The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2252

The angrier Kael grew, the calmer Thalia became.

With her life literally in her own hands, no matter how much the man taunted her, she acted as if she hadn't heard a thing.

Holding on until the director arrived with help was all she had to do to win this silent battle.

After finding Balfour, Margot stopped crying altogether. She wiped her tears away and followed Balfour and the others in search of Thalia.

Noticing Margot's change of demeanor, Balfour's impatience slightly subsided.

Had she continued sobbing, he might have to instruct her to stay in place. What good would she be if she only cried?

If Margot truly wanted to save her friend, she needed to get her act together and join them in a meticulous search.

It would be an added bonus if they could find evidence of the culprits on the first go!

"Did anyone check her dressing room?" he asked.

Colton felt awkward.

They hadn't considered Diana to be a suspect, so why would they have searched her dressing room for evidence?

Their silence spoke volumes, and Balfour didn't press further; he'd expected as much.

Margot, regaining her composure, said, "I noticed something was off with Thalia right after she came from Diana's dressing room. But Thalia never actually went inside; she just stood at the entrance. I remember now! It was you, director, who asked her to go fetch Diana."

Colton grew pale at the thought that his oversight could cost a life.
