Chapter 13

"What were you thinking? Tell me why!"

Blood trickled from Lily's lips. Her eyes flashed with malice as she stared at the brothers with contempt:

"What's the big deal? Yes, I set her up. I just craved more of your affection and care! Is that so terrible?"

"But weren't you the ones who actually ended her life?"

"I fail to see why I'm the target of your fury."

The brothers, previously consumed by anger, suddenly hesitated.

Lily glowered at James and hissed:

"All I wanted was to earn your love. But what about you?"

"You imprisoned Rachel in that basement and then conveniently forgot about her."

"Even if she had endured those three days, the mental scars would likely have driven her to madness!"

James slumped to the floor, burying his face in his hands as he wept uncontrollably.

Lily then shifted her gaze to William and Henry.

"You're all guilty of murder. Await your legal punishment!"

William and Henry also sank down, sobbing in despair.
