Conrad West actually thought a vicious woman like her was kind-hearted. He had to be completely blind.
Cedric scoffed. He felt he had made himself clear enough; Conrad should have at least been suspicious enough to look into the truth.
But to his surprise, Conrad only paused for a moment before snapping angrily.
"This is just a case of good people being rewarded! How could there possibly be such a coincidence?"
Cedric was left utterly speechless. He let out a dry laugh and quickly turned to follow Remington Dashiell out the door.
As soon as they left, Eartha Porter Madden collapsed into Conrad's arms, weeping silently.
"I shouldn't have gone to beg Fiona Dashiell for Andrea's sake..."
Conrad helped her sit down, gently wiping away her tears.
"You didn't do anything wrong. They're the ones being completely unreasonable and pushing things too far!"
Eartha's face was an unhealthy, ashen shade. Leaning against Conrad, she continued.
"You know how it is, honey. Ever since I donated a kidney to Elsa, my health has never been the same. My immune system is shot, I get tired easily, and just walking a few extra steps makes the world spin.
I did it willingly. Trading one of my kidneys and half my life's health to give Elsa three more years of life—I thought it was worth it!
I never expected anyone to be grateful forever, but they shouldn't back me into a corner like this."
She looked up at Conrad, her eyes swimming with tears.
"Honey, Remington is desperate to win Liz back. Logically, he shouldn't be so ruthless toward us. Isn't he worried Liz will be furious with him when she wakes up? Do you think... maybe Liz is already awake, and Remington is doing all this with her permission?"
This was exactly what Eartha suspected.
Remington was being entirely too harsh. After all, they were Lizetta's biological father and stepmother.

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
