Soren approached with steady steps and stopped in front of us. His sharp features were calm, betraying no
emotion. Yet, his silence carried an intensity that made anyone uneasy.
“You still haven't answered my question, Mrs. Kennedy,” he said, fixing his gaze on Sally once more.
Sally’s lips trembled.
After a long pause, she forced a smile and attempted to play nice. “Mr. Kenway... When my family and | attended
your mother’s birthday party, | had a lovely conversation with her. She kept tellinghow much she hopes that
you”
“Have you been so overwhelmed lately that you're misremembering things, Mrs. Kennedy? | don’t recall you ever
being so close with my mother, but | do remember you and your daughter being a significant embarrassment to
yourselves.”
Soren exposed Sally’s lie without hesitation.

The Kennedys’ expressions shifted in shock as they turned to Sally.
“What does he mean, Sally? Didn't you say Mrs. Kenway adores Edith and was even considering—*
“Oh! You must have misheard me!” Sally quickly denied it. “I was talking about another Mrs. Kenway, not Lisbeth
Kenway!”
Sally seemed nervous, stealing several glances at Soren as she spoke.
| observed the scene with quiet amusement from the sidelines.
Sally had deliberately brought Edith to Lisbeth’s birthday party, hoping to catch Soren’s attention and secure a
place in the Kenway family through marriage.
However, her plans had backfired spectacularly. Unbeknownst to her, | had also attended the party, and the
evening ended in disaster for them, leaving Edith’s reputation in tatters.
This explained why Edith had tried to drug me. Her motive wasn’t merely to help Edward trapinto staying
with the Kennedys-she had sought revenge.
She must have despisedfor humiliating her at the party. Perhaps she even believed that if | were ensnared
by the Kennedys, Soren would never consider me, leaving her with a chance to win him over.
The absurdity of her reasoning madelaugh.
Turning to Sally, | spoke bluntly. “As | see it, you were infatuated with Mr. Kenway and his family’s status. You
orchestrated Edith’s attempt to seduce him, hoping she could secure a place in his family, didn’t you?”
Soren frowned and turned toward me.
Sensing he was about to snap, | quickly added, “But of course, that’s just your wishful thinking. I'm sure Mr.
Kenway’s standards aren't that low.”
Soren’s face softened, and he even smiled a little.
On the other hand, Sally was furious. “That's enough, Taylor! Who are you calling low?!”
| had initially planned to vent my frustration by giving Sally a hard time, but | chose not to once Soren arrived.
Not wanting to complicate things for him, | decided to end the battle then and there.
“I suggest you speak with my lawyer rather than waste your ton me, Mrs. Kennedy. Who knows? You might

convince him to get your daughter a lighter sentence.”
Jean understood my meaning and began to moveaway.
Unexpectedly, Soren took a large step forward, now standing; besidein an instant.
“I'll take it from here,” he said.
Jean grinned and stepped aside.
The Kennedys, too afraid to act out with Soren behind my wheelchair, stepped aside to give way.
But Sally wasn’t ready to give up yet.
How could she, with her daughter on the verge of facing prison?
“Taylor... Taylor, please... Wait!”
She ran afterand grabbed the armrest of my wheelchair her previous arrogance replaced by desperation.
Her voice trembled as she pleaded, “I apologize on Edith’s behalf for everything she’s done to you, okay? Your
lawyer toldthat the judge will only consider a lighter sentence for Edith if you agree to settle.
“She's already suffered enough because of what she did. Are you really going to send her to prison to make her
suffer even more?”
