Chapter 1316:

Elyse wasn’t buying it. The room was practically buzzing with tension, and Felicia’s attempt to downplay it only

made her more suspicious.

Her gaze shifted to Thea, who still knelt awkwardly on the floor. With a raised brow, Elyse asked dryly, “So, what

is it this time? Are you out here spreading rumors that I've been ruining your life again?”

Felicia’s brows knitted in confusion at Elyse’s remark. “What's this about? Did she do something to hurt you?”

The question hung heavy in the air, and Thea, clearly hoping to shrink into invisibility, dropped her head even

lower, her silence an obvious admission of guilt.

Pearce, who had been watching with a detached air, finally stepped in. His arms were crossed, and his voice was

calm but cutting. “Let’s not get sidetracked. Thea hired someone to tamper with your agent's car. Her intention

was to harm both you and your agent.”

Elyse’s eyes blazed with shock and fury.

“What? Are you saying she actually tried to kill me? What kind of grudge could possibly justify that?” Elyse

asked, her voice a mix of shock and confusion.

Thea stayed silent, biting her lip so hard it seemed like she might draw blood.

Pearce didn’t miss a beat. “This isn’t her first offense, either. Harassing you, sabotaging your work, dragging

your nthrough the mud—those were just distractions. Her real plan was to get rid of you permanently.”

Elyse turned to Thea, completely baffled. Her voice softened, filled with disbelief. “But why? What have | ever

done to you to deserve this?”

Finally, Thea snapped. Lifting her head, her voice rose, shrill and accusatory. “You think we're fine, don’t you? No

bad blood, no hard feelings. But to me, you're nothing but a sneaky, conniving thief!”

Elyse blinked, stunned into silence. “A thief? What are you even talking about?”

Thea’s emotions boiled over. “In this family, I've always been the one at Grandma's side. I'm the one who takes

care of her, keeps her company, and makes her smile when she’s bored. As her loyal and considerate

granddaughter, I've provided her with all the love and attention she could want.”

Her voice cracked, but her resentment burned hot. “And what do | get for all those years of loyalty? Nothing! She

doesn’t care about my sacrifices. She leaves everything to you. Have you ever taken care of her for even a

until I'm 40!”

Elyse’s brows furrowed as she crossed her arms, her tone calm but firm.

“I only recently learned about the company shares she gave me, and | haven't even discussed her will with her. If

you're unhappy, maybe you should bring it up with her directly.”

Thea let out a bitter laugh, sharp and scornful. “Talk to her about what? She’s made it clear that, in her eyes,

you're the only real granddaughter. All those years | spent by her side, giving her everything | had, were for

nothing—absolutely nothing!”

Elyse stood silently, watching Thea’s outburst with a mixture of confusion and pity. The raw emotions on display

left her at a loss for words.
