Silently, she rose from the bed and padded barefoot toward the door.

Back in the living room, Camila asked, “Have you settled your familial affairs?"

"Well, the Guzman family has collapsed. I've severed ties with Divya.

Now I call the shots around home," Forrest divulged.

After a moment's hesitation, Camila posed, “Was Laura killed by the Guzman family?"

Forrest evaded her gaze as he reluctantly confessed, "Indeed."

Camila perceived his countenance and inquired, "What? Is there more?"

Forrest remained reticent.

It pained him to disclose the truth that his own mother played a leading role in hurting Laura.

Though Divya might have goaded her family into deceiving his mother, it was she who carried out the act!

By all logical reasoning, his mother too was an accomplice.

He had dealt with the Guzman family this time, yet he refrained from holding his mother accountable.

“Never mind if you're unwilling to divulge," Camila said.

“No," Forrest admitted shamefully.

"My mother was involved."

Camila regretted asking upon hearing his confession.

Forrest must have been in a pickle.

He found himself torn between the woman he loved and his biological mother.

Truly, he was trapped in an arduous dilemma!

Camila skillfully redirected the conversation.
