Only by charging him with multiple offenses can they ensure a lengthy sentence!

The reason for reaching out to Maria was clear to anyone with eyes. Claire was beyond redemption; she would never confess.

Though Maria was but a child, she saw more clearly than Claire.

She didn't want her mother to suffer anymore, didn't want her little brother to come back to a world of pain, so she bravely stepped forward.

After all, she was on borrowed time. If speaking out could save her mother and brother, it was worth it.

By the time Claire found out, it was too late. The videos were already circulating online.

She wept beside her daughter's hospital bed,

"How could you be so foolish? How could you speak out against your father like that? He'll kill you if he finds out!"

"You're the foolish one, Mom. Keeping silent was to protect you. Dad's ruthless- he'll kill you for this," she sobbed uncontrollably.

Elliot and Evan were in the room, capturing it all on video and sharing it online!

This was all the proof needed; Claire also acknowledged Cecil's violence!
