Mrs. Wilson was exhausted. She knew her son and daughter both resented her strict parenting, but if she let her guard down for even a moment, they would get into trouble.


    She had been so consumed with raising her children that she had beenpletely oblivious to her husband''s decade-long affair.


    The moment his affair was exposed, that monster had tried to kill her.


    Natalie took a deep breath. "Mrs. Wilson, just a moment."


    She took out her phone and called Luna. "Luna, find out where Sophia is right now." "On it!"


    ***


    After returning homest night, Sophia had managed to cate Nathan by selling him on a grand fantasy. She promised him that she would take over the Wilson family and that he would live the life of a rich heir. Nathan had fallen for itpletely.


    This afternoon, she was out shopping with Evelyn Carrington. She had to keep the Wilson family happy to get more money out of them.


    By keeping Evelyn happy, she could keep Old Wilson happy, and all of his money would end up in her pocket.


    ***


    Natalie waited for half an hour before she received a message from Luna.


    Natalie looked at Mrs. Wilson. "Mrs. Wilson, do you want to know why you could never get through to your daughter? It''s because there was a third person between you, poisoning your rtionship. Now that you''re able to move, how about I take you out for a bit? You can see for yourself why your daughter hates you so much."


    Only by seeing the truth and epting reality would Mrs. Wilson understand and believe her.


    Mrs. Wilson was afraid. The child she had so carefully raised would...


    But after a near-death experience, there was nothing she couldn''t face.


    She nodded firmly. "Okay!"


    Natalie got her some warm clothes, a scarf, a mask, and a hat. Then, she found a wheelchair and pushed Mrs. Wilson downstairs.


    Luna was already waiting for them.


    Luna and Natalie helped Mrs. Wilson into the car, and Natalie sat beside her.


    Luna got into the driver''s seat and headed for the downtown shopping mall.


    Once they were in the underground parking garage, Natalie spoke. "Mrs. Wilson, your daughter and Sophia


    are V


    mall, shopping forclothes. Let''s go up and take a look content


    Mrs. Wilson looked at her, her eyes welling with tears. "Natalie, I..."


    "Ma''am, we can''t live our lives in denial. How long can a well-intentioned liest? And how long can you be happy by deceiving yourself?"


    In this new life, she would no longer hide the fact that she had saved Sebastian. Being a silent hero was seen as shameless in the eyes of others.


    If no one saw her good deeds when she did them quietly, then she would just have to be open about them.


    There was nothing wrong with taking credit for what she had done, for the life she had saved.


    If others felt no burden, why should she?


    This time, she wouldn''t hide her good deeds.


    Tears streamed down Mrs. Wilson''s


    face. A moment ago, she had wanted to deceive herself, to believe her daughter wouldn''t be seen shopping with a mistress, but reality always delivered a harsh p in the face.


    She forced a smile. "Let''s go up, Natalie. Whatever the oue, I''m ready to ept


    it."


    Natalie put on her mask and tied her hair into a ponytail before pushing the


    wheelchair upstairs. Luna followed at a distance, protecting them.


    They soon reached the women''s clothing department on the third floor. Mrs. Wilson saw her daughter linking arms with Sophia, choosing clothes together with an air of C intimacy in that instant, Mrs Wilson, felt her blood run cold.
