Vera shot a disdainful glance at Steven's frail form and hollow eyes, sricering with contempt. "I don't want to waste another second on you, and I certainly don't need to hear your endless stories!

"Robin, let's go. Listening to these self-righteous fools spin their disgusting stories is only making me angrier!

"A trap? Even if there is one, what difference does it make to discuss it now?

"Let's just leave, Robin. I can't stand being in this wretched place any longer!"

Vera grabbed Robin's arm and began heading for the door.

But Robin stopped her, gently pulling her back. "Hold on a second. Sometimes, the world isn't as clear-cut

as it seems.

"What you see and hear at first might just be illusions. Let's at least hear Steven out-think of it as listening to a story from the past.

"Maybe it will give you a better understanding of what your mother went through all those years ago.

"After hearing it, you might realize that sometimes the truth is more shocking than you could ever expect.

"It's such a beautiful day. Perhaps it's time to air out those long-buried secrets and reveal just how rotten this garden really is. Let's see just how ugly human nature can become." Vera hesitated for a moment, then met Robin's calm, emotionless gaze and nodded.

"I'll do as you say, Robin. You're the only one I trust in this world.

"Even if they're my family, I could never trust them.

"Even if I hear the truth today, I won't feel a shred of gratitude.

"Because all their family has ever brought me is pain, fear, hatred, and despair

Robin gave her shoulder a comforting pat. "I understand. Once you know the truth, you'll be able to move

on."

Steven sighed deeply, his voice heavy with regret. "Sigh... Vera, the people I owe the most in this life are your mother and Vincent's mother." ""What?"

Vera felt little impact from his words, but both Vincent and Sophie were visibly stunned.

At that moment, Steven seemed to have anticipated what they feared-the truth about their mother. Megan's, past was about to be revealed.

They didn't want to believe it, but deep down, they knew it was true.

"Vera, your mother was framed because she saw something she shouldn't have.

"At the time, I had no choice but to keep her in the family.

"I never intended to imprison her. I was only trying to protect her

Vera was confused. Protect my mother? Was this really how you protected her?

"Even though

even though I despise Viola, at least the freed my mother from this cage gave her freedom, and allowed her a few years to live her own life, to pursue the things she loved" Steven shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips "Vera, your mother, Sharon, got into trouble because she witnessed a murder carried out by Viola

The revelation made Vera shudder in disbelief.

"Viola secretly took in the powerful underworld figure Malcolm, and instructed him to kill Vincent's mother, Megan, and her bodyguards. "Unfortunately, your mother witnessed it.

"If Sharon hadn't seen it, perhaps she could have lived a bit longer.

"But she did, and that's what brought disaster upon her

Vera stood frozen, stunned beyond words.

She never imagined Steven would reveal something so unbelievable.

Robin gently placed a hand on her back to steady her.

Vincent and Sophie, overwhelmed with emotion, fell to the ground in front of Steven, tears streaming down their faces.
