Chapter 139

Yep, I could've confronted Isabella about the library book and her overdue bills, but I didn't want to do that in front of Boxy. Besides, other than a missing Made You Read earring that could've belonged to anyone, I didn't exactly have proof she murdered Mr. Seymour. I wanted to be wrong about her, especially for Boxy's sake, but four questions rooted into my mind and sprouted a lovely question mark plant.

1. What did it mean that Isabella never answered me when I asked about her and Mr. Seymour's relationship?

2. Who was in the corvette that followed Isabella home?

3. Who was the camouflage polo person who tried to break into her house?

4. On a scale of one to beehive, just how much danger was Isabella in if she wasn't the murderer?

5. What, if anything, did Boxy's Eye Shadow amulet have to do with any of this?

6. Where was Detective Palmer?

Only time, and more clues, would tell.
