always
pushed to the verge of tears.
“Humph! You’re just a fraud!” Ashton, with her fiery temper, despised Linda, whom she
thought was a phony who always tried to garner sympathy with her tears. She
continued, “Roselynn brewed the remedy from three days ago! You just stole the credit
from her. And now, not only are you clueless about the prescription, but to cover up
you your lie, you’re deliberately putting off my mom’s treatment! You’re trying to kill her, yo
shameless b*tch!”
The cutting words from her reduced Linda to tears in an instant.

Hearing their mother’s words, Julian and Ashton felt both frustrated and helpless.
Normally, Ashton would have snapped back, but now, with her mother at death’s door,
she feared that quarreling with her would literally kill her at any minute. What should I
do?
“Julian, listen up!” Althea continued with agitation as her son and daughter made no
retort. “I’ll never allow Roselynn into our family! Even if she brewed those remedies for

“Enough! That’s it!” Ronnie finally interjected. He said to Zaiden, “Could you all step out
for a moment? I want to have a word alone with my sister.”
Zaiden exchanged glances with the others present before nodding. Then, he went out,
followed by the others.
Soon, only Althea and Ronnie remained in the room.
Only then did Ronnie say to Althea in a calm tone, “Althea, has your time with the
