Because it wasn’t just Victoria who was furious–Vance, Aspen, and Geneva were burning with anger too.

Amid the chaos, Aspen was strangely quiet.

If regret could bloom into flowers, the garden of his heart would already be a sea of color.

In this moment, he finally woke up.

Brie was the Woods‘ adopted daughter. Even after 18 years, she was still adopted.

How could an adopted daughter truly care for their family from the heart?

The one who truly cared…

Was Cassia.

He had just gone to see her after work today.

“Heh… hahaha…”

A broken laugh escaped him, growing louder, edged with something almost unstable.

They had cherished the fake, the manipulative, the venomous one like treasure. And the one who had been sincere…. they had shut her out.

Cassia had once approached them with a heart full of familial affection.

And what had they done?

They had taken that heart and smashed it to the ground.

Again and again, they had crushed it under their feet. They had thrown it away, stepped on it, and trampled it.

They deserved the coldness Cassia showed him and the entire Woods,.

In his heart, he swore that from this day forward, he would cherish Cassia the way he cherished his own life.

While Aspen’s mind churned, Brie had already taken several blows from Victoria. Like a cornered rat, she scrambled away until she tripped over herself in front of Vance, tangling her right leg with her left and falling hard at his feet.

“Sob… Dad, I didn’t mean to! I–I really didn’t! I just wanted to pull Danica downstairs. She happened to be standing at the top of the stairs. I pushed her by accident… Dad, it’s true!” Brie clutched Vance’s pant leg, tears streaming down her face.

Vance looked down at her, sobbing and disheveled.

So it was an accident.

He stepped forward and demanded, “If it was an accident, why didn’t you say so before? Why frame Cassia? Why claim Cassia pushed her?”

That question snapped Victoria and Vance back to reality. They suddenly realized just how deeply they had wronged Cassia.

Brie trembled as she answered, “I–I was too scared at the time. My mouth slipped. I meant to admit it, but somehow Cassia’s name just came out…”

Danica burst out, “Do you even know how much Cassia suffered because of your lie? Dad wanted to send her to Yavaria. Grandma was so furious that she almost wanted to kill her! All of that should’ve been yours to bear! But because of one careless accusation, Cassia became your scapegoat! You owe her!”

Brie stared blankly at Danica.

It wasn’t Danica’s words that stunned her. It was the complete shift in her attitude.

Just days ago, she had been calling her “sis” so sweetly…

Wait.

Brie replayed Danica’s righteous fury now, combined with the black plastic bag earlier…

Has Danica been pretending to get close to me on purpose? Just to gather evidence?

The more she thought back over the past few days, the clearer it became.
