“But I was a bit scared at the time, so I didn’t throw as much…” The man said.
“What does that have to do with us?” udine stomped her foot. “Just because someone tried to hurt
her, so you think wemitted the crime?”
“Whoever lured Leanne there, just confront the nurse and you’ll know,” Curtis said, his gaze sliding
toward the hospital bed. “Although that half a million went through a third party, it’s not untraceable.”
Caleb, coordinating from hisptop, pulled up the transfer evidence. Suzan’s methods weren’t exactly
professional. Even though the money didn’t take a straightforward path, following the trail back to her
wasn’t too difficult.
“This ount is in Ms. Wright’s name.
Upon seeing the ount, Harrington was still defiant, “Faking this record is too easy. It was she who
pushed Suzan. I haven’t even chastised her yet out of respect for the Richardson family, and now you
turn around and use Suzan? I misjudged you!”
Curtis snorted sarcastically. “I’ve been right under your noses since just now. Do you think I could
fabricate all this evidence in such a short time to smear you? Do you think I have the ability to be in two
ces at once?”
Unable to argue back, Harrington was at a loss for words. udine, seeing no way to refute, hurriedly
said, “How could we do such a thing? Whoever threw it at Leanne, you
deal with them.”
The man suddenly fell to his knees in front of Curtis, “You promised if I came forward, y wouldn’t
pursue me. You have to keep your word.”
Curtis remained nonmittal and nudged the man who was too close to Leanne, away
with his foot.
“Go get some hot water.”
Leanne was startled and looked up at him quickly.
Curtis met her innocent, wide-eyed stare and let out a sigh, his voice filled with resignation, “I said you
shouldn’te.”
Leanne wasn’t sure if he was just bluffing or serious. If it came down to an eye for an eye, it would be
satisfying, but it would definitely mean burning bridges with the Wright family.
The man quickly returned from the kitchen with a pot of boiling water, cing it on the table and hastily
retreated, fearing being held ountable if he lingered.
At the sight of the kettle, Suzan stiffened her entire body, “Curtis, what are you implying?”
“An eye for an eye,” Curtis replied, his gaze icy as he looked at her. “Out of past respect

between our families, I could let you off this once. Whatever ns you had, I won’t
pursue them. Whatever degree Leanne was burned, you’ll be burned the same, and we’ll
call it even.”
udine gasped, “How can you be so cruel?”
“Cruel?” Curtis twisted his lips in a cold smirk. “When you plotted against Leanne, did you not think
yourselves cruel?”
“I’ve been more than generous. Mrs. Wright, if it pains you, you can take the burn for
Suzan.”
“You!” udine found herself at a loss for words.
Suzan clenched her fists so tightly her nails nearly pierced her palms, “What right do you have to treat
me this way? I know you want to protect Leanne, but you can’t just make me the scapegoat!”
Curtis responded nonchntly, “Scapegoat? What a joke!”
His ability to infuriate was unmatched, leaving the Wright family defeated. Harrington, fuming, sought
out Jennifer for exnations, “Jennifer, are you just going to stand there and let him run amok? You’re
here today and owe me an exnation!”
Since entering the hospital room, Jennifer had remained neutral, her brow furrowing deeper as the
situation unfolded.
All eyes were now on her.
Leanne, fingers twisted together, watched Jennifer whose expression was unreadable.
Truth be told, Leanne wasn’t sure if Jennifer would side with her.
Under watchful eyes, Jennifer finally spoke, her voice calm and measured, “I raised
Leanne. I trust her character.”
