Paige looked at Layla, her arms crossed, boldly examining Layla. Paige’s makeup was heavy, and her bright red lips curled into a smile.

Paige said, “Get inside How about a cup of coffee first?”

Layla didn’t open the door. She made sure she was under the surveillance camera, pursed her lips, and asked, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“Do you know we spent hundreds of thousands on my son’s surgery? My son almost didn’t survive.”

Paige waved her hand impatiently, frowning at Layla, and said, “Wait, wait. I don’t want to talk about what happened. It’s useless, and you don’t have any evidence. My nephew was killed, wasn’t he?

“And where’s the proof that my nephew almost killed your son show it to me. Don’t just talk nonsense without any evidence?
