As she spoke, she observed Lillie's expression, noticing the girl's face looked off, as if she felt guilty and regretful.

Lilah's breath caught as she turned to Joselyn, who was so absorbed in her daughter's plight that she overlooked Lillie entirely.

Lilah couldn't help but make some assumptions and conjectures.

"Lilah, how did Miranda get hurt? Who could harbor such a deep grudge against her? It's unbelievable!" Joselyn's voice was cold and frightening, a stark contrast to her previous gentle demeanor.

"To be honest, she was hurt by her stepsister, " Lilah sighed softly." No one saw it coming. The strangest part is, the perpetrator was confused after committing the act, as if she was under some external influence and didn't know what she had done wrong."

Joselyn furrowed her brows, "How could this be... "

She lowered her head, lost in thought.

"I bet that stepsister just couldn't stand your sister and lashed out in anger. She didn't have time to escape and was caught by you. Of course, she wouldn't dare tell the truth, so she lied about not knowing anything. We've seen plenty like her.

It's just you guys who are gullible enough to believe it, "

Lillie said with her arms crossed, looking out the window.

Lilah continued, "Is that so? Maybe, but it doesn't feel that way to us. After all, my stepsister's life is in my sister's hands. She's not foolish enough to bite the hand that feeds her."

"Then isn't it possible she wanted to bring everyone down with her?" Lillie's voice turned sharp.

"Lillie, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so agitated?"

Joselyn also seemed puzzled, standing up to hold Lillie's hand.

Just then, Gerard came in from outside. Seeing Joselyn there, he greeted her warmly.

"How's the investigation going?" Lilah asked.

Gerard paused for a moment before responding, "Recently, my sister hasn't been in contact with any suspicious people. As for Justina, she went out once two weeks ago, accompanied by a servant to the mall."

"She went to the mall two weeks ago... Joselyn murmured, repeating the words as if something had dawned on her.

She quickly glanced at her daughter. Lillie kept her head down, but her eyes were furtively fixed on Gerard, again and again.

Joselyn felt a sinking feeling in her heart, trying to suppress the terrifying suspicion that was forming in her mind.

"Let's continue to follow this lead. Also, don't let anyone else visit. My sister needs her rest, " Lilah said." By the way, has the hypnotic influence on Justina been lifted?"

She looked at Gerard, raising an eyebrow.

He coughed subtly, "Not yet. Cyrus is still working on it. He said there will be results soon."

"Crash!" The glass slipped from Lillie's hand, shattering on the floor.
