Eartha trembled uncontrollably, looking like a woman pushed entirely past her breaking point. She screamed indignantly.

"You're slandering me! What evil have I ever committed? When have I ever targeted the elderly or children? Just because I was worried about Andrea and went to beg Fiona for help and she happened to faint from the stress you're trying to put me in a coffin, Remington! What gives you the right?!"

Remington let out a dry, hollow laugh.

"Slandering you? You never targeted the elderly or children? Then please, explain how exactly my grandmother and Nelson Madden both ended up in the emergency room? And if you didn't target a child, how miraculously did you become the savior of Ableson's daughter? How did you manage to make him so overwhelmingly grateful that he practically begged to give you his kidney?"

Remington stared her down, his icy gaze dripping with absolute contempt.

Eartha's heart skipped a terrifying beat. His words...

Did he actually know the truth about how she 'saved' Ableson's daughter?

Impossible!

She had executed that plan flawlessly. There was no paper trail.

"What on earth are you implying? My wife has a heart of gold! She saw a little girl being dragged away by kidnappers and risked her own safety to intervene! She personally rushed the child to the hospital and saved her life! Ableson is a single father, and that girl is his entire world. He was eternally grateful for what she did. It was only later, when they bumped into each other at the hospital and he found out she was dying, that he discovered they were a match and offered his kidney! This is her good karma for saving a life!"

Conrad pulled Eartha tightly against his side, his defense loud and unwavering.

Remington looked at him with utter disgust. Standing up, he sneered.

"It really is pathetic how blind some men are. You're sleeping next to a monster and you don't even realize it."

Without another word, Remington turned to leave. Acting on pure instinct, Conrad stepped into his path.

"Remington, you're not going anywhere until you explain yourself! You don't get to hurl baseless accusations at my wife. And whatever filthy tactics you used to terrorize The Byron Family into revoking the organ donation, you—"

Remington cut him off instantly.

"Terrorize them? I never said I did anything of the sort."

With a hard shove, Remington knocked Conrad out of his way and strode toward the door.

Conrad stumbled back in confusion. Cedric followed right behind his boss, throwing Conrad a look of pure pity and disgust.

"Use your brain for five seconds, Conrad. Do you really believe in fairy-tale coincidences? She just 'happens' to save a random child, and the father just happens to be a perfect organ maton?"

Ableson's wife had passed away from renal cancer a few years ago, leaving him to raise his seven-year-old daughter alone.

He worked long hours, and six months ago, while playing outside in the evening, his daughter had been snatched by human traffickers.

By absolute 'miracle,' Eartha spotted the abduction and intervened.

By the time the girl was rescued, the traffickers had beaten her to the brink of death.

The attackers escaped. Eartha rushed the bleeding child to the emergency room, covered all the surgical fees, and played the ultimate hero.

That was the official story. The reality was that when Ableson's wife was dying of cancer, he had submitted his medical profile to the hospital to see if he was a donor match.

He wasn't a match for his wife, but his DNA profile remained in the hospital database.

Eartha had illicitly combed through those records, discovered Ableson was a flawless match for her failing kidney, and orchestrated the entire kidnapping of his daughter.

The Byron Family only backed out of

the surgery because they finally

uncovered the truth: their so-called

'guardian angel' was the exact

monster who ordered the brutal.

assault on their little girl.

There was a reason Cedric called her a venomous snake. She exclusively preyed on the weak.

Nelson Madden had raised her as his own daughter, yet she plotted to steal his entire empire.

She nearly gave Fiona Dashiell a fatal heart attack without blinking an eye.

And just to harvest an organ, she orchestrated a kidnapping that left a seven-year-old girl with shattered bones and ruptured internal organs, confined to a hospital

ed in agony

for an entire month.
