"That's enough, Jiali. We're no longer kids, and you shouldn't say things like that." Eddie was trying to smooth things over.
However, El successfully triggered Jiali, and she scoffed, "Why? He could threaten me with my project that I've worked on for thirty years and my son! Why can't I say anything about him?
"Eddie, I can swear to god that I did not kill Jiamo, and if you weren't the one, why can't it be El?"
This was enough to put a pause to the conversation.
This was because El's cold aura made it impossible for Eddie to say anything else.
Jiali, who was like a wounded lioness, screamed in rage, "You loved her, but Jiamo brought home a man who was useless. He had nothing, no family, and no money, but he managed to get Jiamo's love. You were envious of them and decided to kill them for good."
Suddenly, Jiali felt a tight grip around her neck.
Her eyes were opened wide as she tried to shake El off.
