Jade paused for a moment to captivate her audience, "I was already looking into it. Your father did not take his life. He was murdered. And your mother was involved," Jade said, and Lisa's cutleries slipped from her fingers as it crashed on the floor, while Tiffany and Bernice looked at her, their faces mirroring stunned surprise.
Although they had been suspicious that their mother had a hand in it, hearing it this way was very shocking. Hearing that their father had not taken his life as they had thought this whole time but had actually been murdered, was heartbreaking.
"What?" Lisa asked as tears gathered in her eyes, ready to fall.
"You heard me. And I think you need to know that your mother made an attempt on my life yesterday because she suspected I was looking into your father's death," Jade said, and their eyes rounded in horror and disbelief.
