Chapter 174

Leila stared at Cain in disbelief. Cain always so kind to her, now stood before her with a face of thunder, making it clear this was no joke.

With a thud, she dropped to her knees, her voice trembling with confusion, “Dad, what did I do wrong?”

Cain looked down at Leila.

Even now, she was playing the innocent, and it reminded him of something Merry had said, “You never believed me.”

Cain remained silent. He recalled how Metry would always lose her temper when she made mistakes, while Leila, ever the picture of grace, would speak in misunderstood whispers.

Could it be that they had been misjudging Merry all along? If so, he could understand Merry’s resentment. But what he couldn’t grasp was why Leila would act this way towards Merry.

As Cain gazed at her, Leila looked back, her lips pursed, “Dad, did the police find something?”

Her calmness was at odds with the situation, not at all the demeanor of someone caught red–handed.

Seeing Cain’s silence, Leila knew her misdeeds had been exposed. She offered no excuses, shed no tears for mercy, and admitted no guilt.

Kneeling there, head bowed, she asked, “Dad, in your eyes, am I a bad girl now?”

Cain still didn’t speak.

Leila continued, “I know nothing I say will matter now. I won’t try to explain.”

Tears rolled down her cheeks, her posture painting a picture of pure, wronged innocence.
