Sanders die next?"

Bill had clearly spoilt her so much that she no longer krew what was appropriate to say or do, especially at

someone else's funeral.

Sadie was lurling insults, just to feel a fleeting moment of satisfaction in her quest for revenge.

The crowd buzzed with whispers. Seeing the rising tersion, Ashley grabbed her by the arm, trying to pull her

away. "That's enough, Sadie. Why waste so much breath on them? Let's go Sadie always listened to him. She

followed Ashley without protest.

But she didn't see Anna clutching her stomach, glaring at her retreating back with the eyes of a vengeful

spirit.

| quietly recorded Sadie's arrogant performance at the funeral and sent the video to Bill.

This mother-daughter duo had been on their high horse for far too long. It was tto bring them down.

Twenty years of debts. The debt of trying to force Mom to miscarry. And the truth behind that Cinderella man. I'll

reveal it all.

I didn't mock the Sanders openly, but | watched silently as Anna clutched her abdomen, unwell. She hurried to

the hospital to secure her pregnancy.

Who knows if the baby she's carrying will survive long enough for the test results to cback?

The oppressive air of the wake made it hard to breathe, | decided to leave. As | was walking out to the parking

lot, | saw Sadie and Ashley making out passionately in their car.

So, the saying goes: rotten roots yield rotten fruits. Sadie was just like her mother, through and through.

When it comes to picking men, their tastes are cerily alike.

After they'd had their fill, they drove off. | told my driver to follow them. Their car eventually stopped at

Moonlit Grove.

Conveniently, the property belonged to the Boltons, who managed the real estate and the community. A single

phone call was all it took to pull up the owner of the house.

Sadie.

A single hhere cost millions. After flaunting his wealth at auctions, Ashley drained all his savings and even

embezzled company funds.

Where could he possibly find the money to buy Sadie a house in such a short time?

There was only one answer: Bill.

Just as | had helped Sadie transfer all her assets to keep her out of trouble, Bill went and gave her new ones.

right after.

A spoiled, entitled brat like her always had a clueless eribler behind them.

And for Sadie, that enabler was Bill

Still, 1 was curious how Bill would react when he found out who Sadie really was!

Ashley dropped Sadie off at Moonlit Grove and left. No long after, Bill's car cspeeding into the neighborhood.

"What are you doing here?" He set down his coffee cup without taking a sip, his voice

for dinner?"

She acted as though the t| made her apologize had never happened.

Sadie, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as tactful. She stormed into the room arrogantly. "Zoey! You tartled. on

me, and now you dare cto my house? Get out!" Ignoring her outburst, | walked straight toward Bill.

My voice was cold and steady as | questioned, "What are you doing here? What happened to the promises you

made me?"

Bill's face flushed with panic. "Zoey, look, they've got no one else to rely on. Sadie is my daughter, after all. |

can't just watch her freeze to death in sforeign country."

| laughed, a bitter sound. "So, everything you promisedto get her out of trouble means nothing now? Buying

her a house, a car, showering her with luxury-you've already forgotten what she did?"

Bill said, "I haven't forgotten. She's paid the price for her mistakes. Zoey, we're family. Can't you let the past go?

| swear they won't bother you or your mom anymore. |-"

"Dad, do you remember what | told you? You can't have your cake and eat it too. You made your choice back

then-you chose us. If you want to break that promise, then let Mom go. Divorce her."

The word "divorce" made his face darken instantly. "What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of child tells

their parent to get a divorce?"

"Zoey, | only want to be with your father. You have nothing to worry about-I won't fight your mom for anything.

Monica chimed in, playing the victim and lowering herself pathetically.

| chuckled coldly and said, "Every tmy dad comes bome, you find sexcuse to drag him away. If you

weren't fighting for anything, you'd have left ages ago. Instead, you cling to him like a leech "That's enough,

Zoey. This isn't your house, and Monica is still your elder. Look at yourself-what kind of

behavior is this?"

Bill clearly irritated by my constant challenges to his authority as the head of the family, deliberately put on a

stern, condescending tone, trying to assert his dominance. "So, you're set on continuing this, huh?" | asked

coldly.

"Zoey, you're young. The world isn't black and white-here are shades of gray. | promise my heart is with your

mom. | just check up on them occasionally. Stop bring so aggressive." "Fine, Bill. Have it your way." | said, turning

on my heel to leave.

He moved to follow me, but Sadie stopped him. "Dad, don't go yet. You haven't tried the meal | made. It's my

first tcooking.

Later, at my

mom's house, | saw a photo Sadie had posted-a picture of her, Monica, and Bill, all smiles. looking like the

perfect family. Mom noticedstaring at my phone.

"What are you looking at?" she asked, placing sfood on my plate.

"Nothing." | said, smiling faintly. "Mom, do you have a favorite country? Have you ever thought about where

you'd like to live while you're pregnant?"

"Mel"

She touched her slightly rounded belly. "I haven't thought about it."

"Well, now's the tto start. You've been tied to the Wilchers your whole life and trapped by the Gardners for

half of it. From now on, you deserve to live for yourself. | know Nicholas would follow you anywhere." After

everything we'd been through, it was clear that Nicholas, with his unwavering loyalty, was a far better match for

her than Bill.

| didn't know what the future held or what kind of battle lay ahead with that organization, but | did know this: |

didn't want Mom caught in the crossfire, not while she was carrying a child.

Once she divorced Bill, | hoped she'd pick a place she truly loved and start fresh.

"Zoey, is something going on?" She asked gently.

| reached out and placed a hand on her belly. "No, Mom. You'll be free soon, that's all.

Just then, Bill arrived, stepping into the room to find Mom andlaughing together.

His guilt was evident on his face, as he worried that | might tell Mom about the other family he was still

supporting.

"Darling," he called out, his voice hesitant as he walked over to us.

Mom didn't even glance at him. She didn't needto spell it out-she knew. After all, she's the one who'd shared

a bed with him all these years.

"I'm going upstairs to get srest. Zoey, you finish your meal."
