She reached out and grabbed his collar, thrusting it towards him accusingly. "What's this?" Edgar's mind flashed back to Debra's calculated lean-in, her smirk as she left him in the car. He'd been played. She'd wanted Shelia to see this, to sow discord.
His hesitation was all Shelia needed. "You're unbelievable. You say you love me, but you won't even touch me. It's all a lie, isn't it? I knew you were cheating." "Jade, just listen..." "No. I won't listen!" she screamed. "I'm telling my dad. You don't love me. It's all just a sham." Usually, her tantrums got her what she wanted, but not this time.

"I-I just wanted to teach Debra a lesson," she stammered, clinging to his leg desperately. XPlease, don't tell Declan Blair. If he finds out I'm not Jade, he'll sendback to prison."
Edgar looked down at her, his expression icy. "You should be m scared. Because if you keep pushing your luck, you might just end up like the real Jade." Shelia's blood ran cold. She remembered the prisoner who'd asked her to contact Declan.
Suddenly, the pieces clicked into place.
"You mean, you killed her?” she whispered, horror-struck.
