The Mystery Of Cora’s Confession

"Ms Spade, Miss Chadwick." A sharp call sliced through the tense atmosphere, interrupting their silent battle of wills. Both women turned to see the competition's director striding towards them, her expression serious.

"Ladies," the director said, her voice crisp and professional, "could you please come with me? There has been a…development I need to discuss with you in private."

Lyse and Brooke exchanged a wary glance before following the director to her office. Inside, a police officer stood waiting, his presence adding a layer of gravity to the already tense situation.

Lyse felt a surge of relief. She had been waiting for this moment, anticipating Cora's confession, the exposure of Brooke's treachery. She was confident that Cora, now conscious, would finally reveal the truth about why she had done what she did.

"Good morning, Officer," Lyse greeted the policeman, her voice calm and composed.
