Danna remained displeased, stating, "Cease such insinuations. Now I suspect Lilah orchestrated this. Deliberately framing me!"

"You suggest I'd sacrifice even my own son's life just to incriminate you?" Lilah sneered.

However, she didn't think Danna would do anything to harm Jerrold.

It was clear to Lilah that Danna harbored no fondness for her; her affections were reserved for Jerrold.

Danna must have been taken advantage of.

“Who knows what devious motives were at play in your mind? Perhaps you aimed to manipulate your father's guilt into relinquishing more property to you," Danna insinuated with a smirk, as though she saw through Lilah's facade.

Lilah seethed with indignation.

While the Morris family wielded considerable influence, Lilah remained unfazed, confident in her ability to amass wealth through her endeavors.

“Mother, what are you insinuating?" Absolon's countenance darkened with displeasure.

"Dad, please refrain," Lilah interjected softly. "I believe this matter bears no relation to Grandma. It's plausible that a careless servant is to blame."

Upon discovering Jerrold's assailant, there was no need to further distress Absolon.

Under the veil of night, Lilah arrived at the hospital and recounted to Gerard the day's events in full detail.

“Is Karol your prime suspect?" he queried with a somber tone.

“I'm beyond suspicion; I'm certain." Lilah's nonchalant shrug spoke volumes. "She likely aims to thwart my participation in tomorrow's competition, but I won't yield to her desires."

Drawing a deep breath, Gerard inquired, "What's your plan?"

After tenderly tucking Jerrold in, Lilah gently caressed his cherubic visage. "You see, I always exact vengeance upon those who wrong me. If she dares to harm Jerrold, she'll endure what he's endured."

Her tone was icy.

The following morning marked the official commencement of the Taekwondo competition.

Over fifty participants took part, engaging in three rounds where matchups were determined by random selection each time.

In the initial round, half of the participants faced direct elimination, followed by further eliminations in the subsequent round.

The third round saw the remaining contestants vying for victory until only the top three remained.

Before the draw, a medical professional conducted examinations to ensure compliance with medication restrictions.

Lilah smoothly passed her examination and drew a formidable opponent.

Her adversary appeared robust and towering, displaying impressive abdominal muscles.
