With a pitiful expression adorning her face, Elvira continued, "I wanted to spare you for Waylen's sake but, Rena, you have crossed a line. I know you have always harbored hatred towards me but I never expected you to desire my demise."

In a deep, authoritative tone, Lyndon interjected, “Rena, I will convince Elvira to forego legal proceedings, but you'll have to apologize to her!"

Vera could not contain her frustration and let out a curse under her breath.

“sir, have you lost your sanity? If there is a mentally unstable person in your household, do not unleash her to harm others indiscriminately.

Not only may you fail to inflict harm upon others, but you may also land yourself in jail."

Vera, aware of the connection between Lyndon and Rena, was consumed by worry for Rena's well-being.

Undeterred, Vera pressed on, her voice carrying a tinge of accusation,

“Lyndon Coleman! You are nothing compared to Mr. Gordon!

Rena was raised with utmost indulgence by Mr. Gordon, who shielded her from any sense of injustice. I recall my college days when, during rainfall, he would arrive with an umbrella to shelter Rena. Once, at the school gate, when rainwater pooled deeply, Mr. Gordon, despite being over fifty years old, carried Rena on his back.

During those moments, envy pervaded Rena's classmates."

Vera yearned to express more, to delve deeper into her concerns.

However, Rena gently halted her, saying, "There's no need."

Rena directed her gaze towards the policemen, a serene smile gracing her Lips.

"I possess surveillance footage, complete with audio. Today,

Miss Coleman intentionally cut her wrist and falsely accused me without cause. She either suffers from a mental ailment or is deliberately engaging in criminal behavior. Now, I will present the evidence and formally press charges against her for defamation and personal injury.”

Upon Rena‘s concluding words, her secretary promptly unveiled the video.

The policemen watched the footage with unwavering attention...

Elvira's countenance underwent a dramatic change.

“Rena, you are so conniving. You set me up.”

“Silence!" Lyndon reprimanded Elvira sharply.

He felt his heart shatter. He had never anticipated such actions from Elvira.

He had never imagined that she would orchestrate such a scheme against Rena.
