The person remained the same, but the voice suddenly shifted several tones, becoming rough and unrecognizable. The face that appeared bore no resemblance to Byron at all; it was utterly ordinary.

Karen shot him an impatient glance. "Are you a statue or something? Hurry up and get a doctor! My nose is broken! Are you taking responsibility for this?"

She bellowed inwardly, Apart from being able to mimic Byron's voice, he's utterly useless!

The bodyguard quickly replied. "I'll go get someone right now!"

By the time Lydia received the news and rushed over, Karen had already unleashed her fury on the doctors nearby. "What do you mean my nose will be crooked even if it heals? You're all aseless! Can't you fix something as minor as this? Why don't you just drop dead? If something happens to my nose, I'll make sure you never work again and end up begging on the streets! Quacks! Useless!"

Lydia noticed the doctors' uncomfortable expressions and asked them to leave before turning to Karen. "What happened? How did your nose end up like this?"

Karen collapsed into her mother's arms, crying.

As she heard the story. Lydia's expression turned cold. "That little brat dared to mess with your face? She has no idea what she's up against! Is she admitting to it?"

"She's stubborn as a mule! The evidence is all there, but she won't admit to it!" Karen gritted her teeth. "Mom, Byron always disappears around this time of year, and I have no idea where he goes or when he'll be back. If he comes back and finds out what happened to Marve..."

"What are you worried about!" Lydia asked calmly. "Byron always returns in a foul mood after disappearing. Even Gilbert's words can't sway him. You think Maeve will have a good outcome if she confronts him?" The mother-daughter duo had meticulously planned everything, so they dared to set up this trap.

"With Byron's debt to your father, who do you think he'll stand by, you or Maeve?" Lydia said earnestly.

Karen immediately perked up. "Of course it's me!"
