章節 272: Black to White

I wasn't sure what Diana told them or what she had done, but nothing seemed to have moved forward during that week. Although no new evidence was found and no progress was made on the case, the press continued to cover the story non-stop. I wondered if our entire family would be under investigation or if we had to go to court. My parents were always stressed and on edge, and I would be lying if I said that their anxiety we're not getting to me. Diana seemed to be the most calm out of all of us, and it made me feel that she knew something that we all did not.

“Will Dad end up in prison?” I asked her one evening while we were alone.

“Is that what you wish for?” Diana asked with a teasing smile.

“It doesn't matter what I wish for. I simply want to know what is going to happen,” I replied to her honestly.

“This might be disappointing to you, but I don't think anything significant is going to happen to our family,” Diana replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
