Kevin and Daisy's argument

"Is Juliet really the one who did this? But why?" Daisy voiced, her brow furrowed, searching the faces around her.

"That can't be true," Kevin said firmly, stepping forward. His voice held a conviction that was unwavering.

Daisy looked at him sceptically, her voice low but intense. "Why are you so quick to defend her, Kevin? She was the only one who entered the outhouse—do you really think this is a coincidence?"

Kevin shook his head, looking straight at Daisy. "I've known Juliet my whole life, Daisy. She's terrified of blood. Hurting Charlie? It's unthinkable. She might be arrogant but would never harm a soul, let alone an innocent animal."

At that moment, a maid entered, carefully carrying Charlie's lifeless body in a small basket, the once vibrant dog now lying in a dark pool of blood. Cameron's throat tightened at the sight. His entire body ached with the loss, and he struggled to keep his composure, even as a tear slipped down his face.
