He reached over to take the shaking Alice hands in his.“Good! Good question! First? First, we look for their informant and it has to be one of the workers in the mansion because the person knew you had a fight with her and she was going to act irrationally.

I mean he was in jail for crimes he committed against her and your family.” J

Lilly looked around in confusion, she wasn’t getting the understanding of what was stated. “I-I-I still don’t understand!”, Lilly exclaimed in denial.

Alexander paused for a bit to recollect what he had in mind. The memories kept flooding his mind like a natural disaster. He closed his eyes tightly as the memories became overpowering and the feeling overwhelming.“I grew up with George and Jane Li and during those days, Jane always talks about her favorite cousin called Amira but frequently calls her Mira just like their mother. She was a two years younger than Jane then but Jane won’t shut up about her. This Amira often came visiting too when school was on vacation. Then, I remember her as a shy nerdy girl who always wore glasses and can’t say a word to me without blushing. The last memory I have of her was when she had a fight with Jane over a supposed love letter she wrote me. I never got to see that letter and both girls settled that disagreement a long time ago. I-I have not been keeping tabs on the Li family for so long, I can’t talk about the current state of Jane’s relationship with her now nor where the Amira girl is right n
