Chapter 9 Summary

In the present, Bea looks through Gale’s file on Collin, but there is no information that poses any threat to Bea. Gale documented Collin’s depression, but Bea is already aware of that. The Case family sends a car to pick up Bea and Wren, who is overly excited about the trip to the family home in Greenwich, Connecticut. Wren loves the driver and the complimentary champagne he pours Bea and Wren. In the car, Wren complains about her recent break-up with a man in finance, and Bea pretends to care about Wren. Wren implies that Collin is Bea’s best friend, and Bea says her best friend was murdered in her hometown, adding that the murderer was never caught. At the Case home, Calliope greets Bea and Wren, openly laughing at Wren when she suggests posting a picture of Bea’s engagement ring on social media. Inside, Bea sits next to Haven, and she is happy when Haven nods in approval at Bea’s ring. Wren introduces herself loudly, prompting another laugh from Calliope, and Bea suspects Chloe helped Gale pick out a suitable dress for the event.

While the women discuss Wren’s backstory of attending a fashion school, Bea notes Gale’s silence.
