    Charlotte sighed and remarked, "Hmm, the case may be resolved by then."

Jane crossed her arms and stated, "You first; I shall disclose my secret after you reveal yours." "Why?" Susan queried. "Because I asked first," Jane responded. "Very well, I shall begin. If you must know, I am not concealing any secret; he is merely someone I assisted some time ago, and he opted to repay the favour by standing as a witness for my boyfriend, who happens to be your brother," Susan explained. "Really!" Jane exclaimed. "Indeed," Susan confirmed. "Please, el
