“Kane was so good to you, and yet you took his life. Madilyn, you are monstrous. First, you poisoned me slowly. I knew you were ambitious, hungry for more. For Arthur’s sake, for whatever role you played in his life, I let it go. I chose not to pursue it. But… to learn that Kane’s death was by your hand… You… You…” Charles grew increasingly agitated and broke into a fit of violent, wracking coughs.

“Charles, you must calm yourself. So many people worked tirelessly to stabilize your condition. Blaine reminded you repeatedly–if you insisted on coming here to confront this, you absolutely cannot get yourself worked up.”

After several painful coughs, Charles raised a trembling hand. “I’m… I’m fine… Tell him not to worry… Even if my time comes, it won’t be today.”

“Honestly!” Landon sighed with a mix of exasperation and concern, then turned a glare of pure contempt on Madilyn. “You are more cruel than any storybook villain. A person like you deserves to rot in the lowest circle of hell.”

“I…” Madilyn stood frozen, utterly unable to form a coherent defense.

“Thankfully Arthur–our dear, if somewhat naive, Mr. Myers–though a bit blind, turned out to have a decent moral compass. At least he didn’t inherit those particular traits.” Landon glanced at Arthur and offered a faint, sympathetic smile.

Hearing this, Arthur felt a deep, cringing shame, but he couldn’t deny the truth in the words.

Chloe had called him blind and foolish, incapable of judging character. Now his grandfather was saying the same.

Was he truly that incompetent?

He hadn’t wanted to believe his mother capable of murder. Now, his grandfather had voiced the accusation aloud–and had invoked the one wound that had never healed: his father’s death.

His father’s passing was a burden Arthur had carried for years, a constant, private guilt. That day, he had been the one to call his father, asking him to come home early. On the drive back, the accident happened–his father and the car were both gone, without a final word or goodbye.

For years, Arthur blamed himself. He believed it was indirectly his fault. If he hadn’t made that call, his father wouldn’t have been driving with such urgency. The accident wouldn’t have occurred.

It was all his failing. Even after years of successfully leading Myers Group, known for his

After carrying this weight for so long, to now hear from his grandfather’s own lips that the person responsible was his mother…

Arthur felt today was an exceptionally cruel day–the kind that grinds a person into the dirt and makes him question every foundation of his life.

From Chloe’s scorn, to others mocking his poor judgment, to his grandfather’s devastating revelation–it completely shattered the narrative he had built for himself.

His mother was a murderer. She was also the one who had pushed his grandfather down the stairs.

The sound of firm, measured footsteps echoed as several police officers in uniform entered the hall. Their solemn, official presence sent a new wave of tension through the room.

“Madilyn Myers, you need to come with us. Substantial evidence regarding your involvement in the death of Kane Myers has been submitted, along with proof of your attempt on Charles Myers‘ life. You are now under arrest.” The lead officer presented the arrest warrant directly and produced a pair of cold, metallic handcuffs.

Seeing this, Madilyn’s panic became sheer, unadulterated terror.

“No! This is wrong! I didn’t kill anyone! I can’t even stand the sight of blood–how could I possibly kill a person?” Madilyn shook her head violently, her voice a desperate shriek of denial.

The officers exchanged a brief, professional glance, their expressions remaining impassive. They had seen such performances before.

“The evidence is conclusive. The time for pretense is over. We are not here to debate; we are here to make an arrest. You can cooperate and come quietly, or we will be forced to assist you.” As he spoke, the officer stepped forward, the handcuffs held ready,

Madilyn grew frantic, her denials escalating. “There’s been a terrible mistake!” She whirled toward Charles, her finger pointing accusingly. “This is all Chloe’s scheme! Charles is old and confused–he’s rambling! Look at him now–how can anyone believe he’s in his right mind?

“Officers, the legal will is right there, properly notarized. Now Charles suddenly appears and accuses me–does that make any sense? Chloe is manipulating everything from behind the scenes! Charles parrots whatever she tells him to say!”
