Chapter 602 Realization


    "Why don''t you stand in your daughter''s shoes?" Derek had no affection for his mother, who had only


    raised him for a few years. At this moment, he was even more cold-hearted. "Riley is your biological


    daughter. She has suffered such serious harm, but instead of being angry and worried, all you care


    about is your family and your future. Is this how a mother should behave?"


    He then dialed Marcus'' phone.


    Seeing that, Lydia became even more anxious. "Derek, what are you doing?"


    He pushed her away and had a conversation with Marcus, asking him toe back immediately.

    Though she tried to stop him multiple times, she couldn''t interrupt his conversation with Marcus. She


    could only watch as he told Marcus everything that had happened at home.


    Tears streamed down her face, and she pounded his chest with all her strength. "What are you trying to


    do? You… You…"


    "I just want to seek justice for Riley." He grabbed her wrist and stared straight into her eyes. "Mom, I


    just want to seek justice for Riley. Why are you reacting so strongly? Please don''t tell me that you were


    the one who tampered with Riley''s capsules."


    "You''re talking nonsense." She shivered and denied it vehemently. "Are you crazy? Riley is my


    biological daughter. How could I harm her?"


    "If it''s not you, then is it Marcus or Zoe?" He was so angry that he even refused to refer to Marcus as


    Mr. Lynch.


    "No, it''s not them," she said. "Your Mr. Lynch is an upright gentleman, and Zoe is kind and sensible.


    They wouldn''t harm Riley."


    "Since it''s not you, Marcus, or Zoe, why won''t you let me report it to the police? In this household,


    besides the three of you, there are only servants. If it''s not you or them who harmed Riley, then it must


    be the servants. As Riley''s mother, don''t you want to catch the person who harmed her?" said Derek.


    "I…" Lydia stammered, at a loss for words. "Allergies are just a minor issue. I don''t want to cause


    unrest in the family because of such a small matter. Even if it was done by a servant, who knows how


    the news will spread? Those gossipmongers might even falsely use Mr. Lynch and Zoe. How can


    Riley and I continue to interact with them then?"


    "It''s fine," Derek said calmly, looking into her eyes. "I''ve already reported it to the police. They will


    definitely catch the culprit. By then, there will be evidence and witnesses, and no one can spread false


    rumors."


    Upon hearing the word ''culprit,'' her legs almost gave way, and she could barely support her body. Her


    limbs trembled, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. "What nonsense are you


    talking about? Allergies are just a minor issue. The police shouldn''t bother with such a small matter."


    Even though Riley firmly believed that her mother would not harm her, she could tell that something


    was off with Lydia. Nothing seems right; everything seems off.
