Sallie's POV
While I sipped my soup, Todd filled me in on everything that had unfolded during the day and night I'd been out cold.
Once the cops dug up the evidence, the kidnappers finally came clean. They owned up to snatching both Jill and me, claiming they'd acted solo without any puppet master pulling their strings.
Their real mark had been the Noah heiress, so they'd grabbed me first. But when they figured out there was no cash to squeeze from that, they switched targets to Jill.
After getting busted, they'd tried throwing Lionel and me under the bus, just desperate to dodge blame and find someone else to pin it on.
This story made way more sense than their previous bullshit. Everyone knew how much the Noahs treasured Jill, and when I got kidnapped, the Noah family hadn't coughed up a single cent.
The moment the case wrapped up, everyone just breathed easier and celebrated.
