“Listen to you?” Izzy paused. She stared at Amalia, the woman who had raised her for years. There had been a time when she would have done anything to avoid hurting her. But that time had passed.

Amalia’s hands were clasped together as if trying to steady herself. “Monica wasn’t at fault,” she said quickly. “She was just-”

“Just what?” Izzy asked, her expression unreadable.

Amalia swallowed hard. “She was manipulated. She’s a victim too!”

Samantha scoffed. “Oh, now she’s the victim?”

Monica’s nails dug into her palms. Shame, anger, and panic twisted inside her. She had already lost control of the situation. Now, Amalia was trying to speak for her, trying to salvage whatever was left.

Izzy remained silent. This time, she chose to listen and watch the show.

Seeing Izzy’s calm expression, Amalia took a step closer. “Izzy, you have to understand. It was Cecil. She was the one who wanted to frame you. She forced Monica into this. She threatened her!”

Izzy’s eyes flickered. She had expected them to pin this on Cecil, but hearing it firsthand struck differently.

Ethan Sparks exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple. “This is ridiculous,” he muttered under his breath. “You never told me about any recording. This is such a waste of time.”

“It was really Cecil,” Amalia continued, ignoring the lawyer’s words.

“Oh, so now it’s Cecil? That’s the story?” Samantha crossed her arms, letting out a bitter laugh. “Tell me, Monica, was it Cecil who spent days going live, dragging Izzy’s name through the mud? Was it Cecil who pocketed all those donations?”

If she had known Monica didn’t have the Weiss family’s backing, she would never have gotten involved. She had pressured Izzy into paying, thinking the Weiss family would step in. After all, Monica had just lost Calen’s child. But now that Izzy had exposed the truth, it was clear–this mess wasn’t hers to deal with anymore.

Monica didn’t respond.

Samantha immediately turned to Izzy. “Do you believe this? She’s only throwing Cecil under the bus now because she’s out of options.” Obviously, Samantha’s next best option was to convince Izzy that she was innocent in all this.

Amalia shook her head. “That’s not true.” She turned back to Izzy. “Monica didn’t have a choice! Cecil had something on her, and if she didn’t do what she was told, she would have lost everything.”

Izzy remained still, listening.

Monica wanted this? She was scared. Cecil used her. Please, Izzy, you know
