The room fell silent, everyone stunned by how swiftly acted. Monien seemed utterly absurd by dropping to her knees, almost comical. 

I wondered if she was crazy. 

It seemed like she was begging me. But when I saw her rushing at me aggressively, I thought she was about to stab me in the waist. 

After all, I still had some lingering effects from the previous stab wound. It felt like everyone wanted to hurt me. 

Only Carter understood why my reflexes kicked in, and he showed a bit of tenderness. 

He patted me gently on the back and reassured me, ‘It’s okay. You’re safe.” 

Once I calmed down. Monica went on, Zoey, I’m to blame for all of this. It’s my fault for not Maising Sadie right, which led to today. I’ll take responsibility, but Sadie is still young. If you need to punish punish me. Let me kneel instead.” 

someone, 

Ineered Since Sadie had already knelt for so long, I knew Monica was trying to manipulate Bill’s sympathy 

If it were in my past life, I might have felt some pity. But after being stabbed and realizing how deceptive people could be, I was as cold as the blade that hurt me. 

“Fine. You’re her mother, so it makes sense that you take responsibility,” I replied without hesitation. 

Monica was surprised by how quickly I agreed. She probably thought I wouldn’t allow her, an elder, to take Sadie’s place, but I wasn’t the weak Zoey I used to be. 

I smirked. If you want to kneel, go do it outside. It’s cold out there, so it won’t bother anyone.” 

She glanced at my mom. “Philippa…. 

Her eyes lingered on my mom’s stomach. The last time we had dinner, my mom had thrown up and gone to the hospital. 

Since it was the Boltons‘ private hospital, Carter had made sure Monica didn’t find out whether my mom was pregnant. 

My mom had been struggling with morning sickness and had lost her usual patience. She couldn’t be bothered to deal with Monica and simply said, “Get lost. 

I thought Monica would beg Bill, but instead, she slowly stood up, looking a bit pitiful. “Yes, I’ll go kneel now to atone for my actions.” 

She did seem lonely and sad. But Bill’s focus was entirely on my mom and the babies she was carrying. 

He didn’t care about Monica anymore, especially since he had never loved her, and she had lost her youthful beauty.

The only person he cared about was Sadie. He ordered the maids to bring Sadle in to treat her injuries, visibly relaxing when he saw I didn’t argue. 

I still needed Sadie for my plan. 

Sadie had been spoiled for years, and kneeling for half an hour in the cold was too much for her. She cred, shivering, and Bill looked at her with sympathy 

“Zoey, are you happy now? Sadie is injured like this,” he complained. 

I was furious and ready to argue, but then I realized it wasn’t worth my energy. 

He might not love Monica, but he genuinely cared for Sadie, just like I had once been hurt by the Sanders He thought about me and defended me. 

I understood his inability to cut ties, but I couldn’t accept that his family bonds came at the cost of another mother and daughter’s pam. My mom should divorce him. 

The more Sadie suffered, the more 

Bill would care about her and push my mom further away. 

I didn’t answer Bill, instead looking at my mom. Her expression was blank like she had given up. 

After 20 years of disappointment, she seemed to have stopped expecting anything from him. 

She probably had known his true nature all along and had no hope left to feel disappointed. 

“Mom, why don’t you go rest upstairs for a bit?” I asked. 

“Okay.” 

Although the mess had been cleaned up, the living room still felt empty. 

Bill never thought about the consequences of my mom being frightened or hurt by Sadie. He kept promising he would change, but old habits die hard. 

I helped my mom upstairs, feeling sorry for her. 

“Mom, you’ve been wronged.” 

She smiled gently. “How could I be wronged? With you by my side, and the two little ones with me. I’m already happy. It’s you who shouldn’t waste your efforts on people who don’t matter.” 

Seeing her so calm and gentle, I was more determined. “Mom, I’ll figure out a way to get you divorced. 

“Okay, I’m a bit tired.” 

“Then rest for a while. I’ll stay with you.” 

She looked at me with a steady gaze that seemed to see right through me. 

“Why are you looking at me like that, Mom?” I asked, feeling uneasy. 

She sighed as if she was holding something back. “It’s nothing.”

Then, she closed her eyes, and I covered her with a blanket. She took my hand in hers. 

“Zoey” she whispered. 

1 held her hand back. Tim here. Mom”

She didn’t respond after that, and I felt a sense of unease. Did she sense something? She shouldn’t have- who would think of something as crazy as rebirthi 

After she fell asleep. I quietly left the room, maware that as the door closed, tears began to slide down her checks. 

Sadie’s hand was wrapped in a bandage, her body warming up as she leaned against Bill, sipping warm soup. When she saw me approach, she gave me a smug look. 

Bill glanced at his watch. “It’s been 40 minutes. Zocy, don’t you think that’s enough? The New Year’s is almost here. It she dies from kneeling, we won’t have a peaceful one.” 

I didn’t feel like arguing anymore and casually said, “If you think it’s enough, go ahead.” 

He immediately left. Sadie walked toward me slowly, her smile full of arrogance. She whispered. “See? Dad still cares about us. If Mom managed to win him over once, she can do it again. 

Want to guess how long it’ll take for Dad to come back this time? Three months? One month? Doesn’t matter if you take my property. As long as Dad recognizes me as his daughter, his wealth is still mine.” 

I gave her a cold stare. “You probably won’t live long enough to see that happen.” 

“You b*tch! How dare you curse me!” she spat, her voice full of rage. 

With no one else in the living room, she didn’t bother with her image. 

I chuckled lightly. “With your low intelligence, you won’t even see how it ends. I won’t save you next time. You’re on your own.”
