Elizabeth’s eyes darted away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Edward didn’t bother with small talk. He just told the butler to hand her the evidence they’d found. I’m waiting for an explanation.”

The moment Elizabeth saw the evidence Bill handed her, she knew she’d been caught.

She let out a low, bitter laugh, then shot Nina a venomous glare. You’re the one who saved him, aren’t you?”

She thought, ‘Ever since Nina came to the Hawthorne family, it seemed like nothing but trouble followed.

‘Only William and Nina have gone into Edward’s room.

‘And not long after Nina left, Edward woke up.

‘Looks like Nina is the one who healed him.

Elizabeth never thought someone so young could be so talented in medicine.

She’d paid top dollar for this poison on the black market.

Anyone who took it would die just like they’d caught some illness. No one would ever suspect a thing.

Everything had been going exactly as she’d planned, but Nina turned out to be the wild card she never saw coming.

She’d been careless.

If she’d known, she would’ve gone all in with the poison and made sure Edward never woke up again.

Nina took a sip of tea, meeting Elizabeth’s eyes calmly. “That’s right, I saved him.”

“Who are you, really? Why do you always have to mess up my plans?” Elizabeth snapped.

Nina chuckled. “You’ve asked me that before. Why not ask Edward? He probably knows better than I do.”

Edward said flatly, “Ms. Swanson has a thirty percent stake in the Hawthorne family. She invested 1.5 billion and helped us rise from nothing to where we are now.

“Elizabeth, all the wealth and luxury you’ve enjoyed these years. It’s all thanks to her. Do you get it now?”

Elizabeth’s eyes went wide in disbelief as she stared at Nina. “Youre the one who invested 1.5 billion in us all those years ago? How could someone so young pull that off?”

Elizabeth thought, “The Hawthorne family had been going downhill for years, and when things were at their worst, the money was about to run dry. Then, out of nowhere, a mysterious investor dropped 13 billion on us, bringing us back from the brink

Elizabeth had asked Edward who the investor was, but he never old her.

She never would’ve guessed it was Nina.

Miranda’s aunt is actually this powerful? Elizabeth thought

William and the others looked just stunned.

Even though William had already heard from Nina about her 1 billion investment in the Hawthorne family, hearing

Edward confirm it himself just hit differently.

William wondered, ‘How could someone so young have this kind of influence?

‘No wonder she acts like she owns the place whenever she’s at the Hawthorne family.

Anyone who could just drop 1.5 billion like it was pocket change was no average person.

The thought sent shivers down William’s spine.

Good thing he’d been awed by Nina’s moves from the start and ever tried to cross her.

If he had, he’d be in deep water right now.

Nina shot a look at the Hawthorne family and spoke with measured calm. “Edward, I don’t have time to sit around with you all. If you’re not going to teach Miranda the final lesson, I’ll do it myself.”

Edward could see that Nina’s patience was wearing thin.

He put down his tea and said to Miranda, “Miranda, this is the last lesson. Never show mercy to your enemies.”

With that, Edward turned to the butler. “Elizabeth has gone insane. She nearly killed her own family members. Contact the asylum and have her sent there. She’ll spend the rest of her life that place.”

After a pause, Edward added, “Send her to the asylum in the northern suburbs.”

The butler froze at the order.

The asylum in the northern suburbs was a maximum-security facility.

It was filled with dangerous patients who had committed murder but were found not guilty because of insanity.

Edward was really sending Elizabeth to that maximum-security sylum.

The butler shuddered.

He thought, ‘Will she even make it out of there alive?

‘No. She would survive.

‘Surviving is one thing, but how she’ll manage to live in there is nother story.

After all, those patients know exactly how to make your life hell

Elizabeth knew all too well what kind of place that northern suburb asylum was. She was shaking uncontrollably, screaming, “Edward, you bastard! I’m your wife!
