“In fact, I’d say everything has to do with you. And the connection is huge.”
Everyone was stunned, looking at me with confusion.
I pointed at Stella, who was hiding behind Mark, and announced loudly, “Because the real culprit is you, Stel- la!”
Stella, already flustered, became even more panicked at my words. She couldn’t hide the terror on her face.
“It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!” she blurted out, her face pale. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
I just sneered. “If it wasn’t you, then why are you so flustered?”
“The investigation isn’t even over yet. Everyone is waiting here. Why are you and Mark the only ones who can’t sit still and have to leave early?”
The livestream viewers finally caught on. Some sharp–eyed viewers rewound the livestream and noticed
Mark and Stella’s strange behavior.
“Wait! Since this whole thing started, those two have exchanged glances over a dozen times! That’s a lot!”
“If they weren’t guilty, who would look at each other that many times for no reason? They must be commun- icating something they can’t say out loud!”

Seeing the suspicious gazes turn on them, Mark lost his temper. “Melody, you better stop spewing nonsense, you jealous bitch!”

Before I could react, Ethan spoke up. “What do you mean, Melody is jealous?”
“If she was a jealous person, would she have spent a whole year of her busy senior year tutoring me?”
