Brendan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before continuing. “Elaine admitted that the person who hurt her wasn’t Lauren?”

Kenneth turned pale, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the chaotic scene at the hospital. Back then, Lauren had been desperately trying to prove her innocence, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

And he had blindly obstructed Elaine from identifying Willow. Now, recalling that day, his heart ached and his guilt towards Lauren deepened.

Kenneth slowly began to speak, his voice deep and heavy as if each word weighed a ton, “No, it wasn’t

Lauren.”

“Who was it then?” Brielle stared intensely at Kenneth, her voice tense with anger, “Who was so cruel to push Elaine down the stairs? If Elaine hadn’t been lucky, she would have died.”

This time, Kenneth fell silent. He and his sister had grown up with Willow, and he knew her character better than anyone.

The incident five years ago might not have been Lauren’s doing, and it certainly wasn’t Willow acting maliciously. It was likely that Willow had accidentally bumped into Elaine, who then lost her balance and fell down the stairs.

Moreover, Elaine was Willow’s best friend. Willow had no reason to harm her.

Ultimately, he blamed Elaine herself for her clumsiness, which he believed led to the fall.

And Lauren too, why admit to something you didn’t do? If you hadn’t confessed, you wouldn’t have served five years in prison, and I wouldn’t be feeling guilty now. Kenneth thought, completely forgetting that initially, it wasn’t about whether Lauren admitted guilt.

It was because Elliot gave false testimony, Alice deleted surveillance footage, and Lucas, as the defense attorney, twisted the facts, while he, Kenneth, never gave Lauren a chance to explain.

It was them, the people closest to Lauren, who had pushed her into the abyss.

Now, he blamed Lauren for not proving her innocence, forgetting that she had no evidence to do so.

“Just say it!” Brielle shouted, driven by her emotions.

Kenneth remained tight–lipped, refusing to reveal the name, his attitude of shielding the real culprit thoroughly infuriating Brendan and Brielle.

Elaine was their younger daughter, pampered and cherished from a young age. As a noble of the Gray Corporation group, she could get whatever she wanted, the princess held in the palm of the entire family.

Yet, this beloved daughter had been transformed by her vegetative state. As parents, seeing their precious child in such a condition was heart–wrenching.

Imprisoning Lauren had not quenched their thirst for revenge, which is why they had people torment Lauren in prison. Now, to be told they had targeted the wrong person…

And their son was still protecting the real culprit.
