“Even now, you still refuse to acknowledge what you did!” Lyle’s eyes blazed with fury as he fixed his gaze on Kylee. “Do you honestly believe that Gretchen would have agreed to help you frame Belinda without securing some form of insurance for herself? She’s been safeguarding a recording of your entire conversation for all these years. Should I play it for you now?”
A faint light flickered in Mitchell’s eyes when he heard that.
As someone who had accompanied Lyle on the mission to track down Gretchen, he understood perfectly well that no such recording existed.
But Kylee remained completely oblivious to this.
When she saw Lyle’s resolve, her face began draining of all color.
“I… I was just scared that you would favor Belinda back then. Initially, you all treated her like she was completely invisible, but then, somehow, you began engaging her in conversations. When you took me on outings, you started extending invitations to Belinda as well. When you brought me thoughtful gifts, you made sure to prepare something for her! Why would you do such things? You are my relatives! You should all hate Belinda!”
Her facial expression twisted into something grotesque as she spoke.
Originally, her motivation for orchestrating Belinda’s return to the prestigious Happer family had stemmed from two calculated ives. On one hand, she had wanted Belinda to witness firsthand the extraordinary lifestyle she enjoyed, basking in the family’s unlimited devotion and adoration. She had craved watching Belinda burn with envy.
On the other hand, she had expected the other Happer family members to treat Belinda with cold indifference, ensuring her complete misery.
But things had spiraled out of her control.
She had been forced to take drastic action to stop it.
Lyle and Mitchell locked eyes in a moment of silent understanding at Kylee’s words.
Initially, neither of them had harbored any warmth toward Belinda whatsoever.

But after investing genuine time in her company, they had discovered her naturally kind-hearted spirit shining through every interaction.
The circumstances of her illegitimate birth bore no responsibility on her shoulders. Moreover, she and Kylee had appeared so remarkably close during those early days, which had gradually transformed their impression of her.
Little had they suspected that Kylee’s apparent kindness toward Belinda was nothing more than an elaborate performance!
This shocking incident had finally exposed Kylee’s true colors.
“Enough!” At that moment, Carola’s voice cut through the tension like a blade.
She then raised her hand with deliberate authority. Two imposing bodyguards walked over.
Carola issued her command bluntly. “Do it.”
“Understood!”
At once, the two bodyguards in black advanced on Kylee. One moved to her left, the other to her right, and together, they pinned her down.
Kylee thrashed wildly, her voice breaking with terror. “Let me go! Help! Lyle, Mitchell! Dad! Please, save me!”
Her desperate cries tore through the air, a plea filled with anguish and fear.
