After taking a bath andpleting her skincare routine, Be sank onto the bed with a heavy sigh.
In the past, dealing with a despicable man like this wouldn''t have fazed her. She might have been off having fun
with her brothers
instead.
However, overhearing the conversation between Justin and Ryan earlier had truly taken a toll on her. It stirred up
painful memories, leaving her feeling emotionally overwhelmed. At this moment, she
had no desire to even look at Justin.
She knew that she couldn''t solely blJustin for the loss of their child, but she found it difficult to let go of this
pain in her heart.
Choosing to avoid the topic and not thinking about it didn’t mean she
had moved on.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Be
assumed it was Justining to bother her again. She closed her eyes, intending to ignore it from beneath the
covers.
“Young Madam, it''s me, Wilma. Are you asleep? I''ve warmed a cup of milk for you. If you haven''t slept, you
should have some.” Wilma''s.
voice rang out, brimming with warmth and familiarity.
Be sat up abruptly and hurried off the bed to open the door for Wilma. As expected, Wilma stood there with a
cup of milk, her smile
radiating warmth. Be couldn’t help but nce around

subconsciously.
“Young Master Justin isn’t here. It''s just me,” Wilma said. She could see through Be''s thoughts with a single nce.
Feeling embarrassed, Be nervously bit her lip and invited Wilma inside.
The two women engaged in a heartfelt conversation that resembled that of a mother and daughter. Wilma
showed genuine concern for Be''s well-being. Every word she spoke broughtfort to Be''s heart.
Noticing that Be had finished her milk, Wilma smiled with contentment and gently took her hand, guiding her to the sofa to sit down.
“Young Madam, the young master has confided many things to me.’
Hearing this caused Be''s heart to skip a beat. “Including the part about Shannon''s plot to kill Mrs. Salvador?”
Wilma’s eyes widened tically, her grip on Be’s hand suddenly bing tighter as her palm began to
sweat. “Is it true? Was Shannon responsible for it?!”
Be realized that Justin had downyed the severity of the situation
and hadn''t told Wilma about this crucial information.
She quickly recounted it, feeling somewhat remorseful for overlooking Justin''s effort to keep this secret.
“Oh dear... Oh dear!”
Wilma let out a deep sigh, her eyes red with tears. “Actually, | had suspected Shannon. for a long time. Apart from her, who else could have targeted Madam at that time? Both Rosalind and Bethany were just kids back then. How could they have killed someone?”
Be''s gaze darkened gradually.
Who said children were incapable of evil deeds? Although theycked
the ability to plot schemes as intricate and malicious as Shannon''s, both Bethany and Rosalind spread rumors that harmed Mary while
she suffered from severe depression. This caused her immense suffering and humiliation.
Skids were not as innocent as they seemed, but rather demons who had yet to mature.
“But Young Madam, this is just my assumption. | don’t have any proof.” Wilma sobbed uncontrobly, overwhelmed with pain and guilt. “If | had spoken up about Shannon''s
involvement in Mrs.
Salvador’s death back then, it would have been difficult fortoo.”
She added, “Young Master Justin was still a child at that time. | promised Madam to take care of the young master as if he were my own son. If | couldn''t stay with the Salvador family, he would hay been in an even more dire situation.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
“Wilma, now that things have reached this point, | want to ask you something.” Be finally asked the question
that had been buried in her heart for too long. “What exactly did Justin go through when he
was a child? Can you share it with me?”
Wilma no longer hid anything from her and recounted the story. She
knew that Be still held resentment toward Justin, which resulted in
mixed feelings toward him. Only by helping Be fully understand and
empathize with Justin could their rtionship move forward, even
though making progress has been tough so far.
Wilma told Be about Justin''s difficult childhood in the slums,
enduring constant abuse, and taking care of his seriously ill mother.
She exined how he was brought back to the Salvador family by Gregory and how he was looked down upon
and not taken seriously. Finally, she shared that Justin struggled with severe depression as a
teenager after his mother passed away and attempted suicide.
Be felt her heart tighten, making it hard to breathe. Silently, tears
welled up in her reddened eyes and streamed down her cheeks.
