Chapter 253

Evelyn was trembling, her eyes blazing with anger. "Dahlia's the reason your daughter and grandmother, who adored you since you were a kid, are gone! And you're just gonna let her walk away like nothing happened?"

Charles couldn't help but feel the sting of Evelyn's accusations. She was blaming Dahlia for everything without a shred of evidence, and it cut him deep. The loss of Charlie and his grandmother-both so dear to him-was unbearable. But he knew he couldn't just pin the blame on someone without proof.

He pushed Evelyn gently into a chair, prying her hands from his shirt and pressing them down onto the armrests. Standing over her, he looked at her with eyes heavy with sorrow.

He remembered the day Evelyn had landed him in the hospital. As he lay there, the events of the past months played in his mind-her shift in behavior, the reckless stunts she'd pulled against Dahlia. Her fixation had gone too far.

He'd wanted to sit her down and talk it out, but he never thought she'd poison his grandmother with her theories. Rosa, who had always doted on Evelyn, believed her wholeheartedly, refusing to hear him out. She was convinced Dahlia was responsible for Charlie's death, which led to today's tragic events. In the end, Rosa's heart gave out from the stress. Wasn't that enough?
