Agnes continued cally, “He made a bet with Duncan, Raymond’s younger brother. If he managed to win me over, he would get a brand-new sports car. Later, Raymond showed up and saved me.
“At first, Ethan had no idea who Raymond was. But the moment he found out, he was so terrified that he jumped off a building.
“But he left his phone at the bar that night. Raymond gave it to me, and after I saw what was inside, I felt that Ethan got exactly what he deserved.
“Becoming a vegetable was already letting him off easy.
“I couldn’t bring myself to tell you any of this. I didn’t dare imagine how much it would hurt you.
“Since Ethan was already in that state, and you had already left him, I chose to bury all of that filth and never bring it up again.
“I thought we could just live our lives, raise the child properly, and leave everything in the past.”

Agnes paused. She looked at Rebecca, disappointment filling her eyes, then let out a soft sigh.
“But I never expected you and Ethan to be the same kind of person. I kept reminding you that he was trash, yet you still couldn’t let go of him.
“Now I finally understand why. You guys are the same kind of people. You’re cut from the same cloth. Like magnets, you’re so drawn to each other that no one can pull you apart.”
Rebecca clenched her fists and said, “Then why didn’t you keep it buried? Weren’t you doing it for my sake?
“You told the Nolans everything, and now they’ve kicked me out. Are you happy now? Do you feel satisfied?”
Agnes shook her head slowly, disappointment clear in her eyes, and said, “What do I have to be happy about? What is there to feel satisfied about? The pain of your betrayal hurts just as much as when my mother passed away.”
Rebecca let out a mocking laugh and said, “Just drop the best friend act already! I just want to know what you’re going to do to me next. Are you going to have Raymond kill me?”
Agnes looked at her and said, “You think dying solves everything? I never wanted things to come to this.
“I gave you a chance yesterday, but it’s obvious you still haven’t understood what you did wrong, and you clearly have no intention of leaving me and Raymond alone.
“If I didn’t step in now, I can’t even imagine what kind of extreme thing you’d do next after losing every last bit of your humanity.”
Rebecca lowered her head and sniffled softly. Then, with a sudden thud, she slid off the chair and dropped to her knees in front of Agnes.

‘m sorry, Agnes. I was wrong, I was blind. I couldn’t see things clearly. I was too full of myself.

“I thought you were trying to stop me from living a better life, that you were deliberately making things hard for me. But I truly didn’t know Ethan was that kind of man.
“When I saw that video yesterday, my heart broke. I was completely fooled. I’m sorry. You’ve always treated me well. You’ve always helped me
“I’m terrible. Please forgive me one last time, Agnes. I really know I was wrong now.
“The baby in my belly isn’t Ethan’s. I… sob… I don’t even know who the father is.
“I’m a victim too. I really didn’t know anything. Please forgive me, Agnes. Don’t drive me away.
“In Grandridge, I have no family and no friends besides you. Please take me in for the sake of the baby. He’s innocent.
“Don’t send me away, please, Agnes. I swear I will never do anything foolish to hurt you again. Sob…”
Agnes looked at her and said calmly, “I won’t do anything to you, and I won’t call the police either. This is the last kindness I’ll show you. Go.”
Rebecca looked up and said, “Thank you, Agnes. I really went too far, and thank you for forgiving me.
“But… the Nolans threw me out. I have nowhere to go. I’m already pretty far along, and everything’s difficult now.”
“I want to go back to your side, back to Tidewhisper Lily. Can we go back to how things were before, like none of this ever happened?
“Believe me, I’ve learned my lesson. I truly won’t do anything foolish again. From now on, I will listen to everything you say.”
Agnes let out a quiet laugh, shook her head, and said, “Rebecca, I’ve already made it very clear.
“There is no going back between us. Ever. You crossed my bottom line.
“I’m not going to call the police, and I won’t come after you. That is already the greatest mercy I can give you. As for what comes next…
“Rebecca, no one is going to clean up your mess forever or keep paying for your misfortune and mistakes. You have to rely on yourself.”
