Over the past two days, Scarlett had slept for less than two hours total. Her mind felt numb, and for a moment she didn't even process what Cassian was saying.
"I tortured Elowen?"
"You called the police and used a fake recording to get her detained." Cassian stepped back and sat down. "You even dragged Lucien into this just to put Elowen behind bars. How much do you hate her?"
Sleep deprivation made Scarlett's temples throb.
Irritation surged through her. "The police aren't idiots. They'll follow procedure and investigate. If Elowen didn't do it, they'll clear her name."
"Stop pretending. With our connections, how hard is it to ruin one person?" Cassian said bluntly. "Whether Elowen actually did it doesn't even matter anymore. You're just jealous of her."
