At this moment, the door swung open, and Albert walked in.

Aline gazed at Albert's young and handsome face, trembling with fear.

She couldn't believe that the man she'd been intimate with had been plotting against her.

He had never even tried to please her.

It had been her who had willingly placed everything in front of him.

Rena whispered in a low voice, "Aline, do you think Albert resembles someone?"

Aline froze, realizing the implication of Rena's words. She implied Harold.

Rena's eyes fell to the necklace in her hand. She sneered, "The more people ignore you, the more you desire them. Aline, you've lost to yourself. You can't accept that Harold died because of you. You don't like Albert, yet you subconsciously see him as a replacement for Harold."

Aline protested, "I don't!"

She couldn't contain her emotions any longer and shouted, “I didn't kill him! He took the drugs and went to see you. Whom can you blame?

Me? He died because of his feelings for you. Rena, you're the one who should feel guilty!"

Rena smiled faintly.

Just then, a mother and daughter entered the room. They were Harold's mother and sister.

Krista's face turned ashen when she heard Aline's words. She approached Aline and grabbed her by the neck, attempting to confront her.

“You wretch! You gave those drugs to Harold! Worse still, you didn't warn him when you knew he had to drive! What a vicious wretch!"

As Harold's mother, Krista was compelled to strike Aline.

Even though Aline was younger and stronger, she couldn't escape Krista's grasp.

Krista choked Aline and cried out to her daughter, “Addie, slap this wretch's face hard, or your brother couldn't rest in peace."

Addie sobbed and slapped Aline hard across the face.

Her strike was forceful, causing Aline's face to swell.

Addie's sharp nails pierced into Aline's flesh. Aline's face was disfigured.

Aline screamed desperately, "Albert, help me! Help me!"
