Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she stared at Holden and said, "Someone's framing me. Someone tampered with these records. I don't know any Helen, I swear!"

As Sadie nervously rambled on, Holden sat beside her, smoking and patiently listening to her.

The more she talked, the colder Sadie felt.

When Sadie stopped, Holden extinguished his cigarette and asked calmly, "Did Zayden call you before the car crash? After leaving Eleymond, where did he go? Has he been in touch with you?"

Sadie was so nervous that she could hardly speak. Holden gave her a quick look and said calmly, "He's my cousin, remember? I can overlook your past with Zayden."
