Diana Young's fingers tightened into fists, her brow furrowed. "I... I..."
Carmen Lane's tone softened. "Diana Young, you're still young. You can always earn more money. We're asking you these questions now to give you a chance. If you confess honestly, your punishment can be reduced."
Diana Young bit her lip, her heart in turmoil.
