However, Lisa's threats were useless. Edna was motivated by benefit, after all. She soon revealed
everything about what happened back then.
"I didn't know that the milk was poisoned, and I even wanted to drink it myself. But after I drank it, I had
to go to the hospital. After some tests, I found out that there was something wrong with the milk.
"Then, I talked to Lisa about it, and that was how I found out about her plans. Later on, I stopped giving
the milk to the girl."
Edna accused Lisa, saying, "She tricked me back then, so if you want someone to blame, blame her. If
I hadn't stopped the poisoning in time, the girl wouldn't have survived."
Olivia chuckled. "Madam Todd, you're not completely free from blame either. You didn't feed her the
poison because you feared that someone might trace it to you.
"So, you used a more direct method. You tricked her into turning back so that she would get washed
away by the flood."
The family was filled with evil, but Molly somehow managed to survive even under such circumstances.

all alone in the countryside, and I had no source of income. How could I raise a child?
"She was supposed to go to school when she was seven, but my damned daughter refused to give me
even a penny.
"Instead of letting the girl live with a poor old woman like me, I thought it'd be better if she could rest in
peace."
No matter what Edna's motives were back then, she had saved Molly's life by stopping the poisoning.
"Madam Todd, we called you here just to be a witness to what happened back then. You just have to
cooperate with the police and tell them clearly about these things."
Closing her eyes, Lisa seemed disheartened. "Mrs. Heath, I don't mind dying, but I hope you can let
Krystal off the hook.
"You've put in effort to raise her, after all. She's at least an adopted daughter to you. If she gets jailed,
her whole life will be ruined!"
While Lisa was begging Tatiana with all her might, Krystal finally came to her senses.
"You mean... I'm not from the Heath family?"
Lisa waved at her. "Krystal, come here. Beg Mrs. Heath and Mr. Linus for mercy with me so that they'll
let you off the hook."
Krystal's face turned pale, and her gaze was blank. This was the most shocking revelation to her.
"Krystal..."
Krystal pointed at Molly. "So, she's the real daughter of the Heath family, and I'm just a daughter of a
lowly maid?"
Lisa had taken attentive care of Krystal. She had helped Krystal from dressing up to massaging her
feet. So, when Krystal said those words, it was quite hurtful.
Frowning, Linus explained, "She's your mother."
"My mother?" Krystal mumbled, "My mother is Tatiana, not this lowly maid!"
"Why would you do this?" Krystal slowly walked toward Lisa. "I was doing just fine in the Heath family.
Why would you do this to me?"

"I'm sorry, Krystal. I did this just to give you a better life. I had no other choice."
She had done all this for Krystal so that Krystal could enjoy a life of luxury. But in the end, Krystal didn't
feel bad for her at all. Instead, Krystal blamed her.
Lisa looked at Krystal with teary eyes. "Krystal, I'll shoulder all the responsibility. Before I go to jail, can
you please call me 'Mom' one last time?"
Krystal walked up to her with a cold expression. It was as if she was talking to a stranger. "Mom."
Krystal spoke in a low voice, and Lisa replied joyfully, "Yes, dear."
In the next moment, Lisa's expression froze as she sensed immense pain coming from her stomach.
Lowering her head, she realized that Krystal was holding a knife, which was now sticking out of her
body.
Blood traveled along the knife and dripped onto the soft rug.
"You're not worthy." Krystal grinned hysterically.
"Krystal."
Krystal's eyes weren't focused at all. She mumbled, "I've killed the lowly maid. She's not my mom."
Then, she slowly walked toward Tatiana. "Mom, I can only be your daughter."
