He couldn’t stay another second in the Crawford house. He stood up ito /ileave, but Elsie wasn’t having it. They hade tonight to take Yunice down–how could they leave without aplishing anything?

Seeing Owen losing his cool, Elsie clutched her stomach and stood, raising her voice in usation: “Owen only did that because Yunice set him up!”

Her words made everyone turn to look at her–even Owen looked at her with hesitation.

Elsie’s voice trembled. “Owen, isn’t that what you suspect too? I get it if you don’t want to turn against

She turned to Carl. “Mr. Carl, Owen’s being framed, We asked Yunice to help clear his name, but instead of helping, she forced him to marry that unreasonable woman! She and that woman are working together- he got trapped by them!”

Carl didn’t respond right away. He looked to Yunice. “Yunice, is that true?”

“No,” Yunice said tly. “Mr. Carl, Peggy had solid evidence at the time. I asked Owen if he wanted to go to trial or settle privately. All he did was beg me to ask Wyatt for a top–tierwyer to shut Peggy up. But my dad always said to live honestly, to own your actions. If any of us siblings did something shameful, the others had a duty to call it out, no matter the cost.”

She turned her cold gaze on Owen. “If you didn’t sleep with her, why were you so afraid of going to court? Because she had evidence, right?”

Owen sprang to his feet, furious, grabbing for her cor. “I said I didn’t touch her! I didn’t sleep with her!” Just as he lunged forward, Wyatt kicked him hard.

Owen stumbled backward and fell straight into the couch.

He sat up awkwardly, ncing at Wyatt with fear. He had onlyshed out in a moment of rage.

Carl had heard enough. He mmed his palm on the table. “You do something shameful, then me your sister for it? How dare you!”

“Mr. Carl, I swear I didn’t! I was set up!” Owen shouted.

Wyatt chimed inzily, “Funny how back when Yunice had no one, I didn’t hear about her bdear /bbbrother /blifting a finger to help.”

Carl picked up on that instantly. His brows drew together. “What do you mean, ‘had no one?”

That implied it had been a long time ago. Carl had been abroad for years and only ever heard that bthe /bSaunders family had been stable and harmonious. Why would Yunice have been desperate?

Wyatt turned his gaze on Carl. “I’m sure you’ve heard some things from Silverburgh. Rumors abour Yunice?”

Carl’s brows furrowed. He was well–informed, especially about someone as close to him as Yunice. Of course he’d heard some gossip–particrly about Yunice’s wild days with Paul, even when they were bstill /bengaged. But he’d always brushed it off since they had a formal engagement. It wasn’t exactly scandalous.

But judging by Wyatt’s tone, this was different.

Wyatt’s expression darkened. “What if I told you all those rumors were liesb?/bb” /b

Carl’s expression shifted. He looked at Wyatt, trying to read him–and realized he wasn’t joking.

Owen turned pale. For a brief second, he looked ready to run. But the Crawford family staff stood in the doorway, giving him no chance to escape.

Carl’s fists clenched as his gaze swept the room. “So this is what tonight’s really abouting here to use and point fingers? Fine. No more circling around. Everyone speak now. Whatever’s in your heart, say it. I was your fathers‘ old friendi, /iyour family’s elder. If you came to me for justice, then I’ll give you justice–just like your fathers would’ve wanted.”

He looked directly at Owen. “You start.”
