Lisa stood outside the door, her heart pounding in her chest, apprehension gnawing at her insides. With a sudden burst of courage, she swung the door open, the hinges creaking in protest. The room was dimly lit, casting a soft glow over the figures of Sam and Jessica, peacefully slumbering in their beds. Relief washed over her, mingled with a twist of embarrassment. How could she have let a mere threat from Bryan affect her so profoundly?As she stood in the doorway, the weight of her fear lifting, Lisa felt a surge of conflicting emotions. Anger at herself for being so easily manipulated, confusion at her own vulnerability, and a touch of shame for allowing Bryan's words to infiltrate her sense of security.

"Why don't we check the CCTV camera, we shouldn't argue about this?" he suggested. Jessica was taken aback by his audacity. How could he propose such a ludicrous idea when they were the ones responsible for the situation in the first place? It seemed nonsensical that he would propose investigating the CCTV system when it would only incriminate them further. His suggestion added a layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere, leaving Jessica wondering if he truly believed his own words or if he was simply trying to divert attention away from their misdeeds."I think that's a better Idea," Grandma Creston said, her voice filled with certainty.

The elderly matriarch of the household, Grandma Creston, fixed her with a piercing gaze that seemed to demand an explanation. "What did you say?" the grandmother inquired, her voice heavy with concern.The maid hesitated, her hands twisting nervously in front of her. "I am sorry, Grandma," she finally whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. "I did that out of anger.

Tears welled up in her eyes, glistening as they spilled down her cheeks, a silent testimony to the turmoil within her.As her confession hung in the air, a heavy silence descended upon the room, punctuated only by the occasional sniffle from the maid.

Bryan scratched the back of his head in contemplation before addressing the situation at hand. "That's like an easy target, and a plausible reason to want to frame her. Besides, she has been attempting to quit, but Lisa has withheld payment since hiring her," he elaborated, shedding light on the circumstances that led to the predicament.
