Hannah reacted right away and hurried after him. She grabbed his sleeve again, deliberately escalating the drama.

“Ethan, don’t be like this. I know you’re worried about Amelia, but we really didn’t do anything!” she cried, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe. “The police suspect that I told Isla to push her. They even accused us of messing with the surveillance cameras. That’s nonsense! If Isla really gets convicted, I could even lose custody of her!”

As she spoke, she shot Isla a look, hinting for her to cooperate and act pitiful.

But before the two of them could start another round of tears, Ethan suddenly stopped.

The softness in his eyes was gone, replaced with clear irritation.

“Stop embarrassing yourselves.

“If you have something to say, say it at home.”

Ethan opened the car door and got in without hesitation. He didn’t pause or look back.

Hannah stood there with Isla, stunned. The harsh lights outside the police station shone on their faces, making their pale expressions even more obvious.

A cold night wind blew past. Hannah shivered, resentment and fear flickering in her eyes.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and pulled Isla into the back seat.

The drive passed in complete silence.

Several times, Hannah tried to peek at Ethan through the rearview mirror, but all she saw was his stiff, emotionless profile.

She knew he was already starting to doubt her.

Back at the villa, Ethan took off his coat and handed it to a maid.

He didn’t even look at the two behind him and tossed out indifferently, “It’s late. Get some rest.”

With that, he went straight upstairs to his room, cutting off any chance Hannah had to explain herself.

“Mommy!” Isla finally whispered, unable to hold it back. “Does Ethan not believe us anymore? Is he going to throw us out?”

Hannah looked even worse than her daughter.

If Ethan kept investigating, he would find something sooner or later.

When that happened, staying in this house would be impossible. She and Isla would be finished.

Later that night, after everything went quiet, Hannah slipped toward the staff quarters behind

the villa.

She found Elodie organizing things in the storage room.

Elodie was an ordinary young maid. She was usually quiet, but hardworking enough.

“Elodie.” Hannah’s voice echoed in the empty hallway, making Elodie jump in fright.

“Ms. Gray?” Elodie turned around, panicking. “It’s so late. Why are you here?”

Hannah stepped closer, the dim light casting strange shadows across her face.

She got straight to the point. “I need you to do something. When it’s done, I’ll pay you this much.”

She raised five fingers.

“F–five hundred thousand?” Greed flashed in Elodie’s eyes.

Hannah curled her lips in disdain, her voice dripping with temptation. “It’s five million.”

Five million!

Elodie only made a few thousand a month. That number was beyond anything she’d ever imagined.

Her breathing quickened, her heart pounding wildly.

But she wasn’t stupid. She knew nothing came without a price.

With a trembling voice, she asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“Easy,” Hannah said lightly. “Go to the police and say you were the one who caused Amelia to fall down the stairs.”

Elodie jumped back, shaking her head hard. “N–no! I can’t! I’d go to jail!”

“Jail?” Hannah sneered and stepped closer. “What are you scared of? No one died. At worst, it’s intentional injury. You wouldn’t get that many years.
