On the way home, Eunice was visibly on edge. She was clearly terrified of getting wrapped up in this

controversy.

Although Regina was also anxious, she was significantly more composed compared to her daughter.

She gently reassured Eunice, “Don’t worry, your uncle isn’t a fool. He must have made ample preparations, and it won’t be easy for anyone to catch him. Even if he does get caught, your father won’t harm him. After all, he’s our family

Upon hearing those words, Eunice felt a sense of relief Mom has a point. She regained the confidence to face whatever came next without fear.

The afternoon arrived quickly.

Madelyn was well aware of how cunning Zachary was. She knew that if she attempted to investigate him directly, she would be met with a slew of well–prepared excuses he had up his sleeve.

Hence, she deliberately had Zachary arrested. Her sole purpose in doing so was to intimidate Livian, making it easier for her to force a confession.

Besides that, to make the situation appear more convincing, Madelyn even deliberately sought out her father’s informant in the finance department, Ian. She had him intentionally spread the false impression throughout the department that Zachary had confessed to all his crimes. Of course, all of this was also relayed to Livian.

Livian, who was already filled with trepidation, was completely terrified when she heard Jan’s claims.

Have mine and Zachary’s actions been exposed? Does this mean the police will be coming for me soon? I can’t let that happen! What we did was illegal, and if the police catch us, there’s no telling how many years we’ll be locked up in jail!

Plus, if Livian was arrested, Jeremiah would immediately proceed with the divorce. By then, she would undoubtedly be left with nothing but blame and poverty

Then what happens to my child who hasn’t even turned two?

Livian was also supporting her parents who could no longer work. Would they starve to death if no one was around to take care of them?

Livian was truly on edge. Her mind involuntarily replayed Madelyn’s words over and over again.
