Two years back, Evelyn''s car took a nosedive into the river, and her body was never found. When the police pulled up the car, something seemed off. After digging into it, they realized this wasn''t just some random traffic mishap; someone had messed with the brakes. That''s what led to the disaster.


    With the car underwater, any possible evidence inside was washed away. The church parking lot, where Evelyn had parked before the incident, was open andcked surveince cameras. The police tried to piece it together but hit a dead end.


    That''s when Charles stepped up, offering a hefty reward across all tforms for any leads or witnesses. The promise of a big payout not only brought an eyewitness to light but also unearthed a video. A photography buff had been snapping shots of the idyllic countryside and inadvertently caught the crime scene


    on camera.


    With Charles''s help, the police quickly zeroed in on Wesley, the suspect. Confronted with undeniable evidence, Wesley had no choice but toe clean and exin what went down. Turns out, he had been nursing a grudge against Evelyn for a while. He used to work as an orderly at a hospital until Evelyn used him of child abuse, and that cost him his job. The stigma stuck, leaving him jobless, and he med Evelyn for his downward spiral, itching for revenge ever since.


    On that fateful day, he had gone to the church, hoping to change his luck, but the fortune he got was downright bleak. Disheartened, he left only to run into Evelyn, his long-time nemesis. In a spur-of-the-moment decision driven by rage, he saw a chance to settle the score. Using lock-picking skills from his wilder days, he messed with Evelyn''s car brakes. Regret hit him soon after, but by then, it was toote-Evelyn was already gone.


    Wesley showed genuine remorse, hoping for a lighter sentence, but Charles and Brooks weren''t having it. They both hired the top criminalwyer in the city, making sure Wesley got convicted of murder and faced life in prison.


    Evelyn only found out about all this six months ago. She remembered Wesley vividly because, yes, she had filed thatint against him. It all began when Charlie mentioned wanting a homemade meal. Evelyn went home while Charlie napped, to whip up something special. But when she returned, Charlie, who should''ve been up, was still sleeping andter woke upining of pain.


    Charlie was a tough kid, never one to admit pain just to keep Evelyn from worrying. So, when she did, Evelyn knew something was seriously


    Pelet


    wrong. Initially, she thought it was just Charlie''s illness, but when Charlie winced at her touch, she knew something was off. A closer look revealed countless tiny needle marks on Charlie''s body, almost invisible unless you were looking for them.


    Evelyn wasted no time, checking the hospital''s surveince footage. She saw that apart from the doctors and nurses, only one male orderly had been in Charlie''s room alone. It was


    Wesley. In a fit of anger, Evelyn was


    grabbed a janitor''s mop and


    after him. But without solid evidence and since Charlie wasn''t visibly harmed, calling the cops wasn''t going to help. Still, someone like Wesley couldn''t stick around and was fired from the hospital.


    Even though the motive was clear, Evelyn couldn''t shake the feeling that Wesley''s timing was just too perfect. She suspected Dahlia might be involved. Evelyn shared her


    suspicions with Brooks, awarene


    that


    such quesses were just that-guesses. After being asked countless times by Charles, "Where''s your evidence?" Evelyn assumed Brooks would also think she was just overthinking it because of her dislike for Dahlia.
