Evelyn shook her head, her eyes quietly reddening.


    "Grandma, when did you wake up? Howe you''ve returned home by yourself? Are you okay?"


    "I''m fine, dear. Tough as ever!"


    Rosa took Evelyn''s hand, patting it reassuringly.


    ...


    On the third floor, in Charles'' room, Sandy had cried herself to sleep.


    Dahlia was heartbroken and wiped away her tears.


    A servant came knocking. "Mr. Charles, Mrs. Jenkins requests your and Ms. Dahlia''s presence downstairs." Charles suddenly stood up. "Grandma''s back?"


    A spark of joy was evident in his eyes as he put Sandy down and headed downstairs.


    Dahlia, however, had apletely different reaction. She felt like she had plunged into icy waters.


    All she could think about was how Rosa had managed toe back.


    Wasn''t she supposed to be in aa?


    With her return, would the truth about what happened five years ago be impossible to hide? Dahlia was engulfed in immense panic.


    ...


    As Charles came downstairs and saw Rosa, he strode forward, calling out with a deep voice, "Grandma!"


    His voice could barely hide his excitement. Seeing his grandmother awake after two years filled Charles with joy.


    Rosa was also thrilled to hear Charles'' voice. He was her most cherished grandson. But the moment she saw Dahlia following behind him, her face darkened, displeasure written all over her face.


    She coldly nced at the two, turning her gaze away disdainfully and gripping Evelyn''s hand tighter. She continually patted it, trying to offerfort.


    Rosa knew how much Eve loved Charles and could imagine how hurt she must be seeing Charles and Dahlia together.


    Rosa''s wise eyes swept over everyone present, and then she asked Evelyn, "Eve, what happened?"


    "Grandma Evelyn is so evil. Sandy is only five years old, and in such cold weather, she pushed Sandy into theke That''s why mom and Charles had to punish her."

    Sena was not willing to let Evelyn off easily. She feared Rosa, but today, she believed Evelyn couldn''t defend herself. If they could prove Evelyn''s guilt, perhaps Rosa would also despise her.

    "Eve, you tell me what happened!" Rosa didn''t take Sena''s word for it and turned to Evelyn to ask again.


    "Grandma, I didn''t push her."


    "Evelyn, how could you you didn''t? I saw it with my own eyes..."


    "Really? Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?" Evelyn responded coldly, her gaze making Sena''s usations falter. "Grandma, I have proof." Before, she had wanted to tell Charles that she had evidence, but he never believed her.


    Carmen and her daughter didn''t even give Evelyn a chance to speak. They had already judged her guilty.


    "Where is the evidence?" Rosa looked at Evelyn with a tender gaze.


    Evelyn stood up, leading Rosa''s bodyguard back to theke. They went to the spot where Sandy had fallen into the water.


    From the nearby bushes, she retrieved her phone. The recording had been going on for almost an hour.


    From the moment Evelyn had intentionally left a kiss mark on Charles'' neck, she knew Dahlia would not stand for it and woulde looking for her. Evelyn had been cautious.


    She knew Dahlia''s character. Once Evelyn provoked her, she wouldn''t let this go easily.


    That was why she used her phone to record everything that happened at theke - just in case.


    Evelyn had anticipated Dahlia might


    try to frame her in some way. She


    saw Sandy charge at her and


    thought Sandy might fall and falsely use her of pushing her in theke.


    She never expected Sandy to jump into theke herself.


    ...


    Evelyn, holding her phone, watched theplete footage recorded on it.


    She returned to the living room, and handed the phone to Rosa, "Grandma, here''s the evidence."
