Marietta sat in her study in her villa.Her countenance was as pale as ever. She held a DNA test report in her hands. The results were out. Yvonne really wasn't her daughter. She had thought that she had mentally prepared herself for this, but now that she had the results, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by it all. Yvonne wasn't her daughter. Then, where in the world was her daughter? Marietta didn't even have the mental capacity to wonder why the first DNA report had been wrong. She was trapped in her thoughts when the door burst open. "Mom," greeted Yvonne, her footsteps light as she came into the house. "I heard that you stayed in your room and refused to leave the house for the past few days. Were you busy reviewing the drafts for the short story competition?"She was so immersed in her joy that she failed to notice there was something off with Marietta. "Mom, can you tell me who the winner is?" Yvonne asked. Even though Avery had called her and told he

Every time Kirk called Marietta, it was because something major had happened. Marietta didn't bother handing Yvonne the DNA test report. Instead, she answered the call right away. "Hello," she said, picking up the phone. What Kirk said next made her heart leap into her throat. "Are you sure?" she asked as she glanced at Yvonne, who was still kneeling on the ground. "We have evidence. From the CCTV footage that we've restored, we discovered that Yvonne had indeed met the psychopath who hurt Caroline," said Kirk. "In addition to that, we showed him Yvonne's picture, and he admitted that she was the one who ordered him to make a move on Caroline." Marietta felt as though the world had just collapsed on her. She sniffed, trying to contain her tears. "What do you plan to do with her?" Kirk fell silent for a while before replying, "She's your daughter. I'll let you handle it." Marietta knew that Kirk had said that because of Caroline. But his words had an underlying m

"No! Mom, the results of the short story competition will be announced soon," Yvonne pleaded. "When I win first place, I'll be able to make a name for myself in the writers' circle."She continued, "I have a bright future ahead of me! You can't just ruin it like this!" By now, she was so frightened that she couldn't stop herself from blabbering anything that came to mind. Marietta froze when she heard those words. "What did you say? The results of the competition haven't been announced yet, so how do you know that you will get first place?" she asked. As one of the judges of the competition, Marietta herself didn't know who would emerge victorious. So, how would Yvonne know anything about it? It was then that Yvonne realized she had made a slip of the tongue. She flinched, losing the courage to look at Marietta in the eyes. "Tell me, what exactly happened?" Marietta demanded. "I'll have the organizer put an end to the competition and have them look into this if you don

No one could know about this. The results of the short story competition will be announced tomorrow. It would be the end for Yvonne if people found out that she had killed Marietta. Her supposedly bright future would shatter into a billion pieces by then. She would turn from a genius writer to a heartless murderer! No! This wasn't the life she wanted! She wanted to become famous and known around the world! Only then would she be more deserving of Adrian. A murderer wasn't fit to be Adrian's significant other. Yvonne trembled in fear as she glanced at Marietta on the floor, and a bold thought formed in her mind. She had to do one thing, for sure. No matter the cost, she had to make sure that the short story competition's results were announced tomorrow. That was exactly why …Yvonne got up from the ground. Summoning every ounce of courage in her, she dragged Marietta into the bathroom, placed her in the bathtub, and filled it with water. After that, she tidied the roo

Caroline's hands were cold and clammy when she gripped Betty's.Warmth spread to Caroline's hands. She sighed and nodded as she threw herself into Betty's arms. "It's okay. I'm here," said Betty as she lightly patted Caroline's shoulder. "You should try to sleep." Caroline raised her eyes to look at Betty and said, "Okay." She lay down on the bed like an obedient child.

When her phone almost fell to the floor, Caroline raised her head in annoyance."Caroline, we meet again. You probably didn't know that I'm participating in this competition too. I bet you find it strange."Caroline frowned disdainfully, as if she were looking at an imbecile. She continued looking at her phone without saying a word. She still hadn't gotten a response. "Hey!"
