Chapter 110
Bridget clenched her teeth, stubbornly refusing to speak. The blade glided across Miriam's skin.
Tears streaming down her face, Bridget tried to change the subject, "Sylvia, please, stop this. | know this is hard
for you to accept, but my mom is innocent."
Miriam screamed. "Bridget! Save me! She's lost it!"
Her cheeks flushed with distress as she cried inconsolably, yet she refused to admit any fault on her mother's
behalf. It showed just how deceptive she could be.
Everyone had known Bridget for over three years, and seeing her perform flawlessly now, they didn't know who
to believe.
That's when Tristan raised his voice. "Sylvia, have you lost your mind? Let Mrs. Simpson go. Do you really think a
fake recording can fool everyone?"
His words didn't just wound Sylvia; they cut deep into Edwin. At his age, hearing his father prefer to trust a
stranger over his own flesh and blood was too much. His face flushed beet red with anger. "Dad! It's all true!"
"Shut it! Is that any way to speak? Sylvia, get out!" Tristan wouldn't hear any more.
Sylvia snickered. "Oh, really, Tristan? You don't believe me? Check your phone, | just sent you something
interesting."
Sylvia leaned closer to Miriam, whispering sinisterly, "Mrs. Simpson, seems like your daughter doesn't want to
save you. Lettell you something, | was just diagnosed with a mental illness. Stress doesn't sit well with me. |
could kill you right now, and it wouldn't even count as a crime- just a temporary confinement. Heh..."

Tristan checked his phone, his expression turning sour as he saw the evidence.
Her laughter sent chills down Miriam's spine. When Sylvia pressed the knife against her skin, Miriam knew Sylvia
was serious about killing her. Seeing Bridget remain silent, Miriam had no choice but to defend herself. "The
recording is real!"
The room erupted in shock, Bridget's face a mix of emotions, even seeming to blMiriam. The next second,
Sylvia collapsed backwards. Rupert caught her, leaning to whisper just for her, "Quite the performance, though it
seemed spiced with a bit of personal vendetta, didn't it?" Sylvia almost lost her composure. He... how did he
know everything?
To avoid suspicion, Sylvia 'woke up' a minute later.
Bridget, supporting Miriam, accused, "Sylvia, you're insane! I'm calling the police!"
Sylvia, feigning confusion, replied, "What... how did you know | was unwell? What did | just do? | can't
remember." "What?"
"I was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder yesterday. Normally, I'm fine, but stress triggers episodes," Sylvia
explained. "You're lying!"
"I have a certificate from a reputable hospital." Pushing Rupert aside, Sylvia deliberately stepped on his foot as
she retrieved the medical certificate from her bag, showing it to Tristan first. Then she showed it to Bridget.
Bridget fumed. "That must be forged."
Sylvia pointed to the doctor's name.
