That is the exact opposite of what happened when Leo absent mindedly said it out loud and everybody heard him. Another round of severed murmurs could be heard as everyone began talking among themselves about the police suspecting Alaina for it.
Alaina on the other hand was shell shocked to know that not only was Ariadne murdered but Alaina was being suspected for it. Alaina? How could they think like that, she didn't do anything she couldn't even kill a stray animal, let alone a person. This was absurd.
Alaina didn't register much of Leo was saying, something she heard were like, "How are you even thinking that, you need to have a proof for it! You can't just make a guess that it's her who done it." he was protesting loudly when Alaina spoke out in a quiet voice, "I- I didn't do it. I didn't kill her. Why do you think-" Alaina saw Ivar glaring at her before she felt Leo's hand applying pressure on her arm, signifying her to stop speaking.
