Along the way here, Finn Taylor and his wife had already envisioned this happening. This was why they had already taught Linda James how to respond.
As such, Linda James replied, "Mom, you're maligning me. I've been in Los Angeles for an entire week. I was staying in Henry's house, but he chased my whole family out. Our family is now homeless, and we've been looking for somewhere to stay. Oh right, Mom. I've been trying to get hold of you. Why didn't you answer my calls?"
With that, Linda James whipped out her phone and made a call to Lucy Williams. Yet, the latter's phone didn't ring.
Even Lucy Williams thought that it was strange.
Yvette Larson snatched it over and asked, "Grandma, why isn't there a SIM card in your phone? Who has touched your phone?"
Hearing that, Lucy Williams's gaze turned to Karine James.
