The entire Clark family stood stunned as if struck by lightning.

Shawn said, “You feel guilty toward Emilia, who happened to save your daughter, which made you feel even

worse. So, you cherished Emilia’s daughter as a gem to find comfort. At the stime, you used your

daughter's suffering to commemorate the deceased and atone for your sins.”

Shawn clapped. “Mrs. Clark, what a clever scheme!

“However, your daughter endured seventeen years of torment in your stead. Yet you, the root of this evil, have

ever knelt before Emilia or repented even once in those seventeen years?

Madeline was unable to answer, trembling all over.

People said, “Oh, my goodness, Madeline is actually like that! | used to think Natasha was a bit heartless for

breaking ties with them and even disowning her mother.”

“For her own comfort, she made her daughter's life miserable. How outrageous! She might as well not have

given birth.”

“When family turns vicious, they can be far more ruthless than outsiders.”

“Natasha is unlucky. If it were me, | would also make a huge fuss with this family.”

“One can know a person’s face, but not their heart.”

The blunt remarks cut deep, like daggers piercing the flesh.

What distressed Madeline even more was the shocked and suspicious look in her two sons‘ eyes.

They couldn't believe that their kind and perfect mother had such a despicable side.

“No, no,” Madeline cried, shaking her head. “It's because Natasha's recklessness

killed Emilia. That's why I'm like this. Yes, it’s all because of that accident. I didn’t want this, and I love Natasha,

too.”

“An accident?” Shawn raised an eyebrow. “Yes, that accident completely changed Olivia's and Miss Clark's

destinies. Was it really an accident?”

He looked at the smiling black and white photo. “It seems Emilia had beca perfect victim now, hadn't she?”

Andrew understood the deeper meaning. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he looked at Shawn. “What do you

mean?”

Shawn raised his chin. “Take the gift to our birthday person.”

The bodyguard handed a box full of photos to Madeline.

Madeline's eyes were filled with disbelief. She almost dropped the box as her hands went weak, but Thomas

steadied her.

‘Impossible. Is there more to Emilia’s death? Then, what have | done for all these years amounts to?’ thought

Madeline.

Madeline stared intently at the box in her hands, but couldn't bring herself to open it.

Ryan, an onlooker nearby, could no longer hold back, saying, “How about | open it for you?”

He received a warning glance from Thomas.

Ryan pursed his lips and looked at Shawn. “Con, you can’t give people half the story, Shawn, share

whatever it is with everyone.”

Other guests nodded silently, their eyes full of anticipation.

Shawn smiled. “Of course. Since we're going to set the record straight about the past, there's nothing to hide

He said, “Emilia Sutton? | remember her. | was the one who diagnosed her back then.

“Yes, it was breast cancer. If she had received proper treatment, she would have had over a year to live. But

when only seven or eight months remained, she suddenly stopped treatment and left without even taking

painkillers. | still feel quite regretful.

“Why such a deep impression?” The old doctor frowned, appearing somewhat confused. “Perhaps it's because no

patient, upon learning they had cancer, cried in fear. Instead, she laughed freely.

“She refused hospitalization, stating she had more important things to do than her life, and she wanted her

remaining life to be worthwhile.”

Then, the scene shifted to an ordinary-looking woman in her sixties.

The Clark family recognized her as the woman who used to work next door. Later, they heard she had returned

to her hometown.

“Miss Natasha from next door? | remember her. That little girl was pretty and kind-hearted. She often shared her

candy and snacks with us.

“Her 6th birthday? | remember that day. The window of the house where | worked faced their yard. | saw the little

girl from their relatives’ family poking the stray cat that Miss Natasha picked up with a small knife, and she was

scratched when the kitten resisted.

She waved her hand, as if unwilling to mention it again.

Andrew already sensed something at that point, feeling both shock and pain, and the anger of being fooled.

He still remembered that stray cat.

Natasha loved it, and it had always been docile and well-behaved. They were indeed planning to adopt it before

it scratched Olivia.

It was because Olivia cried so terribly that day that he placated the children by saying the kitten would be sent

away to starve.

‘Did that, in turn, give someone an opportunity?‘ thought Andrew.

His chest felt as if a barbed dagger had been plunged into it.

However, the interview on the big screen had not stopped yet.

A young man appeared this time.
