The knife was pressed against Karen’s neck, and she was so exhausted that she could barely hold on. At this point, she didn’t even have the strength to speak.
She hated Amber for all the lies and manipulation, making them raise someone else’s child for over twenty years, only to have Judy squander their entire fortune. But more than anything, Karen despised Judy.
After all the good she had done for her, Judy was now threatening her life with a knife just because of a few harsh words.
Yet, the person Karen hated the most was Elvira. Despite being her real granddaughter, Elvira did nothing to help her when she was in danger.
So now, Karen’s eyes burned with fury as she stared at Elvira, her gaze fixed as though she were looking at her greatest
enemy.
Elvira only found it amusing. It was clear that no matter what happened, those who didn’t like her would never change their view of her. Even if Karen now knew that Judy wasn’t her biological granddaughter and that Elvira was, she still couldn’t bring herself to like her.
“Elvira, please… save your grandmother!” Vincent suddenly cried out, desperate, as he moved to kneel before Elvira.
But Elvira remained unmoved, coldly watching as Vincent was about to drop to his knees. Just as he was about to bow, Vincent swiftly turned and lunged toward Judy, who was holding his mother hostage.
He acted with incredible speed, determined to save his mother at all costs. He grabbed Judy by the arm and yanked her off the bed.
Judy, caught completely off guard, didn’t expect Vincent to be bold enough to confront her while she was holding a knife. She was stunned and fell to the floor.
Vincent, now able to rescue his mother, finally exhaled in relief. His anger flared, and he started beating and kicking Judy. Amber immediately rushed forward, trying to protect Judy from further harm.
Karen, already weakened by poison and the stress, started coughing up blood, and the chaos that followed nearly took her life. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed into unconsciousness.
At that moment, the police arrived. They surveyed the chaotic scene and immediately arrested Amber and Judy, while they handcuffed the emotionally charged Vincent.
“Officers, please! Don’t handcuff me! I haven’t done anything wrong!” Vincent tried to explain, frantic.
“Didn’t you just hit her?” one of the officers shot back.
“That’s because she was holding a knife to my mom! I was just trying to save my mom! Ask Elvira. She’s my daughter!” Vincent quickly looked to Elvira, hoping she would vouch for him.
Elvira, enjoying the spectacle, felt satisfied. She stood up, preparing to leave. “If you have questions, ask my bodyguards. They’ve been here the whole time and saw everything clearly. I’ve got other business to attend to, so I’m leaving now.”
“Elvira, you can’t leave! You have to stay! You’re the only true child of the Willis family!” Vincent, now desperate, pleaded. Judy and Amber’s cries in the background were grating on Elvira’s nerves. She barely glanced at Vincent before speaking in a cold tone, devoid of any emotion. “Don’t get it twisted. I’m not here to help you. I just wanted to watch the show.
life.”
“I wanted to see how you’d treat Judy once you found out she wasn’t actually related to you. You didn’t disappoint me. Watching you all tear each other apart has been entertaining. Bu from now on, stay out of my

With that, Elvira turned and walked out, ignoring Vincent’s desperate attempts to stop her. To Elvira, his words no longer mattered.
Vincent watched as Judy’s figure disappeared, and an overwhelming sense of regret hit him like a wave. He truly regretted ever being so kind to Judy, all while neglecting his own daughter
The bodyguards who had witnessed everything explained the situation to the police, giving an objective account of what happened. After hearing them out, the police released Vincent and arrested Amber, Judy, and Jayden.
Just then, Judy screamed in pain, clutching her stomach. She was several months pregnant, and her belly was visibly swollen. The officers, not daring to take any chances, immediately arranged for her to be examined at the obstetrics department.
Vincent was in a hurry to save his mother. In short, the scene was in chaos.
When Elvira left the hospital, the car was already waiting for her As soon as she stepped out, Zach got out of the car to greet her. He walked up to Elvira and took her hand, his voice full of concern. “Are you okay?”
Elvira’s eyes still held a smile as she leaned in and kissed him. “Of course, I’m fine. I’m actually really happy. I’ve been. waiting for this day for so long.”
“Yeah, darling, you’re amazing. Let’s go home.” Zach wrapped his arm around Elvira and led her out, helping her into the
car.
Judy was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage and was kept in the hospital for bed rest. However, she was under police custody for charges of kidnapping and attempted murder. Once she was well enough to be discharged, she would be taken directly to the detention center for questioning.
Amber was arrested for perjury, solicitation of murder, and murder. She was also taken to the police station, along with Jayden.
Karen had been resuscitated. Vincent sat by her bedside, his entire body slumped in despair. He felt numb, not knowing how to face the sudden chaos that had unfolded.
His mind kept replaying the events, and all he could feel was regret, regret for being so good to Judy while neglecting Elvira and Marsh.
Especially when he thought about Marsh, the regret deepened. Vincent had no idea where Marsh was now. Suddenly, he

Karen, hearing her son’s sobs, woke up. She turned her gaze to Vincent, her voice weak but curious. “Vincent, I just had a dream… I dreamt that Judy wasn’t my real granddaughter. Isn’t that a ridiculous dream?”
Vincent’s heart broke even more upon hearing this. His voice caught as he sobbed, struggling to speak. “Mom, that wasn’t a dream. It’s all true. Judy’s not even part of the Willis family.
“She’s a bastard, not our blood. She even kidnapped you and nearly hurt you. Mom, Amber… that bitch, she’s lied to us for so long.”
Karen’s face turned pale as if the shock of the revelation had aged her in an instant. The

“We have to find Marsh. He’s the real heir of the Willis family. He’s our hope.” Karen tightened her grip on Vincent’s hand, giving him an urgent command.

“Mom, but we don’t even know where Marsh is. If only we had treated Elvira and Marsh better… Mom, what if he doesn’t even want to recognize us anymore?” Vincent’s regret was so intense that he wished he could slap himself.
“Elvira must know where he is. She loves Marsh so much. He went missing, yet she wasn’t desperate to find him. She has to know where he is. We must find him.” Karen was adamant, her eyes filled with determination as she urged Vincent.
“Mom, I understand. But what about the company? We’ve lost so much money. I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep it going.” Vincent’s face was a picture of despair.
