Jessica gripped Lilian’s shoulders tightly . “ Mom , please , help met you just take all the blame , you can save me ! You can protect
Lilian looked at Jessica , her heart heavy with years of regret . She had spent her whole life paving the way for Jessica , placing all her hopes on the latter . She had taught Jessica to climb to the top , o matter the cost – including stealing the identity Stanley’s lifesaver and the title of the richest inan’s daughter . She had silently allowed it all to happen .
But now , it all came back to haunt her . She was reaping the consequences of her choices .
It was her own selfishness , her own actions , that had shaped Jessica into who she was today .
And now , Lilian was about to be betrayed by her flesh and blood .
“ But I’m your mother … How can you be so heartless … ? ”
Jessica dropped to her knees in front of Lilian and grabbed the hem of Lilian’s pants .
“ Mon , I have no choice ! I have to make you disappear . If you love me , you’ll help me . Please , I’m begging you . ”
Lilian looked at Jessica with a heart full of pain and betrayal . A bitter , self – mocking laugh escaped her lips .
It was over .
This was her fate , after all .
The moment Harry died , she should’ve known her destiny . The mystery of Jessica’s birth had to be buried with blood .
Lilian closed her eyes .
Wendy had returned from the hospital . Her baby was healthy , but she had been in shock and needed to stabilize her emotions for the baby’s sake .
Harry had died protecting her , and something didn’t sit right . She couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was connected , that there was more to the story .
She turned to Edith . “ Where’s Lilian ? ”
Edith’s eyes were swollen from crying . “ Don’t mention that witch ! She killed my son – I want her to pay with her life ! ”
At that moment , Horace walked in . “ Hello , Wendy . ”
Wendy looked at him , her eyes hard . “ Lilian tried to kill me , and Harry took the knife for me . ”
Horace nodded , his face somber . “ I know . ”
“ Do you also know Jessica is an accomplice ? ”
Horace’s brows furrowed in confusion . “ What do you mean ? ”
“ She came into the ward with Lilian . Lilian tried to stab me , but Jessica is just as guilty ! ” Wendy’s voice was sharp , filled with
accusation .
Horace’s face hardened . “ Jessica’s my daughter . ”
Stanley , standing by Wendy’s side , spoke up . “ Even if Jessica’s your daughter , you can’t ignore or condone her actions . In fact , it’s because she’s your daughter that you should be the one to hold her accountable . ”
Horace fell silent , his gaze distant .
Wendy pressed on . “ Where’s Lilian ? I want to see her . ”

“ I locked her in a room , ” Horace replied calmly . “ I’ll take you to her . ”
Wendy nodded , her mind racing with questions . She had to ask Lillan about Harry – something about all of this didn’t make
sense .
Wendy , Stanley , and Horace made their way to the small room . A black – suited guard opened the door .
“ Lilian’s been inside , ” Horace said ,
“ Alright , ” Wendy said , her voice tight with determination .
They entered together , andshe called out , “ Lilian , I want to ask you about Harry … ”
Her words stopped dead in their tracks . Lilian was lying in a pool of blood .
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat . She rushed forward , quickly feeling for a pulse . There was nothing . No heartbeat .
Lilian had killed herself , smashing her head against the wall , leaving a trail of blood .
Stanley and Horace stood frozen for a moment , shocked . They stepped forward , their voices low with disbelief .
“ She’s not breathing anymore . She’s gone . ”
Lilian’s death took everything with her – every secret , every answer .
