“Xiao Li, why did you frame Lu Manman?” Mo Kun’s voice sounded in the living room.
Lu Manman stopped in her tracks and turned around.
At this point, Mo Li did not seem to believe what her father had just said. Her eyes were red, and she looked so fragile. “Dad.”
“Xiao Li, why are you doing this?” Mo Kun repeated with a stern expression.
“Dad, I’m sorry.” Mo Li suddenly apologized, and tears started to fall from her eyes. They fell quickly like pearls, and she looked so pitiful that nobody could speak loudly to her. She said, “I know I shouldn’t have said that about Sister-in-law. I was too agitated when I saw Daisy’s corpse this morning and spoke without thinking. Without evidence, I shouldn’t have accused Sister-in-law.”
She sounded so pitiful.
Mo Kun’s expression was tense as he looked at her, wondering if she was still his obedient and kind daughter.
“But Dad, Sister-in-law makes me think of Daisy all of a sudden. I know I’ve become selfish, and I know that I shouldn’t do this to Sister-in-law, who just entered the family. I shouldn’t make things difficult for Brother and the two of you. I will try my best to bear with it, and I won’t think too much about it. I won’t think of Daisy’s death while I’m looking at Sister-in-law. I…” Her voice was getting increasingly choked up, and towards the end, her words were no longer clear.
Everyone looked at her.
She looked the same as before, but every word and every expression on her face seemed mocking.
“Mo Li!” Mo Kun suddenly yelled.
Mo Li had probably never been yelled at like this before, so when Mo Kun shouted at her, she looked at him in a daze. She was as fragile as a sheet of paper as she looked at her father in a daze, her eyes wide open and tears flowing.
“How much longer are you going to pretend! Everyone knows that you killed Daisy yourself, and you still refuse to admit it. Tell me. Why did you have to do this!” Mo Kun gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his stern voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment. “I’ve always thought that although my daughter is physically defective, she’s the kindest person in the world. I never expected you to be so brutal, so brutal to the point of killing the little animal that has been by your side for so many years! Mo Li, I always thought that you wouldn’t even bear to kill an ant, but you actually did something like this today!”
Mo Li was stunned.
She still looked at her father in disbelief.
She turned to look at Lu Manman, who was staring straight at her.
Her heart tightened.
She looked at the servant Xiao Juan, who was trembling in fear, who then mustered her courage to look at her.
In that moment, she understood that everything had been exposed!
All her disguises!
How could it be so fast!
How could Lu Manman find out about Daisy’s death in such a short period of time? Impossible!
She had done it so discreetly and had not even given Lu Manman much time. How could she have done it?!
When she came downstairs just now, she already felt that something was amiss. Just in case, she had gone downstairs to pretend that she was sick and to get Xiao Juan to leave quickly while chasing Lu Manman away. She had not expected that the moment she came down, the truth would be revealed in the living room!
She had never failed like this before!
In all the years she had been pretending since she was a child, she had never been looked at so strangely by everyone like this. In the past, no matter what she did, everyone would only look at her with concern and protection. No matter when or where she was, as long as she appeared and did something slightly different, everyone would take care of her.
