Fiona met Warren's questioning gaze, lips pressed tight, then grabbed his hand,

holding on as if she'd never let go.

"Warren! They're just trying to tear us apart, you know that, right? You're my son!

Why would | ever hurt you?"

Her words eased sof the doubt in Warren's eyes. But Patrick wasn't about to

let them walk away without the truth coming out.

"| used to think a mother could never hurt her own child, but | was wrong. Fiona,

you would throw your own son under the bus for that good-for-nothing brother of

yours!"

"That's a lie! | never did such a thing! I've been the one looking after Warren all

these years—you have no right to judge me!" Fiona snapped, practically dragging

Warren toward the door. "Con, Warren, we don't need to stay here. Let's go."

Just as they turned to leave, Rupert stepped forward, blocking their way.

"Warren, you've hatedfor years. Don't you want to know the truth about the

accident?"

"Don't listen to him, Warren! Let's just get out of here!" Fiona's voice was frantic

now as she tried to pull Warren away.

But Warren wasn't a fool—he could sense something was off.

"Mom, what are you afraid of? All these years, you've sworn Uncle Rupert killed

Dad to take over the family, but Dad just said Rupert had nothing to do with it.

What really happened back then?"

"I don't know. Your dad died, Rupert was named the heir—it's only natural people

would think that!" Fiona tried to shrug it off.

Rupert's eyes narrowed. "Is that so? Then tell me, what happened to Hilbert that

night?"

At the mention of his uncle, Fiona's face went rigid.

Warren pressed, "Mom, what happened to Uncle Hilbert?"

Fiona let go of his hand, turning away in silence.

"She'll never tell you," Patrick said, stepping forward. "Because the one who hit

car!"

"Exactly. Do you really think I'd set something up that would put you in danger? |

Patrick shot a furious look at Fiona, who stood frozen, lips trembling, saying

nothing.

"Still won't admit it? Fine, I'll spell it

Patrick advanced on Fiona, his words cutting through the room.

Under everyone's eyes, Fiona finally broke, her voice cracking.

"Yes! | destroyed the evidence! He's

for help—what more did you want?

You were my husband, wasn't it right

now, gesturing to Warren. "But

Fiona shot back, her words slipping out before she could think. "He's my son! |

laced with heartbreak.

Her pain tugged at everyone's heartstrings. After all, she and Warren had only

had each other for years.

But Sylvia stepped forward, voice steady, cutting through the pity.

"No, Warren. She didn't do it for you."
