บท 92: Where's the Money?

"I don't understand." Ava didn't even blink. She met Matthew's eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Ava? I can literally feel that you are lying." Matthew's lips were thinned into a straight line.

Until now, she couldn't hold the candle steady for a minute.

She's failing at it.

And she couldn't understand why.

"I can," Matthew wiped his sweat and sat opposite her in a lotus position. "And I also understand why you are trying to hide it."

"Do you?" Ava asked. If he did then…

"So, I am not forcing you to tell me anything."

Ava felt her throat become drier. Why does she feel guilty?
