Always telling the truth is very admirable trait and I wouldn't normally advise anyone to deliberately tell lies, but in this situation, where she has already lied (by omission), I think she's now in the position where she's damned if she does and maybe even damned if doesn't. She's already started on that particular road and I think that telling the truth at this stage would probably do her more harm than good.
