When I first learned Alice was arrested, my world just fell apart,” she said, “The cops said she attempted murder because of jealousy. They told me she was in love with Mr. Shane from the Thompson Group, but that’s impossible because…”

Lucinda choked for a bit and explained, “Because my daughter is in love with a lad from the Wangton family. Why would she attempt to kill you when she’s not in love with Mr. Shane? But she told me not to appeal, and that’s how she went to jail.”
