Chapter 246

I left without looking back, my heart heavy but my purpose clear. I would protect my daughter, whatever the cost.

(Olivia's POV)

I sat silently in Lucas's car, watching Connor's dejected departure from Rosewood Haven. His shoulders were slumped, his steps heavy with the weight of his discoveries.

"He didn't believe us," I murmured, disappointment settling in my chest.

Lucas's gray eyes remained fixed on Connor's retreating figure. "He will. The seed of doubt has been planted."

I nodded, hoping he was right. Despite Connor's past actions against me, I

couldn't help feeling sympathy for him. Victoria had

manipulated him just as she had manipulated everyone else.

"My men will follow him," Lucas assured me. "Make sure he doesn't do anything rash."

The tension of the evening washed over me suddenly, leaving me exhausted. The confrontation with Connor, the evidence of

Emma's abuse, Victoria's cruelty-it was overwhelming.

"Thank you," I said softly, leaning back against the headrest. "For everything."

Lucas turned to me, his expression softening. "You don't need to thank me, Olivia."

My eyelids felt heavy, the events of the day catching up with me. I fought to stay alert, but exhaustion was winning.

"I should get back," I murmured, my words slurring slightly. "Ethan will be wondering where I am."
