| was reminded of the tEdward fell ill as | watched Sally’s tic shift in attitude.

Back then, she had also spoken toin the softest, most pleading tone, doing anything she could to convince

But the moment | refused, the act would drop, and she'd reveal her true nature, lashing out with vicious insults

and curses.

Now, | only faintly smiled after staring at her for a moment.

“Why should I? Your family has treatedlike a fool all this time, using lies to manipulatewhenever it suited

you.

“You beggedwhen | was useful, then lashed out once that was over. Haven't you all taken enough from me?

Are you seriously still trying to guilt-trip me?”

Soren didn’t say a word, simply pushing my wheelchair forward again.

“Taylor! Things are different this time! We've truly realized our mistakes, and Edith’s actions have harmed you

because of her own recklessness. Edward too...

“Our whole family owes you a debt we can never repay, but please... I'm begging you, Edith can’t go to prison.

She won't survive it... It will kill her!”

Sally suddenly rushed forward, blocking my wheelchair, and then dropped to her knees with a heavy thud.

Jean and Cherry were shocked, their eyes wide, while | only frowned.

The Kennedys, who were close by, gasped in unison. | couldn't tell if they were mocking her or actually feeling

sorry for her.

“Taylor, please... Please spare my daughter...” Sally cried out in desperation.

She no longer cared about her dignity as the mistress of a wealthy family, kneeling beforeand begging for

mercy.

| still remembered the first trial of my divorce from Edward

Back then, she had also knelt, but to her own son, begging him to divorceso Edith could be free.

And now, she was doing the sthing to me, for the sreason.

Her love for her daughter was selfless, noble, and touching at least from a mother’s perspective.

But to me, it meant nothing but another plea forto sacrifice myself.

“Mrs. Kennedy-"

Before | could finish, an angry roar sliced through the air. “Mom, get up! Why are you kneeling before her?!”

Edward pushed his wheelchair aside and staggered forward, but his legs gave out before he could reach Sally.

Whether from anxiety or lingering weakness from his illness, he lost his balance and fell.

“Edward!” Sally cried out in panic.

She reached out instinctively to protect him but was too slow to catch him. In the end, they both collapsed

together.
