"You've even bought a new place for your family," Beth added. "Don't look so surprised. You couldn't have possibly thought that I wasn't keeping an eye on you, did you? I don't trust you yet."

"If you can do that, why can't you have someone who is looking into me to help you to kill your mother-in-law?" Chester asked.
