If you have evidence, by all means, hand it over to the police." Jean didn't want to be threatened, but Jessie's words hit a sore spot. She had kept that incident well hidden, and no third party should've known about it. How did Jessie find out? Noticing Jean's composed demeanor, Jessie scanned her up and down. "Jeanie, you don't need to pretend to be calm. I know you did it. You've hated Nadine for a long time.
"Don't worry. We're family, after all. I won't expose you. As long as you get Harry out, I'll take this secret to my grave. However, if you don't help, I'll go straight to Brad and tell him everything." Jessie feigned indifference as she walked toward the door, though her pace was noticeably slower than usual. When she turned away from Jean, her eyes were filled with certainty.
"Wait, Aunt Jessie!" Upon hearing Jean call out, Jessie stopped and turned to her. "What? Are you willing to help now?"

She approached the bed and grabbed Jean's hand with enthusiasm. "It'll get done as long as you ask. I believe in you. Just mention it fo Brad. Don't worry. I'll keep that secret."

"It'll work out as long as Brad intervenes. I'll wait for your good news then. Take care and rest up. I'll get going." Watching Jessie's retreating figure, Jean clenched her fists. She wasn't sure where she had slipped up to end up in such a mess. For now, she needed to keep Jessie pacified while she figured out another solution.
