Bodger had once promised he’d always protect Mathilda, make up for the years she'd lost, never let her suffer
again. But today, he'd slapped her-for Lily.
Even Bodger himself was stunned by what he'd done.
He hadn't meant to raise his hand against the little sister he felt so guilty toward. But even now, even in his
shock, he felt no regret.
The video was proof enough. It had been Randy who gave the order.
And Bodger knew better than anyone just how loyal Randy was to Mathilda. There was no way she wasn’t
involved.
“Mathilda,” he said, voice tight and trembling, “you told us you saw Lily as your real sister. You swore you would
never hurt her. So why... why would you have those monsters sell her into the mountains?”
“I didn’t...”
The sharp accusation snapped Mathilda out of her daze.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her voice, raw and broken, barely cout.
She stared at Bodger like her heart had shattered. “You hit me...”
“That slap really hurt...”
She turned, seeking sympathy-turned to Taylor, to Mergan, the brothers who had always cherished her.
Surely they'd defend her now, stop Bodger, scold him for going too far.
But they didn’t.
She found no pity in their eyes-only seething disappointment.
Instead, their voices struck like whips.
“Why did you lie, Mathilda?”

“Why did you do this to Lily?”
“How did you becso cruel?”
Hearing Mergan call her cruel broke something in her.
It felt like the world tilted under her feet-she stumbled and collapsed to the floor in a heap.
She turned to Randy, her last lifeline, hoping-praying-he’d protect her. That he’d take the fall like he always had.

Randy didn’t want to be locked up. Didn't want to be separated from the woman he adored more than life itself.
But he also knew that the video Dave had shown James was airtight. There was no way out. Even if he dragged
Mathilda down with him, he’d still go to prison.
And still, he couldn't bear to see his “Miss” suffer.
So he chose.
He dropped to his knees before Bodger.
“This was all my doing,” Randy said hoarsely. “Don’t blMiss. She knew nothing.”
“You?” Bodger’s voice was hard and bitter.
He'd covered for Mathilda too many times-believed her, protected her, forgiven her.
But this time? She had tried to destroy Lily. She had nearly killed her.
He couldn’t accept that the sweet, innocent sister he loved had becthis twisted.
And he couldn't believe for a second that this was all Randy's idea.
Where would Randy get four million in cash?
Taylor and Mergan weren't buying it either.
“That's impossible,” Taylor snapped. “This wasn’t just you.”
“Yeah. Where'd you even get the four million?” Mergan added.
Randy hesitated-but then bit the bullet. “Miss gave it to me.”
“I lied to her. | told her | needed money to buy a house. She's too kind-she just gave it to me.”
“I never used it for a house. I... | hate Lily. | hate that she stole Miss’s life, her name, her family— everything.”
“Miss was too soft to get revenge, so
| did it for her. | took her mangy and
went being hechick Hired those
traffickers to sell Lily—make her

“Miss has suffered so much. While Lily lived in luxury, Miss was beaten, tortured in the mountains. It’s not fair.”
“You're sick in the head.”
Ashton stepped forward, lips curled in disgust, and kicked Randy square in the face.
“If the Ginger family hadn't adopted Ms. Lily, Mathilda still would've been kidnapped. You talk like it's 2/3
