In the end, he could only shrug helplessly, thinking that a love-struck woman was really helpless.


    “By the way, Leonel,” Lindsey said, suddenly growing serious, “did the police say how the boy was found?”


    Leonel thought for a while and shook his head.


    “No.


    Speaking of which, I actually did ask how the boy was found, but the officers gave me such ambiguous answers before finally changing the subject.


    ”


    Lindsey’s frown deepened.


    “I can’t help but wonder if he wasn’t found by the police…”


    “If not the police, then who?” Leonel looked at her in disbelief.


    Lindsey met his dubious gaze with burning eyes.


    “Perhaps it’s the person who’s secretly been helping me.


    ”


    Seeing Lindsey and Leonel approaching from the end of the hall, Benny stood up in a hurry, as though he couldn’t wait to Leave.


    “Linds, thank goodness you’re here.


    Something came up at work, and I have to go.


    ” As he spoke, Benny hurriedly put on his coat.


    Lindsey looked at him with a faint smile and proceeded to drop a bombshell on him.


    “Dad, Kendra was arrested by the police.


    ”


    Benny stopped in his tracks.


    He stared at Lindsey in disbelief and asked incredulously, “What? Why?”


    Lindsey walked over to the bedside and looked down at her mother’s sleeping face.


    There was a touch of sadness in Lindsey’s eyes as she said, “Kendra paid someone to set that fire that left my mom in aa.


    Then she drowned a three-year-old boy.


    Even if the judge is merciful enough not to give Kendra the death penalty, she’ll probably spend the rest of her life behind bars.


    ”


    Benny suddenly shuddered, disbelief written all over his face.


    “How… How could this be? Did the police make a mistake? Kendra’s still pregnant! How could she do such a thing?! There must be some kind of misunderstanding!”


    Although Benny didn’t Love Kendra deeply, thetter had still served him well for so many years.


    He refused to believe that the woman he slept next to every night was a murderer and an arsonist.


    Most importantly, Kendra was pregnant with what he thought was his child.


    When the child grew up, they’d be ashamed to have Kendra as a mother.


    And Benny, too, would feel ashamed to have a murder as his wife.


    Benny’s mind was aplete mess, but as though the blow that had been dealt wasn’t enough, Lindsey’s cold voice came again.


    “Dad, I’m not lying.


    If you don’t believe me, go to the station yourself and ask the police what happened.


    I’ve tried to tell you countless times before that Kendra’s a scheming, cruel woman.


    I told you to divorce her, but you just wouldn’t listen to me.


    Now that Kendra’s been arrested, you will be shrouded in shame and humiliation.


    Dad, how will you face people, knowing that the wife you refused to divorce has been imprisoned for murder and arson?”


    Eyes wide as saucers, Benny stared at Lindsey and shook his head hysterically.


    “No, this is all wrong.


    I know Kendra, She’s not that kind of person!”


    “Dad!” Lindsey couldn’t help but raise her voice to stop Benny from spiraling into self-delusion.


    “You don’t know her at all! Yes, she’s pregnant, but the baby isn’t yours! Just wait until the baby’s born and run a paternity test.


    Maybe then you’ll finally believe me.


    ”


    Eyes bloodshot, Benny red at Lindsey and said in a hoarse voice, “Linds, you were the one who put Kendra behind the bars, weren’t you?”Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lindsey sneered.


    “Yes.


    Why would I spare the person who nearly had my mother killed?”


    As though all the life was sucked out of him, Benny sat on the edge of the bed, deted.


    He nced at Juanita, who was lying unconscious in bed, and smiled bitterly.


    “Juanita, you really have such a good and loyal daughter.


    ”


    It was indeed a huge scandal that his daughter personally sent his wife and stepdaughter to prison.
