As I rounded the corner, trying to catch Zayn to remind him about Candy's tea, I found him in a tense conversation over the phone. His voice is low but fraught with emotion.
"Mom, this has gone too far."
He was saying, his tone a mix of disbelief and accusation.
"I can't ignore the evidence any longer. How could you possibly think of sabotaging Candy? Yes, she's been through a lot, but framing her? For something as grave as this? I know you've never liked Kattie, and by extension, anyone close to her, but to stoop to this level... What were you thinking? We need to fix this, now, before it's too late. She's innocent, and you know it. We're supposed to be a family, not enemies plotting downfall."
