"Speak up!" Wilfred bellowed, his voice strained.
It seemed like he was releasing the grief of losing his beloved for the past 20 years through those two words.
"You've known all along... that Maisie is my daughter, right?
"You've known I've been doting on the wrong person all these years! You've known that, as a father, I let my own
daughter suffer in life while showering all my love on someone who has no blood relation to me! Right?
"Delilah!" Wilfred slapped Delilah's face!
Blood trickled from Delilah's mouth. She was dazed. It took her a while to turn and look at him incredulously.

As Whitney gave the order, a hidden door behind the meeting room's bookshelf silently parted. When Cindy slowly
walked out from inside, Delilah froze in place as if she had seen a ghost.
"The evidence... It's all here with me!" Cindy raised something in her hand—a small recorder. She pressed the
button, and the recorded conversation from years ago played...
"As long as you help me get rid of Anya, I promise to reward your family well."
"Madam, I can't..."
"You must! I know your wife just gave birth to a daughter. As long as you help me, I'll keep your daughter with me.
I'll raise her as my own daughter... She'll be the most esteemed heiress of the Newhouses by then!

plead to the judge, saying it wasn't intentional. At most, you'll get a few years and then be released.
"Think it over! Trading your few years for a lifetime of glory for your youngest daughter. Is this deal worth it or not?"
Then, there was silence in the recording. Not long after, the man's determined voice sounded. "I agree, but how do
I bring my daughter to the Newhouses? I don't want her to be treated as a foster daughter..." "Don't worry, she
won't be a foster daughter! She'll be Wilfred's biological daughter. After getting rid of Anya, take the bastard child

Wilfred clenched his fists, looking emotionless.
"That's how it is!" Cindy wiped her tears, trying hard to keep her voice steady. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm an
uneducated housewife. My husband was just an ordinary driver for the Newhouses... We were both manipulated by
Mrs. Newhouses!
"We were so poor back then, just hoping for a better future for our daughter." Cindy couldn't help but sob. "But I
never thought Delilah was lying to me! My husband wasn't released after a few years—he was sentenced to death!
And now... Now, she has caused harm to my daughter. She turned Jojo into a murderer!
"Delilah Roper!" Cindy suddenly pulled out a dagger. "With what happened to my daughter, you can forget about
having an easy time—"
