Olive’s joy was a wonderful sight as she rushed to embrace her mother. The room seemed to light up with her happiness, their
reunion a bittersweet moment amid the heavy atmosphere. Scarlett returned her daughter’s hug, her eyes filled with a mix of
relief and longing.
“| missed you so much,” Olive said, her voice shaking.
Scarlett’s ‘s gaze lingered on Olive, her heartache apparent. “I missed you too, sweetpea. I’m so sorry | missed your birthday.”
Olive shook her head. “Evie helped me celebrate. They even recorded it, so you can look back and see everything that
happened!”
“Oh, that’s wonderfull” Scarlett said breathlessly.
As they held each other, Scarlett’s eyes found mine. “Evie, thank you for taking care of her.”
| offered a soft smile, though my anxiety about the situation remained. “Of course, Scarlett. Olive was an amazing guest.”
As the mother and daughter shared a tender moment, my attention shifted to Ste, who had remained on the outskirts of the
room. She watched the reunion with a mixture of longing and resentment.
Ste finally stepped forward, her voice tinged with an attempt at warmth. “Scarlett, you''re feeling better?”
Scarlett’s warm demeanor seemed to snap just then, reced by something cold and stiff. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Ste didn’t budge. “I’m your sister. | have a right to be here.”
Scarlett’s expression shifted, doubt and suspicion creeping in. “Sister? | could hardly call you that at this point.”

Ste’s gaze fell, and her shoulders slumped. “I walked out, yes, but I’m here now. Everyone...copes differently.” The room grew
heavy with unspoken tension. Scarlett’s voice was edged with frustration. “Ste, why are you really here? Is it about the estate
again? Did you have a hand in what happened to me?”
Ste’s eyes widened, hurt and surprise etched on her face. “Scarlett, how can you even think that? | would never do something
like that, no matter how much we''ve fought.”
Scarlett’s voice was harsh, her doubts unrestrained. “You''ve always resented me, Ste. You wanted the estate, and you were
willing to do whatever it took.
Ste’s face contorted in anger, and she shot back, “I may have resented you, but | would never have you shot! You’re my
sister.”
The atmosphere in the room grew thick with tension as Scarlett’s revtion hung in the air like a heavy shroud. | looked at her,
stunned by her usations, and she returned my gaze with a mixture of anger and frustration.
“That can’t be true, Scarlett,” | finally managed to say, my voice shaking. “I have no idea who would want to do this to you, but I
think Ste’s telling the truth.”
Scarlett’s frustration was evident as she snapped back, “You expect me to believe that, Evie? After all we’ve been through, you
can’t just brush this off.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

| took a deep breath, my thoughts racing to make sense of the situation. “Scarlett, it''s possible that someone from my past is
trying to destroy me. There have been times when | felt like | was being watched, but | never connected it to you.”
Scarlett’s eyes bore into mine, her anger simmering just below the surface. “This feels personal, Evic. It''s more likely that Ste
is involved.”
Ste had remained silent during our exchange, her eyes darting between Scarlett and me, her expression carefullyposed.
Now she stepped forward, her voice firm. “Scarlett, how could you use me of something like this?”
Scarlett shot back, her anger unrelenting. “Ste, we have proof of your affair with Timothy’s brother, Andy. You would be
vengeful enough to do this.”
Ste’s lips curved into a mocking smile, her tone condescending. And who would believe that proof? Especially when it’s
coming from a nobody like you, Scarlett. And Evie? You''re already considered ‘used goods’ in the public eye, which is
scandalous enough.”
Scarlett’s frustration was palpable as she red at her sister. “You think you can just dismiss everything, Ste? We know the
truth, and we have evidence.”
Steughed, a bitter sound filled with contempt. Evidence, Scarlett? I''d love to see what you''ve got. | highly doubt it’s as
incriminating as you im.” Scarlett’s anger red, and she shot back, “Don’t underestimate us, Ste. We have the means to
expose your secrets,”
Ste waved her hand dismissively, her confidence unwavering. | call your bluff, Scarlett. If you had the guts to reveal the so—
called proof, you would have done it already”

| couldn''t stand by any longer, the truth burning inside me. “I did have the nerve to send Timothy the photos.”
Ste’s gaze turned to me in fury. “You? So it was you that told Timothy?”

| took a deep breath, my voice resolute. “Ste, | sent those photos to Timothy because he deserves to know the truth. He
deserves better than to be with someone who''s been unfaithful.”
Ste’s fury was unleashed, and she stepped forward, her voice sharp. “You self-righteous bitch! You had no right to interfere in
my rtionship!” Scarlett’s voice was filled with anger as well. “Ste, we can’t continue living a lie. It’s time to confront the truth.”
The room was filled with simmering emotions, the weight of the revtions and usations hanging heavily in the air. Ste’s
rtionship with
Timothy had been exposed, and the consequences of her infidelity were unraveling before us.
Ste finally spoke, her voice a mix of fury and despair. “You’ve destroyed everything. Evie. | loved him, and now he''ll never
forgive me.”
| felt a pang of guilt, but | couldn’t deny that the truth needed toe to light. “Ste, if your rtionship with Timothy was built
on lies, it was bound to crumble eventually. It’s better that he knows the truth now.”
Ste’s anger red once more, her voice filled with venom. “I hope you''re happy, Evie. You’ve ruined everything”
Scarlett’s voice was firm, her gaze unwavering. “Ste, this was your own doing. You can’t me Evie for exposing the truth. You
also can’t me me
for trusting her with my daughter!”

Ste growled. “Scarlett, that is ridiculous. I’m her aunt. | have every right to take Olive home with me.”
Scarlet’s gaze remained unwavering, her tone firm. “I wouldn’t trust you with my child, Ste, not after everything that’s
happened.
Ste’s face contorted in anger, her voice sharp. “You can’t keep her from me, Scarlett. She’s my family too.”

| watched silently, hardly realizing that my fingers were starting to lose feeling from Olive clenching them so tightly. This was
probably one of thest things she needed to witness.
Ste turned to Olive, her voice soft but tinged with anger. “Olive, don’t you want toe home with me? I’m your family.”
Olive looked torn, her eyes switching between Ste and me. She nced at Scarlett, her eyes filled with uncertainty. “But | like
Evie.”
Scarlett smiled in response. “I know, sweety, and | want you to stay with Evie for a little longer until | feel all better, okay?”
Ste’s patience wore thin, and she snapped, “You’re making a big mistake, Scarlett.”
Scarlett remained resolute. “I don’t trust you, Ste.”
Ste’s anger reached a boiling point, and she stormed out of the room. | watched her go, a sense of unease settling over me.
| turned to Scarlett, my voice soft and careful. “Are you sure about this, Scarlett? | can look after Olive for as long as you need,
but | don’t want toe. between you and your sister.”

Scarlett’s eyes met mine, a mixture of exhaustion and gratitude in her gaze. “Evic, | would appreciate it if you kept Olive for just a
little longer. | trust you to take care of her.”
| nodded. “Of course, Scarlett.”
The room fell into a heavy silence, only the sound of the heart monitor filling the void. Scarlett’s eyes began to flutter, and | could
see a fresh supply of medicine making its way from the IV and into her system.
