Harold rose to his feet, stepping closer to Tedmond and Kyle, a maniacal look in his eyes. “You should know your place, bastard. Max is only here to finalize the marriage between him and Melody. It would help if you stayed out of it. Go home now!”

The words hit Melody like a ton of bricks. “How dare you treat me like a thing you can just marry off to your useless son, Max?” she bellowed. “Get out of my house before I call the cops!”

“We would’ve gotten what we wanted before the cops arrived,” Max said. “And even if they do come, we have more than enough money to get them off our backs.”

Melody’s glare intensified. “You bastard! How are you even related to Tedmond? He’s ten times better than you’ll ever be.”

Max began rising to his feet, his nose red and slightly broken, with blood trickling down to his jaw.

“That won’t last long,” Max said. “Once we deal with him, you’ll stop admiring that son of a maid.”

Tedmond, however, remained silent after hearing his father’s words. Harold grinn

    She walked straight upstairs to her room. Everything was exactly as she’d left it—the curtains drawn, the drawer half open, the stack of papers still on her table, and the mess taken care of.More like the housekeeper had cleaned the room—and without permission at that.Lisa didn’t waste any time.She took out her small travel bag from the wardrobe and began packing.She reached for the drawer where she had kept the divorce papers she’d written earlier that week.Lisa stared at the documents for a moment, then tore them apart one by one.The sound of the paper ripping filled the room.When she was done, she checked the small wooden box beside her table. Inside was the seal she had kept safe—the only thing that could save her now.It was still there.She touched it lightly, her fingers trembling for just a second before she shut the lid and placed it carefully into her bag.Without glancing back, Lisa zipped the bag and walked out of the room.The housekeeper was still standing in the

  • CHAPTER 461

    Lisa knew Amara had faked her fainting to distract the men, giving herself the chance to delete the evidence—and just thinking about it made Lisa furious.She had stepped aside for Amara because the family adored her, yet Amara still refused to accept her, making it seem as though Lisa was the villain.Lisa had reached her limit. She wasn’t going to let Amara get away with anything anymore.“How can it be deleted?” Daniel demanded, his brows twitching as if they might burst. “It’s only been a few minutes! Are you saying someone deleted it on purpose?”“That doesn’t make sense,” Matthew said. “We were with Amara. She fainted, and the doctors took her in. There’s no way she could have deleted it.”Daniel turned to the technician. “You’re sure the file is gone?”“Yes, sir,” the man replied. “It’s been completely erased.”Ethan frowned. “Then who did it?”The room fell silent. Slowly, the three brothers turned to look at Lisa, their parents following suit.Lisa leaned back against the pi

    Lisa’s voice rang loud and sharp, making her mother flinch. The woman hadn’t expected her to snap.Her father raised a hand, opening his mouth to speak, but Lisa cut him off, her eyes blazing.“I said go! I’m not dying here, and I don’t need you hovering over me like I’m a child! Leave!”Her parents exchanged a glance, their calm demeanor unshaken. Lisa’s frown deepened as she folded her arms over her chest.Her heart raced, but so did her resolve.She would make them understand. She would protect her baby, no matter what.Her father’s jaw tightened, his voice low and sharp. “Lisa, you’re a filial daughter. You should never speak to us like that. Amara would never dare say anything like this to us. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ever given birth to you… maybe you were a mistake.”Lisa’s eyes widened in disbelief.Her chest heaved with anger, and she shot up from the bed, pointing a trembling finger at him. “Is that why you let Amara do all those things to me? Lie about everythin

    There was no way to make them understand without the evidence.Her hands clenched in her lap, fingernails digging into the sheets as her eyes narrowed at Amara.She didn’t say a word—she let the silence hang, heavy and accusing, letting the tension speak for her.Amara’s gaze flicked nervously between Lisa and the brothers, her act of pitiful innocence beginning to crumble.Every passing second made the sweat on her brow feel hotter, and every glance of suspicion in their eyes made her panic rise.Ethan exchanged a glance with Daniel and Matthew.“Fine,” he said finally, his voice clipped. “Let’s see the footage.”Amara’s stomach twisted.She swallowed hard, her throat dry, and tried again to talk them out of it.“Please… really, it’s unnecessary. You’ll see—it’ll just be a misunderstanding. Trust me.”But the brothers’ expressions hardened. Their frowns deepened as they stared at her.Daniel crossed his arms. “You’re the one panicking, Amara. You’ve been trying to make this about Lisa

  • CHAPTER 458

    Amara froze on the floor, her heart pounding in her chest. The mention of the security camera sent panic racing through her veins.She needed to turn this around fast.Instead of getting up, she grabbed Lisa’s hand tightly, clutching it as though pleading.“Lisa, please,” she whispered desperately, her eyes glossy with fake tears. “I know you’re angry at me, but I didn’t mean for things to turn out like this. I was scared… I was confused… Please don’t hate me.”Lisa’s jaw tightened. She yanked her hand away, her patience snapping.“Let go of me.”Amara refused.She clung tighter, her nails digging into Lisa’s skin. “Please, Lisa! I’m sorry! I just wanted us to go back to how things used to be.”“I said let go!” Lisa snapped, snatching her hand back sharply.Amara immediately threw herself backward, her body hitting the cold hospital floor with a loud thud.She gasped dramatically, clutching her cheek as though Lisa had struck her.The brothers instantly took a step forward, startled b

  • CHAPTER 457

    After seeing Amara freeze, Ethan grew even more suspicious. After all, they had found Amara in Lisa’s room—not the other way around.And it was Lisa who had been in pain, completely unaware of whether anyone was home.There was no way she could have staged such a scene.Amara hesitated for a split second, then lowered her gaze, her voice softening into something pitiful.“Because she wanted to make herself look like the victim… she knew you’d all side with her if she got hurt. She planned it—she wanted sympathy.”Matthew glanced at Ethan, uncertain.“You think she’s telling the truth?” he asked quietly.Ethan didn’t answer
