The man casually lifted his hand to pour a cup of tea, his slender fingers gripping a fine porcelain teacup. With a calm demeanor, he handed it to Susan. "My nis Aaron." Aaron? She hadn't heard that nbefore.
Her eyes studied the stranger in front of her. "You said you have a grudge against Casper? Is it really because he stole your girlfriend? Or is there..." Something she didn't know about. But honestly, she wasn't all that interested. Their meeting was a fluke. He had no reason to help her out of the blue. There had to be another motive-helping her had to benefit him too.

Susan wasn't the typical, shallow woman. She was, in fact, a bit sharper than Eliza.
Setting down the teacup gently, he looked at her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "You ctobecause of Casper? What do you need my help with?" "There's a tricky situation, but I don't want to kill or harm anyone," she said directly. "You were into Casper's ex- wife, right?

His eyes behind his glasses turned inscrutable. "If you don't want to kill or harm, that's going to be tough." "I don't want to harm anyone, but..."

Casper had survived a fall from a cliff, and Eliza handed recordings to the police. The evidence was solid. He should have been sentenced heavily.
