"More than once?" Lucy Candler immediately asked, "Mom, what exactly is going on?"
"Actually, I've long wanted to tell Julian about this, but I've never had the chance..."
Ruth Upperton sighed heavily and said apologetically, "Ah... It's still my fault. I owe Julian an apology, and I also owe... Isabella Lindsey an apology."
Her tone sounded sincere and not dismissive.
There was unusual sincerity.
To the others listening, it was even more surprising; has this old lady truly changed after her illness?
Does she now know right from wrong?
They heard Ruth Upperton continue to explain, "Last time, I declared Isabella Lindsey a murderer, but it was actually a trap set by Bertha Marley."
"What?! So it was her causing trouble!"
Lucy Candler recalled that scene; she was present too, but never thought the backer behind the murderer would be Bertha Marley!
