If you do the math, it's obvious Ezra cheated on his wife. As for his first wife... the official story is that she died of depression, which makes it all the more suspicious.
"So, what's your plan?" Shanley asked in a low voice. "Do you need my help?"
"Help?" Juniper's eyebrows arched slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. "If I wanted to kill someone, would you help with that too?"
"Of course," Shanley answered without hesitation. "You kill, I'll hand you the knife."
Juniper studied him; he didn't look like he was joking.
"Tch," Juniper scoffed, turning her head away. "If I really wanted to kill someone," she said nonchalantly, "I wouldn't need you to hand me a knife."
She wouldn't need a knife at all.
Shanley's eyes narrowed at her arrogant words, the smile fading from his face. Did she do this sort of thing often? She was so young, an age where she should be cherished by her family. Yet she'd been through so much...
"I'm serious," Shanley said, his tone heavy. He put down the plate of cherries and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Just say the word, and the Wilcox family will disappear from Eclara City by tonight."
A warm feeling spread through Juniper's chest.
"Not yet," she refused. "Saskia and Janet have suffered for years, bearing so much slander and injustice. They deserve to have their names cleared and get the justice they're owed."
Just making them disappear... would be letting them off too easy. Besides, Janet was still in school, and Saskia hadn't fully recovered. A big commotion now would only hurt them the most. She would wait. A month, at most.
