    Brendan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before continuing. "ine admitted that the person who hurt her wasn''t Lauren?"


    Keh turned pale, his mind involuntarily shing back to the chaotic scene at the hospital. Back then, Lauren had been desperately trying to prove her innocence, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.


    And he had blindly obstructed ine from identifying Willow. Now, recalling that


    day, his heart ached and his guilt towards Lauren deepened.


    Keh slowly began to speak, his voice deep and heavy as if each word weighed a ton, "No, it wasn''t


    Lauren."


    "Who was it then?" Brielle stared intensely at Keh, her voice tense with anger, "Who was so cruel to push ine down the stairs? If ine hadn''t been lucky, she would have died."


    This time, Keh fell silent. He and his sister had grown up with Willow, and he knew her character better than anyone.


    The incident five years ago might not have been Lauren''s doing, and it certainly wasn''t Willow acting maliciously. It was likely that Willow had identally bumped into ine, who then lost her bnce and fell down the stairs.


    Moreover, ine was Willow''s best friend. Willow had no reason to harm her.


    Ultimately, he med ine herself for her clumsiness, which he believed led to the fall.


    And Lauren too, why admit to something you didn''t do? If you hadn''t confessed, you wouldn''t have served five years in prison, and I wouldn''t be feeling guilty now. Keh thought,pletely forgetting that initially, it wasn''t about whether Lauren admitted guilt.


    It was because Elliot gave false testimony, Alice deleted surveince footage, and Lucas, as the defense attorney, twisted the facts, while he, Keh, never gave Lauren a chance to exin.


    It was them, the people closest to Lauren, who had pushed her into the abyss.


    Now, he med Lauren for not proving her innocence, forgetting that she had no evidence to do so.


    "Just say it!" Brielle shouted, driven by her emotions.


    Keh remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal the name, his attitude of shielding the real culprit thoroughly infuriating Brendan and Brielle.


    ine was their younger daughter, pampered and cherished from a young age. As a noble of the Gray Corporation group, she could get whatever she wanted, the princess held in the palm of the entire family.


    Yet, this beloved daughter had been transformed by her vegetative state. As parents, seeing their precious child in such a condition was heart-wrenching. Imprisoning Lauren had not quenched their thirst for revenge, which is why they had people torment Lauren in prison. Now, to be told they had targeted the wrong person...


    And their son was still protecting the real culprit.

    Keh remained silent.


    Thinking of his daughter lying bedridden for five years, asionally suffering from bedsores despite careful nursing, and looking as gaunt as a corpse, Brendan felt an uncontroble surge of anger. He raised his hand and pped Keh several times.


    "You worthless thing, do you even care about your sister? Do you know how much your mother and I suffered at the Brooker''s vi to get you out? Felix gave us just one day. If we don''t give him a satisfactory answer tomorrow, the Gray family might go bankrupt. And here you are, still hiding the truth."


    Brielle, tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Kenn, if you won''t reveal the culprit, can you at least tell us where ine is?"


    Keh, his face bruised and eyes tearful, looked agonized and guilty.


    This time, he couldn''t hide it anymore.


    His voice was low and hoarse, "ine is at an estate located in Mave."


    "You ungrateful child!" Brendan shoved Keh away, "ine is your own sister! She spent five years as a vegetable, only to be sent abroad by you as soon as she woke up. Do you even have a heart? You''re a beast!"


    He stood up, towering over Keh, "You better pray nothing''s wrong with ine, or you and I are not done."


    Turning to Brielle, he said, "Let''s go get ine back home. I want to ask her myself who dared to harm her. I''ll make them pay dearly."
