GoodNovelChapter 2439 Both women appeared preoccupied, Katelyn, however, was quietly scheming, searching for a way to determine if Lindsays paralysis was genuine.
Suddenly, inspiration hit her.
Holding a bowl of hot soup, she pretended to stumble, spilling the scalding liquid toward Lindsays legs.
Lindsay let out a sharp, instinctive cry, momentarily forgetting her supposed condition.
She sprang from her wheelchair, yelling angrily, You idiot! How could you be so clumsy? As her eyes locked onto Katelyns astonished expression, realization dawned-she had just given herself away.

Realizing the danger, Katelyn grew more desperate.
She stammered, promise... Miss Wheeler, I wont tell anyone! You can trust me! Lindsays tense demeanor softened slightly, a faint smile curving her lips.

Before she could utter a single word, she crumpled to the floor, floor,motionless Standing over her while looking down, Lindsay laughed, the sound dark and hollow. Only the dead can keep secrets.
Lindsay stared at the blood slowly spreading around Katelyns head, her expression void of any emotion or remorse. Calmly, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
Her tone was icy as she spoke.
Ive found a way to clear Stellas name, but I need you to handle this for me.
Immediately.
The person on the other end agreed without hesitation.
