“Amelia, what you’ve said is wrong,” Irene calmly remarked while sitting at the table, leisurely sipping
her coffee. “Don’t you blush when you lie in front of a child? Back then, you were jealous of me being
with Warren, so you deliberately pushed me down the stairs, attempting to take two lives with one fall.
Fortunately, I survived, but sadly, the child in my womb…”
Irene spoke, deliberately looking at Aiden, “If my child were still alive, he would be about the same age
as Aiden now.”
“Irene, shut up!” Amelia said, fully aware that Irene was deliberately making those statements in front of
Aiden. Conflicts between adults should not spill over to involve children.
“Are you feeling guilty? Otherwise, why would you get so worked up?” Irene smiled faintly, stood up,
and walked slowly toward Aiden.
“Do you know? Back then, your daddy and I were together, but your mommy was jealous because your
daddy liked me. So, she hurt me and the baby in my womb. Just think about it, your mommy killed a
child the same age as you!”
Irene maintained a smiling demeanor but uttered such harsh words in front of the child.
Aiden was a precocious child, and he could
However, he refused to believe them no matter what.
understand Irene’s words.
“That’s not true! Mommy didn’t do that! Mommy told me she never hurt anyone!” Aiden shouted at the
top of his lungs.
“That is just a lie your mommy told you. If she didn’t hurt me, why did she go to jail? People in prison
are usually bad people!” Irene said as she reached out to touch Aiden’s face.
“Don’t touch Aiden!” Amelia forcefully pushed Irene’s hand away, fearing that she had malicious
intentions toward Aiden.
However, she hadn’t expected that her action, which was meant to be a simple push to deflect Irene’s
hand away, would turn into something more dramatic. At most, it was supposed to cause Irene’s hand
some brief difort.
Nevertheless, Irene was thrown back as if she had been hit with a tremendous force. Her whole body
leaned back exaggeratedly, and her back hit the tablecloth, which in turn tore it, causing all the objects
on the table to suddenly fall on her with a tumultuous tter, leaving her in a disheveled state.
“Ah…” Irene cried out in pain.
Ivy hurriedly rushed to Irene’s side, supporting her. She yelled at Amelia, “You’ve hurt Irene once. Isn’t
that enough? Do you want to hurt her again? How can you be so malicious?”

Thomas seethed with even greater anger as he eximed, “If anything happens to Irene, I won’t let you
off the hook, Amelia!”
As Amelia observed the scene before her, she clearly understood that the people from the Fletcher
family were deliberately framing her and doing it right in front of Aiden.
“Are they trying to manipte Aiden into believing that I’m truly a malicious person? Even resorting to
such a ploy. However, if their intention was merely to sow misunderstanding in Aiden’s mind, why did
Irene go to such lengths to make herself look so disheveled? They could have used a simpler method
unless it’s…”
In Amelia’s mind, a particr suspicion fleetingly crossed her mind. Just then, the door to the private
room abruptly swung open, and a familiar, cold voice rang out, “What’s going on here?”
Amelia’s body stiffened in an instant, and her breath caught in her throat.
The suspicion that lingered in her mind suddenly became a reality in that fleeting
moment.
Irene actually wanted Warren to witness the scene and wanted him to condemn her once again.
‘Why? Why would Irene go to such extremes? I’ve already stepped back, but apparently, a person’s
heart can turn so malicious.
Even though Irene was about to marry Warren, she still conspired to frame me marry Warren, she still
conspired to frame me again. But to Warren, I’m merely someone he despised. What was there to
frame me for?
Was she worried that Warren might develop feelings for me again?’ Those thoughts raced through
Amelia’s mind, and she was on the verge ofughing at the absurdity of it all. She raised a hand and
gently removed the hearing aid from Aiden’s ear.
She didn’t want Aiden to overhear the ensuing conversation, as it would be too cruel for him.
The animosity between adults should not cast a shadow of hatred on her child’s heart. She didn’t want
Aiden to live in hatred in the future.
She only hoped that Aiden would lead a happy life in the future.
Aiden was stunned. He looked up at Amelia in confusion, not understanding why she had suddenly
removed his hearing aid.
“Irene, don’t you think what you’re doing is useless? In the past, when you tried to frame me out of fear
that Warren might develop feelings for me, it might have had some semnce of reason. But now,
even if I were to die in front of him, he would only see me as an obstacle to his perception. With me in
this state, what’s left of me for you to plot against?” Amelia’s tone grew cold. “Or is it that your
rtionship isn’t strong enough to require this constant suspicion and plotting?” Irene seethed with
intense inner resentment, wishing she could tear Amelia’s.

mouth apart. But for now, she had to continue pretending to be “feeble”.
Of course, in truth, she was in considerable pain, as the items from the table had indeed fallen onto
her.

Ivy, who was standing next to her, began to berate Amelia, “You wicked woman! You’re jealous of
Irene, and you pushed her on purpose to hurt her. Fortunately, I found the coffee here too hot and had
it reced with a cold one. If it had been hot, Irene’s face would have been disfigured. Amelia, you’re
so cruel!”
Thomas joined the rebuke, saying, “Amelia, what has the Fletcher family done wrong to you that you
would go to such extremes to hurt Irene? She willingly treated your son as her own, and yet you acted
impulsively without any reason.”
“Did you cause this to happen to Irene?” Warren asked sternly, grabbing Amelia’s arm and demanding,
“Why did you do this?”
“What if I told you she was the one who framed me? Would you believe it?” Amelia replied calmly,
seemingly unconcerned by Warren’s anger at that moment. She gently pulled Aiden closer into her
embrace with her other hand, cradling his small head.
She didn’t want Aiden to witness such an ugly scene.
Aiden seemed a little frightened at that moment, his body trembling and his tiny hands clinging to both
sides of Amelia’s clothing.
“Why would Irene frame you? What could you possibly have that would make her plot against you?”
Warren asked angrily. The words she had spoken upon his entrance to the private room still echoed in
his mind, and he found them extremely irritating.
He couldn’t understand why, even though he had explicitly told her not to die before him and not to
cloud his perception, hearing those words from her mouth made him feel repulsed.
“You should ask Irene that question. I also find it strange why she would want to frame me.” Amelia
used almost all her strength to pull her hand from his grasp.
