“Even with all the evidence in front of me, I still chose to protect you. Now tell me, why is the downfall of the Reed family on you?”

Lillian felt silent.

Susan’s voice trembled. “Why you? Tell me, why is it you?”

At that moment, Susan completely lost herself.

Her repeated shouting, “Why is it you?” echoed through the room as her emotions crumbled.

Anyone in the Reed family could betray me, but not Lillian.

had cherished Lillian like my own daughter and loved her dearly. How had it come to this?

Lillian’s tears streamed down her face.

Faced with Susan’s relentless questioning, her mind had gone blank.

Seeing her sob in silence, Susan grew even more hysterical. “Tell me! Why? Have I ever treated you badly?”

“I’m sorry, Mom. I really am. I’m so sorry…”

Apology after apology spilled out between her sobs—it was pathetic, a cruel mockery of regret.

Such an apology–how ridiculous, how ironic.

Susan shut her eyes, her entire body shaking. “I hate you. I hate you, Lillian Reed. I hate you…”

Hearing her mother say the words over and over again, Lillian felt like she couldn’t breathe.

The Reed family, completely shattered.

After questioning Lillian, Susan ran out in a frenzy.

Leaving behind only Lillian and Jonathan.

Lillian, eyes red and swollen, turned toward Jonathan.

But the brother who had always been kind to her was now gazing at her with nothing but coldness.

“Jonathan…”

Her voice was choked.

But the only response was Jonathan’s retreating figure as he walked back into his room.

Faced with such an indifferent back, Lillian felt her chest constrict even further. Her tears kept falling.

At nighttime, Stella sat in the living room, watching TV. She rarely spent much time on her phone.

On–screen, breaking news scrolled across the bottom.

“Major development, A high–profile homicide occurred today in the city. Stay tuned for details.”

The anchor’s voice was formal and detached.

Stella focused on the screen.

The background image, wasn’t that Susan?

Just as she was about to take a closer look, her phone vibrated loudly.

It was Tessa calling.

Stella answered. “Tessa.”

“Stella, that woman–Susan Carter–she might have killed someone. She killed someone.”

Stella was stunned.

Hearing Tessa’s words, she instinctively glanced at the TV, where the news report continued.

She stared at the footage–Susan in handcuffs.

“It’s not ‘might have–it’s real.”

This was on the city’s news. It had to be real.

Tessa gasped. “Is she insane?”

“Let me see who she killed.”

Stella leaned closer to the screen.

Tessa asked, “Are you watching the news?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t bother; it’s got to be the mistress.”

What else could drive a wife into such madness? A mistress stealing away her place in the family, of course.

Stella felt silent.

She wasn’t wrong.

Looking closer–it was indeed the women who kept outside.

She had lost it completely.

Tessa muttered, “Hey, if she was that mad, why didn’t she deal with Lillian too?”

She went after the mistress–but Lillian was completely unharmed.
