She couldn't risk losing the safety the Moreno family provided for this!

“It was all my fault. My actions are deeply regrettable."

Tears began to brim in Beal's eyes, a man filled with remorse.

Gail regarded him silently, her gaze laden with disillusionment.

For generations, the Forbes family had served the Moreno family faithfully.

She and her spouse had shown nothing but kindness to the Forbes family, yet they had inadvertently nurtured a traitor.

“Beal, was this scheme solely your plot? There's no one else with you?" Lyndon inquired, his demeanor icy.

Beal met his gaze, nodded affirmatively, and confessed, “Indeed, the plot was mine alone."

“Really? Enlighten me then. How did you come to learn that Rosa is the daughter of the Morenos?" Lyndon pressed.

A flash of panic crossed Beal's eyes as he reflexively glanced at Selina.

Selina, heart pounding, faced Lyndon and queried, “Lyndon, what are you implying?"

His voice was frigid as he deduced, "He wasn't alone in this plot."

Selina blanched and said, "Are you insinuating my involvement too?"

Lyndon sought confirmation, "Are you truly innocent?"

Tears welled in Selina's eyes as she insisted, “Indeed, I only shared Rosalynn's plight as a daughter does with her father. My knowledge ended there."

"Indeed, Selina is unaware. I personally encountered Rosalynn and observed her resemblance to young Mrs. Moreno, sparking my suspicion,"

Beal interjected in Selina's defense.

"Is that so? Many people in the world resemble each other. Why conclude that Rosalynn is the child you took away years ago?" Brian interrogated with a frosty edge.

A sheen of sweat betrayed Beal's anxiety.

How would he extricate his daughter from this predicament?
