Vera Wave lowered her gaze, clenching her teeth.
"Kris Cooper, give it up. I won't change my statement."
After that, no matter what he said or how he pleaded, she just bit her lip and remained silent.
"Alright then, you like going to jail, don't you?" Kris Cooper stood up abruptly and bellowed, "I'll join you! I'll tell everyone right now that I killed Liliana Davis. I lured her there, I set the trap deliberately, I murdered her..."
"Kris Cooper!" Vera Wave called his name through gritted teeth, gradually lifting her face. "If you dare do this, I'll sever all ties with you!"
The man froze, his amber eyes staring at her incredulously.
"Say that again?"
Vera Wave avoided his gaze, merely lowering her eyes slightly.
"If you dare to do this, I'll... sever all ties with you."
"Great! Very good!" the man roared. "Sever all ties, is that it? Fine! Let's do it now! Let's sever them completely, right this instant!"
