Delilah's mind went blank.
Cindy's stab contained all the resentment she had gathered throughout her life. The bodyguards rushed in as it plunged into her chest.
"Let me go! Let me go at once!" Cindy screamed, condemning, "I must kill this devil! She killed my daughter… My Jojo!"
Daniel signaled the bodyguards to escort her out.
Delilah knelt on the ground, shaking and pale.
At that moment, Daniel cared more about Maisie. He hugged her tight, feeling her tremble. Heartbroken, he gently pulled her into his chest.
Maisie looked at Cindy. All the grievances she had felt since youth exploded.
At that moment, she finally realized why she meant nothing to Cindy. She understood why her mother showered love on her brother and sister. She finally comprehended why she became the family's money-making machine and why Cindy remained indifferent despite her sacrificing happiness for the family...
'So, we aren't related by blood…'
She sobbed, then smiled later on.
It was a beautiful smile, tainted with endless mockery and anger at being deceived by destiny.
Daniel took her away, worried she might collapse.
When Wilfred tried to call out to her, he found he couldn't make a sound. His throat felt blocked, as if a rock pressed on his chest.
His face flushed, and he fell to the ground with wide-open eyes while holding his chest.
The incident only temporarily quieted down—it had yet to end.
