“Yes, they treated me well, especially your father…”
The mention of Suzy’s father brought a noticeable shift in Charlotte’s demeanor. Her expression softened, almost glowing, as if recalling the warmth of sunlight after a long winter. “I was six when I was brought into the Frost family. He was sixteen at the time, already tall–over six feet.

“I still remember the first time I saw him. When his parents brought me home, he wasn’t there. He didn’t come back until dinner. I was so nervous when he walked in, worried he wouldn’t like me. After all, who would be happy about a new addition to the family, especially an adopted one?
“I didn’t even dare to look up at him. But to my surprise, he wasn’t upset at all–he welcomed me with open arms. It turned out he’d been late because he went shopping… for me.”
Charlotte’s lips curved into a smile Suzy had never seen before, tinged with sweetness and nostalgia. “He bought me a little teddy bear and a cake–just for me. It was the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted, not because of the flavor, but because it was mine alone. For the first time, I didn’t have to share.
“He truly treated me like his little sister, and I adored him. We weren’t bound by blood, but our bond felt stronger than any biological connection. I thought he would always care for me most until she appeared.”
Her gaze darkened, venom replacing the fleeting warmth. “You know who I’m talking about, don’t you? Yes, your mother, that cunning seductress! I don’t know what spell she cast on him, but from the moment he saw her, he was utterly bewitched. He fell in love at first sight, and after that, I ceased to exist in his world.”
“That’s why you hated them?” Suzy asked, her voice laced with disbelief. From the beginning, she could sense Charlotte’s obsessive attachment to her father.
Charlotte shot Suzy a withering glance. “Of course not! What truly made me despise them was their endless need to have more children!”
Suzy and Ruby were speechless.
Their silence spoke volumes. Both women were utterly dumbfounded, and even Riley and Allen, standing to the side, were equally baffled.
“Why would someone else having children even matter to you?” Riley muttered under his breath, unable to contain his disbelief. “It’s not like they asked her to babysit them.”
Allen shook his head. “If that’s her logic, then all those people she killed–those innocent servants died for absolutely no reason. How ridiculous.”

Charlotte clearly noticed the incredulity on their faces and scoffed, her voice sharp with frustration. “Of course, their children had nothing to do with me. It wasn’t like I had to help raise them. But…”
She paused, her expression twisting with bitterness. “I couldn’t stand that woman having his children!
“The more children they had, the stronger their bond became. Even if they divorced, those kids would always tie them together. She had no right to give him children. That privilege should have been mine!”
Suzy’s breath caught in her throat.
It finally clicked.
Everything Mark had said, and even Ruby’s earlier claims, were true.
At first, Suzy had dismissed it as some elaborate scheme, a diversion to confuse her. After all, it was hard to believe that her aunt, the one who had raised her with apparent care, could harbor such unnatural feelings toward her father.
But the truth was undeniable now.
Her aunt’s monstrous actions stemmed from one twisted root: an unfulfilled, forbidden love for her father. She hadn’t just been consumed by jealousy; she’d been driven to madness by it.
