Stella’s blood pressure shot straight to the roof the moment she glanced at the video

She demanded, Where did this video come from?” 

It looks like it leaked from some rich kidsgroup chat. But now it’s all over the internet.” 

Without another word, Stella grabbed her phone and called Cedric Clarke

Cedric picked up almost immediately, beating her to the punch: You saw the video too, didn’t you?” 

Stella paused. You saw it as well?” 

Yeah. I’m already in the parking garage. Just come downI’m by Section C.” 

Got it!” 

She hung up and made a beeline for the underground garage

Meanwhile, in a quiet hospital room, Julia slowly opened her eyes

Gee” 

Gina rushed to her side. I’m right here. How are you feeling? Want some water?” 

I want to go home.” 

Gina frowned. “You’re still sick, Julia. You can’t just leave now.” 

The holidays are four days away. I want to spend New Year’s at home.” 

At least wait until Ms. Kensington gets here, okay? We’ll talk it over together.” 

If I go home, she’ll come home too.” 

Julia pushed herself upright, meeting Gina’s worried gaze, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Gee, all of you have been hiding things from me. But I have cancer. If Dr. Lockwood hadn’t slipped up this morning, I’d still 

have no idea.” 

Gina froze, stunned into silence

After a moment, she finally stammered, Youyou know?” 

You shouldn’t have kept it from me. I’m not that fragile. If I’m sick, I’ll get treated. No need to act like it’s the end of the world.” 

Is that really how you feel?Gina studied Julia’s face, searching for cracks

Call Star for me, will you? Tell her I know about the leukemia, and I’ll cooperate with treatment. But it’s the holidayspeople are supposed to be home. Just let me spend these few days with Bryn, so we can see in the New Year together.” 

Julia’s voice was calm and steady, as if the diagnosis hadn’t shaken her at all

Gina had to admit, she made a good point

Spending the holidays in a hospitalit just didn’t feel right

So, Gina called Stella

After hearing Gina out and discussing it with Cedric, Stella agreed: Julia could go home for a few days. It would help keep her spirits up

Chapter 78 

Out in the Kensington family’s backyard, the interventionagainst Briony was far from over

Mack’s brute strength was terrifyinghe pinned Briony down, slamming her into the ground again and again

Briony fought back with everything she had, but it was no use; her forehead struck the ground several times, hard

At some point, she started bleeding, a fresh trickle of blood running down her temple

The moment Briony saw the blood, panic shot through her. She had no intention of dying here

Just as Mack went to force her down again, she gritted her teeth and shoved him with all her strength

Mack, caught off guard, stumbled backwardthe framed portrait he was holding slipped from his hands and crashed to the ground

Crack

The glass over the photo shattered

Oh, dear Lord!Madeline shrieked, banging her cane against the ground in distress. This is sacrilege! Utterly disgraceful! You ungrateful girl! Mack, pick up your father’s portraitnow!” 

Snapped out of his daze, Mack scrambled to retrieve Malcolm’s broken photo

Madeline was deeply superstitious. A smashed memorial photo was a terrible omen

Hurry, bring it here!Madeline barked

Mack hurried up the steps, handing the photo to Madeline

She stroked her late son’s picture with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face. The priest was right. This girl is a curse on our family! Mack, as long as that wretched girl breathes, the Kensingtons will never know peace!” 

Mack’s brow furrowed. Grandma, are you saying-” 

Madeline’s eyes blazed as she glared at Briony, who was struggling to her feet, blood still dripping down her forehead. Let the Rottweiler out of the back yard.”
