Lydia paused for a second and said, “I’m fine.”
That was all it took for Cameron, Kylie, and Mr. Norwood to finally breathe again, relief washing over their faces.
“Lydia, thank goodness you’re alright. Please, be careful. Lucinda just told us that Leila tried to hire someone to kidnap you. Lydia, where are you? We can come get you.”
Lydia sounded almost amused. “Oh, really? Because I’m actually with Leila right now. Maybe you’d like to hear what she has to say?”
Suddenly, Leila’s voice burst through the phone, frantic and furious.
“Lucinda! Why did you lie to me?”
“I treated you like a sister. Was I just nothing to you?”
“You liar! You’re heartless! You used me!”
“Lucinda! I hate you! You fake!”
Lucinda’s face drained of color. Kylie and Cameron both turned to her, eyes wide.
“Lucinda, what is she talking about?”
“What did you lie to her about? How did you use her?”
Lucinda frantically shook her head, hands up in denial. “No, I didn’t! Dad, Mom, you have to believe me, she’s making this up!”
“Lucinda! You liar! I actually trusted you!” Leila kept screaming, every word like a slap.
