Sweet Love
Jessica and Loren were startled by the dare Zed gave.
He was asking the investigators to frame him and even called them dumb idiots?!
What truly shocked them further was how silent Athol and the investigators had become.
Athol and the investigators didn't do anything to stop Zed as he left the room. They had prepared an elaborate plan to frame him, but now they no longer dared to follow it.
"From the very start, he played us!" Percy's mother whispered.
She now realized Zed intentionally provoked Athol to record his activities. If the video were shared, it would cause irrevocable damage to Athol and them.
"That's not the worst part!" Edgar's father said with a deep frown. "He wasn't relying on the video when he dared us to frame him!"
"Yes!" Percy's mother nodded her head.
She was sure Zed had a powerful card in his hand. Only that would explain why he discarded the video as a childish trick!
