It was ironic that stories of fallen heroes became a cloud of dust in the wind, a stark contrast to the


    ever-present buzz of celebrity gossip


    A brave journalist held a microphone up Shannon’s face and asked solemnly, “Is it true that you abuse


    the domestic help as imed by Ms. Thompson? Was Linny subjected to your unfair treatment?”


    Shannon was taken aback.


    It never crossed her mind that the press she brought would turn the tables on her.


    Justin clutched Be’s hand.


    “You’re amazing, Be. Truly. You are so much stronger. I am the absolute worst.”


    Justin looked deep into her eyes and smiled wryly. “I don’t feel go enough for you. I can’t measure up.


    His lips leaned into her ear tenderly. “You’ve been chasing after m for thest 13 years. Let me run


    after you for the rest of our lives.”

    Be’s heart melted, and her fingers curled.


    The other reporters surrounded Shannon and Bethany with sharp questions.


    Breaking out in a cold sweat, Shannon and Bethany refuted, “No!


    That’s not true. Don’t listen to Be.”


    “Is there anything you can say for yourself, ma’am?”


    A familiar, indignant voice rang out from the crowd.


    Be and Justin looked up in shock.


    Wilma approached with a vengeance.


    “Wilma!”


    “Young Madam, Young Master Justin.”


    Wilma walked toward Justin and Be and nodded. “I’m sorry for showing up against your advice.


    “I know you didn’t tell me to save me from the heartache, but I practically raised Linny. She’s like a


    daughter to me.”


    Wilma choked with sobs as tears filled her eyes. “Can I see her off for thest time?”


    “I’m sorry, Wilma.” Justin sighed with downcast eyes. He felt bad for keeping the matter from Wilma.


    Be went up to hug Wilma, patting her back with an air of unspok sadness.


    Pulling herself together, Wilma looked Shannon dead in the eye.


    Bitterness overtook every inch of her being. “Ms. Thompson is right.


    The Salvadors have not been kind to all the domestic help, Linny included, throughout the years. I’ve


    worked for the Salvadors for nearly 3 decades. I know what Ms. Thompson knows and more. I swear to


    God that Ms. Thompson made no false usation. She spoke the truth.”


    “Have you lost it, Wilma? Did Be bribe you to frame us?”


    Shannon pointed at Wilma angrily. “You are like family to us. We have been nothing but nice to you. I


    bet no one can top us in giving you better pay and benefits in the whole of Savrow. Yet, you are so


    greedy. I can’t believe you turned against us over money. Have you lost all sense of decency?”


    “My decency is what led me to be here today.”
