The shocking revelation stunned everyone present, including the passersby.
Harrison glanced at Logan and knew he’d done it on purpose. But since Logan had said it aloud, it couldn’t be a lie. Harrison frowned slightly but didn’t intervene.
Anastasia immediately asked, “What’s going on?”
Logan glanced at Susan and said calmly, “I was over there just now and overheard the medical staff talking. They said a high school student’s mother embezzled the money for his medication, and he ended up taking vitamins as a placebo. His condition worsened, and he had to be rushed to the emergency room.”
“Susan?!”
Ryan’s voice, sharp with anger, cut through the air. He hadn’t known about this; Susan had told him Carter was in the hospital simply because he’d taken a cold shower.
Susan’s expression was one of pure panic. “Ryan… n-no, it’s not like that! Let me explain!”
Ryan’s face was a stone mask. “Then explain.”
Susan was speechless. She looked at Carter, hoping he would say something in her defense, but he remained just as he was before—quiet and silent, his eyes fixed on the book in his hands, with no intention of speaking.
Finally, with no other choice, she bit her lip, her eyes turning red. “I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just… Lennon was in trouble, and I had no other way. Please don’t be angry, okay?”
So, it was an admission!
Anastasia’s lips curled into a smirk. “What were you saying just a moment ago, Mrs. Young? That you had no interest in the Lancaster family’s money, that you just hoped everyone would stop being so prejudiced against you? I almost thought I’d actually misunderstood you. Turns out, it’s not that you don’t want the Lancaster family’s money; you just want both the money and the reputation, so you won’t take it openly!”
“Didn’t the money for Carter’s medication come from the Lancasters? You were certainly quick to take that! To risk your own son’s life for such a small amount of money… how noble of you!”
Susan’s face flushed a deep crimson as she snapped, “I’m not that kind of person! Don’t you dare make things up!”
“Am I not speaking the truth?”
