Anneliese had completely lost faith in the Whites.

But to everyone’s surprise, she suddenly smiled and eased herself back onto the couch, settling into a posture that screamed let’s talk.
Selina felt a jolt in her chest, utterly thrown by Anneliese’s unpredictability.
“Alright then, you’re willing to do anything, huh?” Anneliese curled her lips in a teasing smirk, intrigued despite herself.
In that moment, Selina felt like a bird caught in someone’s teasing hands, sensing the bright, cutting edge of Anneliese’s malice.
Yet the rest of the Whites seemed overjoyed, oblivious as ever.
The family who had just been worried for Selina now watched her stand frozen, not saying a word, and even nudged her impatiently. A wave of sorrow and anger rolled through her, but she forced a pale smile. “Yeah… I’ll do whatever you want.”
Anneliese clapped her hands. “Perfect. Now confess–admit to hiring those thugs four years ago to try and take my life.”
She picked up her phone, dialing the police station for Selina, and set it on the table with a clear gesture.

about everyone who “Just call now. Confess exactly like I said. And make sure you tell the helped you cover it up. I promise, White Inc.’s missing funds will be back in your account within two days, operations restored.”
When she finished speaking, the room fell into a suffocating silence.
Back then, there had been four thugs involved, all of them sentenced for robbery and assault.
The ringleader, who got the heaviest sentence, had finally served his time and walked out of prison last year. After that, he vanished somewhere in Oceaton, entirely off the grid.
Anneliese had eavesdropped on the truth and didn’t just sit on it. She hired three private detective agencies to reopen the case, hoping to gather some evidence.
But too much time had passed. The Whites had cleaned up every trace so thoroughly that nothing remained. There was no evidence, and not even the ringleader could be found.

“How is this even possible!” Melanie blurted, her voice sharp with shock.

Timothy frowned and shot her a look. Melanie quickly added, “Anne, whatever happened back then has nothing to do with Selina. Why won’t you believe me? You can’t just demand that she turn herself in. Even if you dislike her, you can’t go that far…”
Melanie realized just in time that Anneliese might be recording.
Timothy smiled at Anneliese. “Anne, can we try asking something else?”
Selina sniffed and said, “I won’t confess to something I didn’t do.” There was a sharp, almost defiant gleam in her eyes.
I think that with the Whites‘ selfish coldness, it’s a sign of genuine affection that they don’t push Selina forward in a moment like this.
Anneliese didn’t feel disappointed. Honestly, she had never expected Selina to really come forward.
Anneliese let out a self–mocking laugh. “See, even now, Selina is still the precious one in your whole family. So maybe you should be the ones begging her to handle the White Inc. crisis.”
Anneliese’s patience had run out. She had already given the Whites their chance. She stood up and walked toward the door.
Selina’s eyes were dark with a stormy shadow.
Anneliese is downright vicious. With her making this demand, the moment White Inc. hits rock bottom, everyone will blame me!
She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, but before anyone could react, she collapsed to her knees with a heavy thud, wrapping her arms tightly around Anneliese’s legs.
“Anne, I was wrong! Please, I’m begging you to help our family. I know you despise me, and I’m willing to cut all ties with the Whites. From now on, you’ll be the only heiress of the Whites.
“A family like the Fullbusters would never accept an orphan as their lady. Jonathan’s male relatives, their wives all come from impressive backgrounds. Anne, by helping the Whites, you’re really helping yourself too. You’d be securing your own standing in the Fullbusters. Don’t you see?”
Selina’s words were heartfelt and desperate. Everything she said focused on the Whites and on Anneliese. She was willing to give up all her own interests and even disappear from the Whites entirely.

Melanie couldn’t stand it. After seeing her pampered Selina stoop so low, break her pride like this, she felt a rush of pain and emotion. She leapt off the hospital bed and rushed over, grabbing Selina. “No! Selina, you can’t leave. How could I ever lose you?”
Selina stayed on her knees, refusing to rise. “Mom… no, Mrs. White, please don’t say anything. I don’t care what happens to me, as long as the Whites are safe. Consider it my way of repaying you and Mr. White for all the years you’ve cared for me.”
Melanie always felt bitter and stung after hearing Selina call her Mrs. White. But that moment pierced her heart like nothing she had ever felt.
Tears streamed down her cheeks without a thought. She fell to the floor, clutching Selina, and the two of them sobbed together, head to head.
Christopher and Perseus stepped forward and helped pull Melanie and Selina up, supporting them firmly.
