"I... I have no idea what you're saying!"
It was clear Whitney had come to confront her about Elaine, causing Endora to clutch at her shirt.
She silently stepped back, hastily trying to reach for the interrogation room door.
Whitney forcefully pushed her down to sit, her tone turning icy cold, "You've been colluding with her! What kind of pie in the sky did she promise you to take the fall?
Endora, how could you be so naive? You're going to end up behind bars just the same, she's not going to save you, she'll just go scot-free.
She gave you all these bright ideas, and look where it's gotten you! What kind of spell did she cast on you to let the most venomous woman off the hook?"
Her fury was almost piercing through Endora's gaze.
The woman gripped the edge of the handcuffs tightly, her fingertips twisting in agitation. Whitney's presence was overpowering, causing Endora to involuntarily shrink back.
By law, Whitney couldn't touch her, so she bit back her anger, lowering her voice, "Once Elaine gets out, she'll be living the high life, while you rot in jail for taking the blame. If I were you, I'd never let the instigator get away with it!
Get up, go out there and change your testimony. If you're going down, you should drag Elaine down with you!"
Endora's pupils dilated, her teeth clenched tight.
Whitney, noticing the fear flickering in her eyes, subtly reached into her pocket for the voice recorder.
She wanted to trap Endora into confessing!
If Endora admitted to taking the blame, even revealing a shred of truth, Whitney could have Elaine thrown back in jail, with no chance of redemption!
And expose Ashton's blindness, to finally see Elaine for who she truly is!
"Speak up. Are you ready to take all the blame and serve an extra decade or more in prison unknowingly? What did Elaine promise you?" Whitney pressed on relentlessly.
Endora's gaze flickered.
She had her doubts when deciding to make a deal with Elaine.
