Kimberly clutched her cheek, shooting Liz a venomous glare before turning away to sit down. She fixed her eyes on the interrogation room across the hall.Mandy was inside.Michael turned to Liz, his tone cold. “Once this whole thing is settled, you’re returning those Smith Corporation shares to me and your uncle.”Liz didn’t even bother replying. She simply ignored him.An hour later, the officer finally stepped out of the interrogation room.Kimberly rushed up to him. “Officer, where’s my daughter? When can she come out? She’s been a good girl her whole life. She would never tell anyone to switch her grandmother’s medication! She’s being framed!”The officer gave her a calm look. “Mrs. Smith, we’ll conduct a full investigation. Please go home and wait for the results.”Kimberly froze, staring at him in disbelief. “What do you mean, go home and wait? Where’s my daughter? I’m taking her home with me.”“She can’t leave yet,” the officer said evenly. “If you want, you can call a l

After the secretary left, Eric turned to Kimberly. “What is it?”Kimberly lowered her gaze, looking slightly embarrassed. “I don’t know if you know my daughter, Mandy Smith. She’s at the police station right now and said she wanted to see you.”Eric’s expression darkened, his tone turning cold. “Mrs. Smith, please tell her I’m busy and have no time to see her. I suggest she reflect on her own actions.”*News of Kimberly’s visit to Eric reached Liz soon after.“Ms. Smith,” her assistant reported, “your mother went straight to Lincoln Corporation after leaving the police station. She waited outside all day. When Mr. Lincoln finally came out, she spoke with him briefly and then left looking completely devastated.”Liz frowned in surprise. Kimberly had almost no personal connection with Eric. If she went straight there after leaving the station, then Mandy must have asked her to.“Look into it,” Liz said calmly. “Find out if Mandy and Eric have had any private contact. I want every

Up until that moment, Dr. Ziegler had thought William was only pretending to have a girlfriend to turn her down. She actually believed she still had a chance.But now, watching the way he and Liz looked at each other, a wave of disappointment and bitterness welled up inside her. The two of them standing together looked like they belonged. She didn’t even stand a chance of competing.“Yeah,” William said softly. He took Liz’s hand and turned to the others. “Everyone, this is my girlfriend, Liz Smith.”Liz smiled politely. “Hi, I’m Liz.”For a few seconds, the group just stared, stunned by the sight of William’s gentle expression.“Dr. Sanders, we had no idea! We all thought you weren’t into women, but it turns out you’ve been secretly dating someone!”“Seriously! I thought you’d be the last one in our department to fall in love. Guess I was wrong!”“Congratulations, Dr. Sanders. Your girlfriend’s gorgeous. You two look great together.”Their laughter and teasing filled the air,

“If you really want me to take your case, why don’t you slip the judge a bribe? If he agrees to let me handle it, I’ll take it.”Michael heard the sarcasm in Liz’s voice and jabbed a finger at her. “You’re unbelievable!” he snapped.Liz had no patience left. She looked down and began reading her files. After a long, tense silence, he realized she wasn’t going to say another word. With a cold snort, he stood up and stormed out.The moment he reached the ground floor, his phone rang. It was Kimberly.“Michael,” she shouted furiously, “after everything I’ve done for this family, after giving you a son and a daughter, you want to divorce me now? Dream on! I’ll haunt you even if I die!”He had heard this same threat so many times that he was numb to it. “Do whatever you want. I’ll see you in court.”In the past, every time Kimberly wanted something, she would throw around the word “divorce.” This time, he was determined to teach her a lesson. And if the divorce actually went through,

But now, every beautiful illusion Kimberly once clung to had crumbled.She couldn’t lie to herself anymore. She had been wrong—so painfully, so completely wrong.“Mom, why aren’t you saying anything? You didn’t go, did you?”Mandy stared at Kimberly, her eyes full of disbelief and hurt. “Eric Lincoln is the only one who can save me now. If you don’t go to him, I might really end up in prison.”Kimberly sat down across from her, her expression cool. “I went. He said he doesn’t know you.”“What?”Mandy’s eyes widened. “That’s impossible. How could he say he doesn’t know me?”“What exactly is your relationship with him?”Confronted by Kimberly’s questioning tone, Mandy’s confidence wavered. “We’re just friends from overseas.”“A regular friend? And you think someone like that would help you after you’ve been arrested for a crime?”Mandy bit her lip. “Mom, what are you trying to say?”“What am I trying to say? Mandy, I’ve always seen you as my pride and joy. But today I’ve reali
