But when she thought about how miserable her current situation was, she forced those doubts back down.
What if she was just reading too much into everything?
After accepting Mason’s protection, she could not be the one to break that fragile balance.
So Amelia quietly withdrew her gaze, like a snail retreating into its shell.
But the truth was, if she had asked, Mason would not have hidden anything from her.
Meanwhile, Ethan, Hannah, and Isla were on their way back to Rowe Villa.
The air inside the car was unbearably tense, almost suffocating.
Ethan sat with a dark expression, an icy chill radiating from his entire body.
He said nothing as he stared at Hannah and Isla in the back seat. They were still clinging to each other and crying.
There was a time when that heartbreaking scene would easily stir his emotions.
But now, what kept replaying in his mind was Amelia’s cold statement.
“I fell right at the bottom of the living room staircase. The floor there … it’s covered in my blood.”
If Amelia had not been lying, then someone must have cleaned every trace of blood before he got home, leaving nothing behind.
Soon, the car screeched to a stop in front of Rowe Villa.
Ethan practically kicked the door open as he got out and strode straight into the living room.
Hannah and Isla were startled by his behavior and hurried inside after him.
“Miles! Go to the security room and pull all the footage from yesterday. I want the footage covering the living room and the staircase from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.”
The elderly butler was frightened by the murderous aura surrounding Ethan. He froze for a moment before answering quickly, “Yes, Mr. Rowe.”

After giving the order, Ethan turned around sharply.

The eyes that had once held only tenderness toward Hannah now fixed on her like a hawk’s.
Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, his gaze reflected something terrifyingly dark.
Step by step, he walked toward Hannah.
That look made Hannah’s heart pound in fear. She instinctively took a step back, her voice trembling. “Ethan, you … what’s wrong?”
“Tell me the truth.
“Was it really… Isla?”
Hannah’s heart clenched sharply, her fingertips turning cold in an instant.
She knew this moment had finally come.
On the drive back from the hospital, she had already played through every possible scenario and response in her mind.
Ethan was not stupid. Amelia’s words were more than enough to plant a seed of doubt in his heart.
She simply hadn’t expected his anger to erupt so quickly.
Still, Hannah was no simple–minded airhead.
After a brief moment of panic, she quickly steadied herself.
The frightened look on her face remained unchanged. But beneath it, her eyes were filled with cold calculation.
She knew that at this moment, any explanation or denial would be useless and would only deepen Ethan’s suspicion.
To turn the situation around, she had to take a risky step.
With that decision made, Hannah suddenly spun around, raised her hand, and slapped Isla hard across the face!
Isla staggered from the blow. A clear red handprint appeared on her pale little face almost instantly.
The pain made her burst into tears uncontrollably.
