"Others might not recognize your voice, but do you think I wouldn't? From the very beginning, you were aware of everything Shannon did. You knew about her plans to hire someone to murder someone else! Instead of informing me, you chose to aid her in concealing it?! Were you out of your mind?!" "N-No, I..." "Do you know your actions amount to siding and aiding a criminal?! You're an accomplice! Do you wish to end up behind bars like Shannon?! Is that what you desire?!" Bethany was terrified. She dropped to her knees before Gregory in a desperate state, tears streaming down her pale face as she pleaded, her hands trembling nervously. "Dad! I've made a grave mistake... I fully acknowledge that now! Everything I did... She forcedinto doing them! She's my biological mother... She madedo it... I couldn't just say no to her! I was too filial... I was stupid! She begged, "Please, don't letgo to jail. I'm your daughter, too... Can you really bear to seebehind bars?! Besides, how can the Salvadors afford to have another family member behind bars?

"Tsk tsk... What an unfortunate sight for the family."Sasha crossed her arms, sneering coldly, "Is this a genetic mutation? How could two individuals born from the swomb be so drastically different Carrie, the youngest daughter of the Salvador family, is such a lovely girl, while Bethany seems like she's straight out of a horrible book-rude, foolish, and wicked! I bet her unfortunate mother would be better off twenty years younger!" Mila looked puzzled. "Sasha, I find this quite strange, too. Among the four children of the Salvador family, Justin, Carrie, and even their eldest son, who lives in Meridan, were al outstanding individuals among the younger generations in Savrow. How did this Bethany girl turn out like a wild child picked up from the street, with such degraded character and lacking noble qualities?" Upon hearing this, Bella felt a faint suspicion arise in her heart.
