I stepped away from Lamar so he could be uncuffed. Jenny’s confession had made my heart drop into my stomach. I felt Lamar’s body heating up too. It wouldn’t be easy for him to hear what Rayden had done to her.

And it showed in his eyes.

"Huh?" Mores had the nerve to get up and try to reach her when Penn stepped in his way and slapped him.

That slap was so satisfying.

"Your son escaped, but I won’t let you put your hands on my sister," Penn yelled, his rage coming from many reasons.

I hadn’t been able to look at anyone because I didn’t want to see the pity in their eyes.

But I was grateful they were standing up for me.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" Jenny smiled, but there was so much pain hidden behind her teary eyes. "I got rid of the biggest disease ever. The disease was spreading—and I feel responsible for it. If I had stopped him earlier, my friend and Evaline wouldn’t have become his victims. But I was such a coward—" she was breathing with difficulty, so I rushed through the crowd and hugged her tight.

It was as if her breath returned when my arms wrapped around her. I didn’t know she wasn’t expecting me to come for her like that.

"I killed him so he couldn’t hurt you anymore," she whispered, hugging me back.

That truly meant so much to me.

I broke the hug because she was still talking to Mores, and strangely enough, he had more to say.

"Well—I will make sure you rot in prison for your crime of murder because there is no proof against my son, but there is your confession against him." At this point, he was the only one on his side. I noticed the brothers had gone silent, almost like their energy had drained. But I was afraid of the silent storm brewing in them. Their veins were constantly popping, and the way Norman was cracking his knuckles was terrifying.

"Oh! I forgot the evidence. I have a gift for you," Jenny shocked me even more when she made it clear that she had more to use against him.

She began to play a video. And right off the bat, the video started with a terrifying sight. It was Rayden crying on the ground while I walked away. Jenny was hiding behind a tree and recording it.

But by then, Jenny had turned to me while Lamar was still frozen in place.

"That night when Lucy fell, I couldn’t sleep either. I decided to get some fresh air when I saw you heading toward the library. I followed you and heard everything. I was so shattered and angry at myself that I decided to be a part of it without involving you two. I knew you’d both get detained and abuse, but—huh! My father—he would only show up if it was me on the receiving end of some punishment. I never chose Rayden because I loved him. I had to stay close to him to keep an eye on him and also... to avoid getting abused—" she quickly lowered her head, but it all made sense to me.

"I am so sorry. I could have stopped it sooner," she broke down, but I quickly pulled her into a hug.

She wasn’t at fault. She was a victim, and he had been blackmailing and threatening her the whole time.

As we hugged, she whispered in my ear, "We’ll find those other assholes together. You’re not alone anymore."

It made me feel so much better to have another friend who knew the truth and was on my side.

"Jenny." Lamar stepped forward, finally snapping out of his frozen state. Without saying a word, he pulled her into a hug, holding her like he was shielding her from any harm.

I stood beside them with a broken smile on my face until I raised my head and saw the brothers watching me, their eyes full of empathy.
