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.
