynn suddenly ordered the driver in a steady tone.
