t he recovered quickly. Curling up on the ground, he immediately began wailing.
“Ow! They attacked me! What are they trying to do?”
There was no evidence anyway. He was a member of the Young family.
Julie had only just woken up and was probably confused. Wouldn’t everyone believe whatever he said?
Once again, all eyes turned to Iris and Vincent.
“Rupert, what exactly happened? And why is Julie hurt too?”
Rumi and her husband hurried over to help him up, while the two doctors rushed to check on Evelyn.
Fortunately, the monitors showed everything was normal.
Her life wasn’t in danger.
Rupert said indignantly, “I was just passing by tonight when I happened to see these two sneaking around outside. So I came in to see what was going on, and they attacked me!”
Of course, no one in the Young family was foolish enough to believe the Noir siblings had come to harm Evelyn.
After helping her brother onto the bed, Rumi poured Julie a glass of water.
“You tell us, Julie. What really happened?”
Vincent and Rupert were telling completely different stories.

Still shaken, Julie sat on the bed and said, “I woke up and saw Uncle standing next to Grandma’s bed.”
“When he realized I was awake, he covered my mouth and started choking me…”
As the terrifying scene replayed in her mind, she instinctively shut her eyes.
“If Iris and Vincent hadn’t shown up… he probably would’ve strangled me to death.”
“You silly girl,” Rupert scoffed. “You must’ve been dreaming. Why would I strangle you? And what would I gain from killing my own mother? If anything, those two outsiders are far more suspicious.”
Everyone exchanged uncertain looks.
No one knew whom to believe.
Rupert wore an aggrieved expression as the family doctor treated his injuries.
“There aren’t any security cameras in here. You can accuse me of whatever you want. But if I really did this… there has to be a motive, doesn’t there?”
‘That brat hit ridiculously hard. One tiny pebble almost felt like a bullet.‘
Suddenly, Rumi thought of something. Her expression hardened as she looked at Iris.
“Is this because we didn’t agree to transfer my mother to the hospital? So you came back to get revenge?”
Before Iris could respond, Vincent spoke first. “The Noir family doesn’t have that much free time. We only came because of the friendship between our families–to save Grandma Young’s life.”
“We drove here directly from the Noir residence. You know our houses aren’t far apart.” He stepped forward, shielding Iris behind him. “I was going to Iris’s room to chat when I happened to see her leaving. She told me what was happening here, so I came with her.”
Rumi frowned. “You were at the Noir residence, how would you know what was

happening in our house?”

“Brother.” Iris gently touched Vincent’s arm before walking past him toward the fruit basket beside Evelyn’s bed.
From among the reflective wrapping paper, she removed an object no bigger than a fingertip.
Rupert’s heart sank. He forced himself to stay calm.
‘I knew that wrapping paper looked strange. Flashy… reflective… There really was a hidden
camera inside.‘
Julie spoke according to the plan she’d already discussed with Iris. “I believed Iris when she said Grandma had probably been poisoned. So I asked her to hide a camera in Grandma’s room to help keep watch.”
The day Iris left the Young residence, Julie had asked what they should do.
That was when Iris proposed the idea. She would secretly install a tiny camera in Evelyn’s room. Julie would stay with her grandmother.
The camera was connected to Iris’s laptop, where she’d set an alarm. If anyone entered Evelyn’s room during the night, Iris would know immediately and rush
over.
Julie had trusted her without hesitation.
The two of them had staged this trap together.
Neither of them had expected…
….that the fish they caught would be Julie’s own uncle.
Iris adjusted the miniature camera and pressed a button.
The device instantly transformed into a tiny projector, displaying the recorded footage on the white wall nearby.
Vincent closed the bedroom door and switched off the lights.
The surveillance video expanded clearly across the wall.

Iris fast–forwarded to that night’s recording.
Sure enough…
Rupert quietly entered the room and crept toward Evelyn’s bedside.

The moment Rumi saw him grabbing Julie by the throat, she snatched up a pillow and hurled it at him.
“What are you doing?! You were trying to kill Julie!”
