hy would she threaten to drag us both down? I wasn't afraid because I was a woman with a potentially tal illness, after all. But what was her motive?

ronard had clearly been fond of her before. If their relationship had stayed strong, she could've easily

come Mrs. Harmon without much effort.

I she had to do was wait, and I would've been out of the picture eventually. Yet, she chose the most self-

structive, obnoxious path, one that guaranteed no way out.

s soon as she walked out of the police station, she abruptly turned and dropped to her knees in front of e. The suddenness of it startled me, and I instinctively stepped back several paces. va, I know you hate me, but you didn't have to kill my baby!

Mr. Harmon and I were truly in love. Why did yo have to take our child away?

ou cling to him, fine, but why go after my baby? You can't have children yourself, so you won't let me

Chaux: 111 The Table Tuin

Even stories from my college days were being dragged up, claiming I had run off with some rich kid right

I after graduation.

It seemed like everyone had decided this rich kid was real, even though no one could name him or say where we went or what I did with him.

Lily was on camera, crying to the reporters, claiming I had been the other woman, the one who ruined her relationship, and the one who was never loved. Somehow, she had brainwashed enough gullible people into thinking that her affair was true love, and they were all rallying behind her. They were even calling for me to be jailed for "ruining" her life.

Just as I was about to turn off my phone and try to get some rest, the situation completely flipped.

Someone posted online that Lily had kidnapped her ex-boyfriend's daughter to frame me, forcing him to falsely accuse me of murder.

Then, reports surfaced that her ex-boyfriend had committed suicide. On top of that, people started uncovering Lily's shady past, including her time as a hostess at a karaoke bar during her school years. To make matters worse for her, someone exposed that Memphis had been stealing Harmon Group's designs and selling them to rival companies for personal gain, all orchestrated by Lily behind the scenes.

Then, the official Harmon Group account released footage of Lily's entire outburst at the building, showing that I had been nowhere near her the whole time. There was no way I could've been responsible for her miscarriage.

But what stunned me the most was Leonard's next move. He used the official company account to post the DNA results, proving that the child Lily lost wasn't even his.

Alongside the images, Leonard posted a single sentence:

"Eva is my only wife. No one will ever succeed in framing her."

I read that sentence over and over, my eyes stinging with unexpected emotion.

Funny how he hadn't thought of me as his wife all this while, until now...
