    The moment Kelly heard Madam Evelyn’s voice, the fury and resentment on her bface /bvanished.

    “Madam Evelyn,” she said respectfully.

    She knew full well her three years in prison had all been Dawson family’s doing. But she wouldn’t dare show even a hint of resentment before this woman. Madam Evelyn’s methods were far too ruthless.

    Three years–without a single visit, not even from her own mother.

    And now, the first time she saw the light again, it was still because of Madam Evelyn.

    At that moment, Kelly realized her hatred for Ste was secondary. What weighed heavier was

    envy.

    With a mother like this, Ste was far better off than Kelly, even with her own birth mother.

    Her thoughtssted only a second before she suddenly fell to her knees.

    “Madam Evelyn, please forgive me. Three years ago, I was ignorant. It was my fault I angered Miss Dawson.”

    Ste: ” ”

    Madam Evelyn: “…”

    They nced at each other, brows furrowed.

    Admitting fault the moment she arrived? Then what about the pregnancy test…

    Before Madam Evelyn could think further, her phone buzzed.

    One look at the screen, and her expression changed.

    “Ste,” she said briskly.

    “Yes, Mother.”

    “You ask her yourself,” Madam Evelyn said warmly, clearly preparing to leave.

    Ste nodded obediently. “Alright.”

    Madam Evelyn stood, casting Kelly a sharp, warning look.

    Kelly froze as their gazes locked. The warning was clear.

    In the next moment, Madam Evelyn turned and walked away without another word.

    Now only Ste and Kelly remained, with the butler and two servants nearby. Even without Madam Evelyn present, Kelly wouldn’t dare act recklessly here.

    Ste’s eyes settled on her.

    Kelly’s voice broke. “Why am I out today?”

    The question wasced with bitterness. Beneath her anger and resentment.was raw sorrow.

    She had never imagined she would leave prison like this.

    Ste nced at the small box that had earlier been thrown at Melissa.

    “Are you pregnant?” Ste asked directly.

    Kelly: “What?”

    Her pupils contracted sharply, disbelief shing across her face.

    “What are you saying?”

    Pregnant? Was Ste mocking her?

    The flicker in her eyes, the change in her expression–Ste caught it all.

    Clearly, it wasn’t her.

    Ste waved a hand. “Take her away.”

    Kelly’s heart lurched. Ste hadn’t said much, but those words were enough to send her back.

    “No! I won’t go back there. I want to go home,” she cried, desperate and fierce.

    The memory of the suffering she’d endured in prison made her voice tremble with rage.

    Seeing Ste surrounded, cherished, Kelly’s jealousy twisted deeper. Once, she had been just as adored in the Tom family.

    And all she had lost–she med it on Ste.

    “Ste, you ruined me! You won’t die well. I curse you to lose everything.”

    “I curse you to end up just like me!”

    Her voice was shrill, hysterical.

    The butler’s face hardened. “Take her away,” he ordered the servants.

    “No! I won’t go back there. I want to go home, to the Tom family!”

    “Ste-”

    Ste’s gaze was calm. “What happened to you wasn’t because of me.”

    Kelly froze.

    Lifting her eyes, Ste’s voice remained steady.

    “Three years ago, when the Dawson family was in turmoil, you arranged to have me kidnapped. You even staged a scheme to climb into Abraham’s bed.”

    “You nned everything—my disappearance, your pregnancy with Abraham’s child. You thought of it all. But you didn’t ount for Derrick’s intervention.”

    That day, chased to the edge by Abraham, Derrick finally confessed the truth.

    He had yed along only to make Kelly drop her guard.

    Kelly’s scheme had been wless. If she had seeded, Ste would have been destroyed.

    But Derrick had carved out a sliver of chance for her to escape Falvaria.

    Kelly had made it look like she was forcing Ste out of the Dawson family, but the path she set was filled with traps.

    If even one of them had worked, Ste and Abraham would never have had their present life.

    Back then, Kelly had been determined to im Abraham.

    Her ambition had been far greater–and far darker–than Melissa’s.
