Punished Together

Gill continued, "Esther, everything has been clear. The wedding dress was indeed destroyed by someone. Don't try to defend yourself anymore."

"But I never did it." Esther raised three fingers and said, "I swear I really didn't."

"But we can see the truth here." Anne pointed angrily at the broken wedding dress in front of her.

"Even if the dress was deliberately destroyed, you can't say it was me." Esther rebutted. "It looked complete when I gave it to you. And you had tried it on, right?"

"You mean that I destroyed the wedding dress and made a fool of myself?"

"I..." Esther failed to fight back.

Anne continued, "Besides, it was destroyed in an almost invisible part. So even if I tried it on, I can't find what was wrong with it."

Esther was speechless by Anne's aggressive words. She was anxious and angry for a while, but Esther sneered, "What? You can't find an excuse? Then just admit it."

"I will never admit something I have never done," Esther said angrily.
