“A mistake? Mrs. Weiss, I didn’t think I would one day hear something like this from you,” Izzy snorted. This conversation had so many surprises. But the biggest surprise of them all was Cecil’s attitude. She never once thought that the woman was capable of something like this. “So you knew about the baby,” Izzy muttered. “And perhaps arranged everything.”

“How could a small woman like you understand how the outside world works?” Cecil responded. “Izzy… let me tell you this…” She took a step toward her and smiled. “The world is vast, it’s cruel, and it’s brutal. To survive, you must learn to live with that fact. You must be flexible.”

Cecil’s fingers twitched as though she intended to adjust a strand of Izzy’s hair. However, Izzy subtly moved her head, avoiding the touch altogether. Her eyes locked onto Cecil’s.

“This conversation has been… enlightening,” Izzy remarked, crossing her arms. “I’ll keep all of it in mind.”

Cecil chuckled softly and tilted her head. “You’re not scared, are you? Of being sued?”

Izzy’s lips twitched into a faint smirk. “Why would I be scared? I didn’t do anything. And without evidence, there’s not much anyone can hold over me.”

“You think so?” Cecil took another step closer, leaning in just enough to lower her voice conspiratorially. “There are no CCTV cameras in the area where it happened. With your history involving both Calen and Monica, the jury won’t need much convincing. They’ll see a jealous woman driven to do something… tragic.”

Izzy snorted at the suggestion. “Is that your strategy? To play the victim’s grieving family and spin a fantasy? To be honest, I didn’t know you are so good at making us stories.”
