Unbeknownst to him, Gail and Rosalynn had already made their reunion.

He mistakenly believed his arrest stemmed solely from the car accident.

Fortune seemed to favor this woman excessively.

“Officer, might I pose a few questions to him?" Gail stepped forward, addressing the police with courtesy.

Given the Moreno family's esteemed status in Skrix, the officers parted, affording her passage.

Approaching Beal, Gail gazed at the countenance she knew so well and inquired, "Beal, did you covertly dispatch my daughter elsewhere? Why did you do that?"

At first, Beal met her words with shock, then his features contorted.

Did Gail uncover the events of that year?

Had they come to recognize one another?

It seemed his secrets had unraveled!

Selina, witnessing her father's silent stance, clenched her jaw, surged forward, and delivered a slap across his cheek.

"Dad, is that true? Did you indeed take her child away? And upon discovering Rosalynn was her progeny, did you concoct a plot to end her, fearing the past might resurface?"

The slap left Beal reeling.

He felt Selina's turmoil and her trembling presence. Touching his stinging cheek, he bowed his head in submission.

“This was my doing."

Acceptance of guilt was his only option.

This scheme had been his doing, not his daughter's.

"Dad, why did you do this? They showed you nothing but kindness. How could you betray them?"

Selina's relief was palpable as her father shouldered the blame.

Her involvement remained unspoken.
