Seeing Betsy Russell still mocking her, Isa Hughes said indignantly, "That night, only you were there. If it wasn't you, then who else would have spread the news about my rejected confession?"
As Isa spoke to this point, she became more annoyed, "I've apologized to you for the past and admitted my mistakes. I don't want any more involvement with you. You were the one who provoked me first!"
This time, Betsy Russell was prepared for Isa Hughes's questioning. She responded calmly, "Miss Hughes, even if you want revenge, you should check your facts first. You'd better ask your good friends!"
After learning that the news of Isa Hughes's rejected confession had gone public, Betsy Russell immediately launched an investigation.
In reality, she had little interest in Isa Hughes's private life, but someone clearly wanted to make her take the blame for this incident.
