Seeing Tara get angry only made Roxanne more excited.

“That child is from some random guy. I even had people look into it. That man’s background isn’t clean either. He-”

Before she could finish, Tara slammed her palm on the table. “Enough!”

“Mrs. Jackson, please don’t be angry.”

Roxanne hid the emotion in her eyes and pulled out a stack of photos from her bag. “I know this is hard for you to accept, but everything I said is true. Look … this is the proof!”

Tara looked down. The table was covered in all kinds of photos. All of them showed Dawn with another man, and … a child.

Watching the middle–aged woman sit there without moving, Roxanne slowly curled her lips into a smile. “Mrs. Jackson, don’t blame Dawn… She hid it from you because she cared too much. That’s why she didn’t dare to tell you.”

“Of course, she cares too much.”

Tara came back to herself and gathered up all the photos.

Her voice was icy. “Mr. West really knows how to raise daughters. You two sisters are completely different.”

Her tone was flat, giving nothing away.

Roxanne smiled. “You flatter me, Mrs. Jackson.”

“But I did hear that Dawn wasn’t really disciplined when she was with the Osbornes, so it’s normal that her personality is different from mine.”

Tara paused, then looked up with a smile. “Ms. West, you don’t really think I was complimenting you, do you?”

Roxanne froze. “What?”

“And I don’t think we’re close enough for house visits.”

Tara leaned back into her chair. Without doing anything, her air of refinement and authority spread quietly through the room.

“I gave you a bit of courtesy because you’re Dawn’s sister, and you barely count as Ethan’s friend. And since this was a young people’s matter, I didn’t want to interfere.”

She frowned as she looked at Roxanne.

“But now you’re taking your schemes straight to my face. Do you think I’m stupid?”

“N–no!”

How did it come to this?

Roxanne shook her head again and again. After hesitating, she rushed forward and grabbed Tara’s hand. “Mrs. Jackson, I just don’t want you to be fooled by Dawn… She’s a liar! She’s promiscuous and tangled up with multiple men. She doesn’t deserve Ethan at all!”

“Then who does?”

Tara looked at her coolly.

“You?”

Roxanne opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“I didn’t dislike you that much before, but what you did today wiped out the very last bit of goodwill I had toward you.”

Tara brushed her hand away, her voice full of disappointment and impatience. “What Dawn has done, or whether she tells us or not, is her own business. It’s not your place to tell me. And what right do you have to call yourself her sister?

“After enjoying that family’s kindness for so many years, you turn around and stab her in the back. Ms. West, you’ve truly opened my eyes.”

By now, she had no desire to stay another second.

Tara stood and looked down at the woman half–sitting on the floor. She said coldly, “We don’t have room for someone like you. You’d better go back to where you came from. I won’t see you out.”

It was a blunt dismissal with no grace at all. Roxanne’s face went from pale to red and back again.

Tara didn’t spare her another glance. She picked up the photos from the table and went inside.

“Dawn…”

Roxanne clenched her fingers hard and ground her teeth. “What did you feed this family to brainwash them like this? Why do they side with you? Why?!”

This trip had been nothing but humiliation.

She could understand Ethan’s unconditional tolerance of Dawn.

But why… Why didn’t Tara have any reaction at all?

The more Roxanne thought about it, the less she could understand it. She even felt certain there had to be something else going on.

She pushed herself upright against the chair, her gaze turning almost obsessive. “No… I have to get to the bottom of this. I have to find out exactly what’s going on between the Jacksons and Dawn!”

“Is she gone?”

By the time Tara asked Hannah that, Roxanne’s car had just driven out of the complex.

“She’s gone.” Hannah glanced outside again and sighed. “I really don’t know where she gets that kind of persistence. She’s like a cockroach that won’t die. With that attitude, how could Ethan ever fall for her?”

A normal person would already be annoyed to death, let alone Ethan.

“She’s probably sick in the head.”

Tara’s mood was dark. She deeply regretted having wasted so much time on Roxanne before.

Her eyes shifted to the photos on the coffee table.

She picked them up again and looked.

The man in the photos didn’t look terrible, but he was dark–skinned and rough–looking. He didn’t seem like a good person at all.

“Hannah, do you think … Dawn really had something with this man?”

Hannah studied them carefully. After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke.

“I don’t think so. This guy … doesn’t match Dawn’s taste at all.”

“I think so too.” Tara finally let out a sigh of relief, then relaxed even more. “As for whether Benjamin is really Ethan’s child, what’s there to worry about? Letting him be the dad is good enough.”
