"Looks like you're trying to sleuth harder than a catfish on a dating app, huh?
grinning wickedly "Why, darling, this is no ordinary poison. It's a rare and potent substance, one that can cause even the strongest man to weaken and succumb to its effects.
raises an eyebrow "Sweetie, I'm always serious when it comes to a good story. Now, watch closely as I reveal the final twist.
takes out a newspaper clipping "Now, listen carefully, darling. The day after Mr. Johnson's death, there was a mysterious letter sent to the police.
As Penelope reads the letter, she realizes it's signed with the initials 'V.V.', the same as the woman in the photos. Jessica smirks, revealing Vanessa's involvement in the plot.
V.V.? Vanessa Vista. No... Vanessa Vaughn. I gasp
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, darling. Looks like we've got ourselves a murderer. And guess who was behind it all?
Vanessa Vaughn... It can't be. She was my close friend.
leans in closer, whispering "Oh, honey, don't let appearances fool you. Vanessa was always hiding behind a mask of innocence.
grinning slyly "Now, darling, let's put all the pieces together. Vanessa seduced Mr. Johnson's son, poisoned him with this rare substance, and then orchestrated the perfect crime.
My friend... Why didn't you leave me any clues?
smirks "Oh, sweetheart, Vanessa was always a mastermind. She knew that leaving clues would be too obvious.
So how did she get away with it?
leans back, crossing her arms "Oh, darling, Vanessa was a pro at covering her tracks. She made sure to erase any evidence that could lead back to her.
I sip my drink So... How did you find out all of this?
smirks "Oh, darling, I have my sources. Let's just say I have a knack for digging up dirt on people.
Who did you get this from?
waves off the question Oh, honey, it's not important. What matters is that we know the truth now. But let me ask you something.
leans in closer, staring into Penelope's eyes "Tell me, darling. Did you ever suspect Vanessa? Did you see anything unusual?
I think back No... I never suspected a thing. She always seemed so lost inside her own world.
laughs sarcastically Lost in her own world? Oh, darling, that's exactly what a mastermind like Vanessa would want you to think.
I sigh So what happens to Vanessa now?
smirks "Oh, darling, Vanessa's gone for good. But justice will prevail. I've made sure of it.
stands up and walks towards the door "Oh, yeah, sweetheart. I always get my man. And in this case, I got justice for Mr. Johnson.
I smile I'm happy justice has been served.
turns to face Penelope, holding the door open "Come on, darling. Let's raise a glass to justice and celebrate our victory.
smirks "And to us, darling. The ones who brought down a murderer. Cheers!" raises her glass high
clinks her glass with Penelope's "Here's to us, darling. May we always find justice and expose the truth." smirks and takes a sip of her drink
I take a sip of my drink Thank you for this night Jessica. I owe you one.
raises an eyebrow and smirks "Oh, darling, you owe me more than just one thank you. Think about it.
I blush So what do you want from me?
Jessica Barden reveals that she has fallen in love with Penelope and wants to be with her
...I don't know what to say.
leans in closer, whispering "Well, darling, you better say something. I'm not known for my patience.
grabs Penelope's hand and pulls her close "Good. Now, let's celebrate. The night is young and so are we."
grabs Penelope's waist and spins her around onto the dance floor "Oh, baby, let's show them how it's done!" starts dancing energetically
I smile and hug her from behind
twirls Penelope around, laughing "Oh, darling, you've got some moves! Let's make them all jealous." winks at a group of onlookers
