With Lillian's dismissal, the others had no choice but to leave.
Martin and Sabrina helped each other up, their knees screaming in pain from the prolonged kneeling. The humiliation tasted like ash in their mouths.
But they were halfway through their penance; they couldn't give up now.
Besides, if Lillian wasn't satisfied and refused to return to the Mercer family, they would be the ones suffering the most.
Martin swallowed his resentment, forcing a strained expression.
Once the room was clear, Lillian gestured for Dr. Celine to approach.
Without waiting for a formal report, she demanded, "What are the results of the DNA comparison?"
Dr. Celine handed over two folders. "The DNA from the two samples is a perfect match."
Lillian's heart skipped a beat. Her hunch had been spot on—it really was Debbie Harris.
Dr. Celine continued explaining the scientific nuances, but Lillian had stopped listening.
The pieces were falling into place. Bella's clothes had been soaked in Debbie's blood.
It was exactly what she had hoped for.
The rabid dogs were finally turning on each other.
And they had drawn blood—a lot of it.
This was getting highly entertaining.
The night before, while analyzing the blood splatter, Dr. Celine had theorized it came from severed appendages, likely fingers.
Noah's hysterical outburst earlier today suddenly took on a much darker meaning.
Something horrific had happened. Noah couldn't possibly know the details, but he had definitely seen something incriminating.
Sometimes, a child's unfiltered terror was the most reliable witness.
So, did Sebastian know what happened to Debbie?
