Their murmuring filled the air, turning it even heavier with pressure, Standing a little away, Demian gritted his teeth.
The sting of humiliation still burned on his skin, he looked around and saw how everyone had quickly turned their focus back on Jerry, now questioning him like he was the villain.
Seeing an opportunity to regain his face, Demian straightened up and forced a smirk.
Without wasting any more time, he managed to gather himself and spoke loudly, "I agree with what Owen just said. Jerry should also prove that he was actually the one who did it. If not..." Damien paused, letting his words sink in, "...their bet would not stand."
At that moment, Abigail stood frozen, her heart pounding heavily inside her chest.
She didn't even know what she was supposed to say or do anymore.
Confusion filled her entire mind like a storm.
She had thought it was Demian who pulled the strings behind her success.
That was what made sense to her.
