"This car is a bit too small," Leyla said, eyeing the remaining bags with concern.
Eileen's lips twitched in relief. “Grandma, this is a campervan, not a cargo truck! You've packed so much that there's barely any room left for us!" Leyla's eyes softened as she looked at Eileen. "It's my first trip to Onaland, darling. I need to bring gifts for all your friends and relatives, right? Everyone deserves a little something, and there are so many people we will be visiting. And don't forget, we still need to pack Gabriela's things." It was clear she wasn't willing to part with anything.
"Grandma, I'll arrange for someone to send the rest of these items to Onaland. We need to clear out sspace in the campervan, or it won't be comfortable for you," Eileen said.
Under Eileen's gentle hint, Bryan attempted to persuade Leyla. "How much will it cost? I know my own body, and I don't get tired easily. Let's just get everything loaded!"

The results, delivered yesterday afternoon, showed distinct pinpricks on the back of her neck. It confirmed that she was forcibly held underwater, leading to her tragic death," the police officer replied.
Bryan's frustration was palpable as he snapped, "Do you think we could show up at the Aston family's estate out of the blue, kill Jaliyah, and then leave undetected?"
"Of course not!" the police officer replied hastily. "We went to the Aston family's villa to gather evidence and found the true murderer, who was arrested last night." Eileen was stunned by the news of Jaliyah's unexpected death. After composing herself, she asked, "If the murderer has been caught, why are you here talking to us?"
