Whispers filled the room, a chorus of shock and skepticism. The crowd had already passed judgment on Conrad West, clearly siding with Lizetta's version of events.
No one was foolish enough to ignore the glaring truth after the Porter family had gone to such desperate lengths.
Conrad, humiliated by the public execution of his character, flushed bright red. Driven by a volatile mix of shame and rage, he raised his voice.
"Liz, you can't drag your father's name through the mud like this! You snatched that car right out of Andrea's hands. The brake failure was a tragic accident! How could you suspect me? You are my only daughter. A father protects his own. I could never do something so horrific to you!"
Lizetta offered a saccharine smile and nodded. "Oh, so if you didn't do it, your wife did? And let me guess, was it also your wife who swapped me at birth?"
Conrad was speechless.
Instantly, all eyes shifted to Eartha Porter Madden.
The implications sent chills down everyone's spines.
Eartha's vision darkened. She had always maintained a stellar reputation in Tranquil Meadows.
When she donated a kidney to Elsa Madden, people praised her selflessness.
Even though her marriage to Conrad had sparked rumors, her devotion to Andrea and her sacrifice of biological motherhood had salvaged her image over the years.
Basking in praise, she had genuinely started to believe her own saintly facade.
But now, that beautiful mask was being violently ripped away, exposing a grotesque truth underneath. A violent shudder wracked Eartha's frame.

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....
