The moment Alyssa heard about Kaia’s accident, she rushed straight to the hospital.

“Kaia! You scared the hell out of me! Uncle Lucien told me you were here. I nearly had a heart attack.”

Kaia gave a faint smile.

Even if Lucien’s mad at me, he still made sure someone would keep me company.

There was no simple way to describe what she was feeling.

“Alyssa… I think I made your uncle angry.”

“Huh?” Alyssa blinked. “That’s weird. He didn’t sound angry when he called me.

“So what happened?” she asked, eyes sparkling with curiosity. “I bet he’s the one who messed up. Want me to go rat him out to Grandpa? He’ll learn a proper lesson.”

“No!” Kaia laughed nervously. “It was my fault.”

Once Kaia explained the situation, Alyssa fell silent for a while.

“I can’t believe your stepmother is that vicious. What a venomous woman. She belongs behind bars for life!”

But a crime without evidence that happened over twenty years ago was hard to prosecute based on Sue’s statement alone.

Kaia didn’t want to risk her life recklessly. Still, now that she had found out the truth behind her mother’s death, there was no way she could just stand by and let herself suffer the same fate.

She used Sue’s guilt to slowly push Sally into making her move.

First, Kaia triggered Sally by getting Tobias to file for divorce. Then, she would force her into a corner.

Only a real accident would add weight to the evidence of Sally’s attempted murder.

Alyssa ‘looked at her, heart aching. “Don’t blame my uncle, okay? I actually kinda get why he was mad.”

“Think about it. My uncle is head over heels for you. But when you were in trouble, your first instinct wasn’t to tell him; it was to shut him out of your plan completely and go it alone. You even risked your life doing it.

“Of course, he’s upset. He’s worried sick, but he probably also feels like you don’t love or trust him enough to believe he can protect you. If you were him, wouldn’t you feel the same?”

Would I?

Kaia hadn’t thought that far ahead when she put the plan into

motion.

She just didn’t want to burden Lucien any more than she already had.

She’d troubled him enough, after all.

“Oh, Kaia, you were too distant with him. That’s exactly what he’s upset about!”

Kaia pressed her lips together. “Then what should I do?”

Alyssa smirked. “I’ve got a plan!

“You just do this, then this, and definitely this…”

Kaia’s face turned bright red. “Alyssa! Aren’t you single?!”

Alyssa shrugged. “So what? I’m well–versed in theory. Just trust me. If you follow my lead, you’ll have my uncle wrapped around your finger in no time.”

Sally was taken from her home later that day.

Kimberly was stunned. “What are you doing?! My mom’s not a criminal! You can’t just drag her away like that!”

The officer had his body cam on. “Ms. Martins, we’re asking you to come in for questioning. If you refuse, we have grounds to
