“No, Lorenzo, listen to me. There’s been a misunderstanding. What I said earlier was forced. I had my reasons.”

Lorenzo’s hand gripped her arm harder.

“I heard everything with my own ears. What other excuses do you have left?”

Norene stood there, unable to find the right words. She just shook her head in despair.

“I used to feel so guilty. I thought I wasn’t doing enough for you, that I hadn’t been the father I should have been. That’s why I signed the donor waiver for Gavin. But now I know you were behind the car accident.”

Lorenzo’s eyes burned with rage, and his grip on her arm grew even tighter.

“The worst part is that I gave up my own daughter’s life for someone else’s kid. You took her from me, Norene. How could you be so cold-hearted? Haven’t you ever felt yourself sinful?”

Lorenzo abruptly let go of her, and Norene was thrown to the floor by the force. Tears of frustration rolled down her cheeks, but Lorenzo felt no pity.

“Lorenzo, I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I never thought things would end up like this,” she said, her voice breaking.

Gracie’s expression turned stiff as she realized that, from the very beginning, Norene had always planned badly for both her and Paulina.

Sharp as ice, as she clung to his leg, Gracie asked, “Do you honestly think I would ever trust you again?” His gaze was colder than before, cutting deep into Norene.

Zaria, watching this unfold, stepped forward and slapped Norene twice. “Betraying my son like that — two slaps are nothing compared to what you deserve,” she said coldly.

She grabbed Norene by the hair.

“You think I’m unbearable and cruel? Very well, let me just show you my real cruelty!”

The sharp tug on Norene’s scalp made her wince in pain. “Zaria, I didn’t mean it, ah—”

Zaria didn’t stop. She yanked at Norene’s hair and clothes, while Lorenzo just stood there, doing nothing.

Joseph, maybe in shock, stared blankly at the door, lost in thought.

Norene, struggling to break free, took a few steps back and shouted, “Lorenzo, what gives you the right to talk to me like that? Didn’t you and Mona betray me too? Don’t think I don’t know she’s carrying your baby. It’s a shame she didn’t burn to death in that fire.”
