Chapter 215: Amber Reed's Final Act

The hospital room was dark, illuminated only by the faint glow of medical equipment. Amber Reed closed the door silently and walked to Elizabeth's bedside. She looked down at Elizabeth's aged face and placed her hand on the oxygen tube, a cruel smile forming on her lips.

"Grandma, you can't blame me. After all, you forced my hand. I didn't want to push you, but you threatened me," she said softly, maintaining her smile as she reached to remove the oxygen tube from Elizabeth's nose. "But your death will let Tina take the fall for me, so at least you're doing one last good deed."

Just as she was about to act, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly opened wide, staring directly at her. Startled, Amber's hand shook, and she stumbled back a couple of steps. Elizabeth could only open her eyes; she couldn't speak or move. Amber steeled herself, suppressing her fear, and without hesitation, reached out again to remove the oxygen tube from Elizabeth's nose.

Snap!

At that moment, a pair of silver handcuffs clicked onto her wrist. The room lights suddenly blazed on, and Amber saw police officers blocking the doorway. In a corner of the room she had overlooked earlier sat someone in a chair, watching her with a half-smile.

"Tina!"

"Bravo!" Tina clapped appreciatively from her chair, legs crossed. "Thank you for giving me such a splendid performance!"

"How did you know?!" Amber's face turned pale.

"You thought using an anonymous phone would keep you safe?" Tina laughed brightly, mocking Amber's naivety. "Even if you destroyed the phone and SIM card, tracking the previous signal locations led us straight to Reed Residence." For Tina, it was just a matter of writing some code.

"Who else in Reed Residence would need to contact Elizabeth secretly but you?"

Amber realized too late that tonight had been a trap all along. The police had deliberately leaked news about Elizabeth waking up to lure the culprit into action. She tried to flee but found all exits blocked.

"Frame me?" Tina sneered at Amber's predicament. "Do you think you're worthy?"
