All the way home, Howard and Yosef kept glancing at Maclis, but neither of them knew what to say. The car’s air was heavy with dread as they awaited news from the Lynn family, desperate to how Henry was doing.

If anything happened to Henry, their family would be finished. Unlike Maelis, they couldn’t muster optimism. Jackson’s leniency didn’t mean absolution–an abyss might still await.

As soon as the car stopped at the Shaw residence, Maelis stumbled out, nearly tripping over herself as she rushed inside like a woman possessed.

A chill ran through Howard and Yosef–they sensed their family was on the brink of collapse.

As they walked into the living room, they encountered Betty descending the stairs. At the sight of the mad Maelis, Betty frowned, her voice dripping with disgust, “Where the hell have you been?”

Maelis collapsed onto the sofa, disheveled hair spilling over her shoulders, her dress wrinkled, cheeks swollen, and eyes glazed with madness. “Betty, I’m hurt. Tend to my wounds,” she croaked.

Howard and Yosef hesitated, their expressions wavering. For now, they didn’t know how to deal with Betty. Her past actions had created a gap that seemed impossible to bridge.

Nobody knew what she was up to. Howard and Yosef didn’t expect that they would run into her today, and judging by her outfit, she was clearly about to head out again.

“I’m busy,” Betty said coldly, barely looking up from admiring her fresh manicure. Having burned bridges with the Shaw brothers, she’d dropped all pretenses. ‘My perfect image is shattered–why pretend to be virtuous? They always sided with Zinnia anyway,‘ she thought.
