Luna Sarah and the women around her immediately turned toward the guest who had caused the commotion.
"The Alpha Green family has committed a grave mistake."
Her words only deepened the confusion. But another woman, also holding a newspaper, nodded in agreement.
My chest tightened, as if something invisible had wrapped around it. What was happening?
I quickly picked up a newspaper from the table. The bold headline on the front page read:
"Alpha Green Executed an Innocent Girl!"
The very first word of the article made my breathing turn heavy.
'Clarissa…'
Why was that name appearing again? She should have been dead three years ago. She should have disappeared from my life completely.
"Shannon, you testified back then that she committed those crimes, didn't you? So you lied?"
The accusation struck like a blade.
I turned to find Tessa stood there, her expression filled with disgust.
Beside her, Mira looked at me with open contempt.
