Karma Doesn’t Sleep The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 553

“I know him. That’s Felix Baker, the son of the Baker family. He’s not a bad guy,” Amelia said.

Donna’s eyes widened. Of course she knew the Bakers.

“That’s wild,” she said, sounding genuinely surprised. “I never thought Jinx would be mixed up with the Bakers. Jinx even called him ‘uncle’!”

“Wait, you’re saying Jinx knows Felix?” For once, Amelia was caught off guard. She glanced at Jinx, her curiosity piqued.

She’d once asked their homeroom teacher, Ms. Arnold, about Jinx’s background, but Ms. Arnold had just said Jinx was a poor kid with a tough life, and wouldn’t say any more. But honestly, kids who could afford this posh private school weren’t exactly struggling.

Still, Amelia never would’ve guessed Jinx had any kind of connection to Felix.

She didn’t get a chance to ask about it, though. There was a knock at the door.

A uniformed officer stepped in. It was Shane.

“Ms. Sadinton,” he greeted.

Jinx recognized him right away and greeted him politely. “Hello, Officer.”

Shane smiled back at her, warm and friendly. “Hey there. Looks like we keep running into each other, huh?”

Amelia turned to Donna. “Donna, could you take Jinx home for me? And bring Timmy too. I need to talk to Shane alone for a minute.”

“I wanna stay,” Timmy piped up, lifting his hand like he was in class. “Mom, can I hang out with you?”

Amelia reached out and gently cupped his cheek. “Be good, Timmy. I’m totally safe here. If you stay, I’ll get distracted and won’t be able to help Officer Shane with his questions. The faster I help, the sooner the bad guys get caught, right?”

Timmy thought about it, then bargained, “If I go, can I skip school tomorrow and spend the whole day with you? I swear I won’t miss any homework!”

Her daughter probably took after Clive.

“Shane, Levi didn’t kidnap me just for revenge,” she said quietly. “Someone was behind it. Levi admitted it himself—it was Bianca and her daughter, Kristen…”

“Ms. Sadinton, try to stay calm.” Shane’s voice was steady and comforting as he tried to soothe her. “About two hours before you woke up, Bianca turned herself in.”

Amelia blinked, stunned. “She confessed?”

Shane nodded. “Yeah. She admitted she paid Levi a ton of money to come back to Alson Creek and kill you. She gave us everything—call logs, wire transfers, even Levi’s hideout. She didn’t hold anything back.”

Suddenly, it all made sense to Amelia.

Bianca was trying to take the blame for everything to protect Kristen.
