"I know nothing. I didn't have anything to do with it," Isabella said firmly. She had decided to pretend to know nothing about Kristina's death. She knew that her mother would protect her no matter what.
Glenn also pretended to be innocent. "My daughter says she doesn't know anything. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
John had seen a lot of people try to play the ostrich. He said calmly, "Save your explanation for the police."
"The police? What..." Glenn's legs went limp.
Noah together and several police officers were approaching.
Amelia panicked and whispered in Isabella's ear, "What happened?"
"I don't know, Mom. I wasn't there." Holding her mother tightly, Isabella repeated what she had said nervously as if she was trying to convince herself that she was not guilty.

"No law clearly states that inciting someone to commit suicide is illegal. And if Isabella is truly mentally ill, it's very unlikely that she'll be convicted." Clenching his fists, Tom looked at Glenn and his family indignantly.
Nina hissed, "Do we have to let her go then?"
She was unwilling to let Isabella go.
And Noah was more willing than her.
