chapter 9
Stella suddenly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:[]
“Sis! Why are you making fake videos to frame Connor!“]]
“He’s everyone’s lifesaver! How can you do this to him!“]

Vincent and Stella shared a father–daughter relationship.]
The entire venue went absolutely nuclear!]]
If the murder conspiracy was shocking enough, this news was like a nuclear bomb![]
The so–called stepsister was actually a secret illegitimate daughter hidden for over twenty years!
Grace had infiltrated our home as a nanny, usurping my mother’s position!]
And Vincent, this seemingly upright Ocean Bureau director, had been deceiving everyone for over twenty years![]
