Novel1"What do you want?" Charlie's wife, Isabelle Winslow, asked.
Lila smiled. "Nothing much, just wanted to show you something."
She handed over a dozen photos. As Isabelle flipped through them her expression grew darker.
"You..."
Lila's eyes carried a hint of amusement, entirely unaffected by Isabelle's reaction. "Don't get worked up. Your
mother-in-law should be home, right? You wouldn't want her finding out about this, would you?"
"What exactly do you want?" Isabelle was furious, but she kept her voice down.
"I'm not interested in your family matters, but there's no way I'm giving you money for blackmail," Lila said.
Lila's gaze turned cold. "I suppose you haven't heard the news yet-Charlie got arrested for soliciting prostitutes."
Isabelle's eyes widened even more. "That bastard! He actually-"
Halfway through her sentence, she looked down at the photos in her hands and swallowed the rest of her words.
Lila pulled out an agreement. "Sign this with your mother-in-law, and | won't say another word about your family
affairs. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
The agreement simply required the Jost family to officially sever ties with Yasmin, ensuring that from this
moment forward, they had no relationship with her whatsoever.
Isabelle took a deep breath, grabbed the agreement, and went inside the house. Lila and the others didn't follow.

"If you don't sign, you can wait for your son to rot in prison!"
"Charlie, that shameless bastard! If he dares to cback, I'll kill him! Either that or I'm divorcing him!"
"You old hag, go live with your son then!"
Lila and Kieran took a few steps further away from the door, trying to hear as little of the chaos as possible.
About ten minutes later, Isabelle cback out, holding the signed document. The inked fingerprints of both her
and her mother-in-law, Vivienne Lancaster, were clearly visible.
Lila glanced at her, took the papers, and was ready to leave.
"Hey, you really won't tell Charlie about me?" Isabelle's tone had completely changed-gone was the aggressive,
domineering attitude from before.
"I'm not interested in your family matters."
Lila didn't even spare her a look and simply walked away from Kieran.
As they left, Lila suddenly asked, "She was bold enough to talk about
divorcing Charlie, so why is she still
worried aboutexposing her s?"
Kieran chuckled. "Saying she wants a divorce might just be a way to manipulate her in-laws."
"True."
Lila nodded and quickly put the matter out of her mind.
After returning to the hospital to pack up their things, they headed to the airport.
Upon landing in Northridge, they unexpectedly spotted Amelia waiting outside.
Lila let go of Kieran's hand and quickly walked over, only to be pulled into a tight hug by Amelia.

exhausted for days. You code

Lila's injuries had almost fully healed, but her memories remained fragmented. Hearing Amelia's words, she was
curious. "Who's there?"

Lila nodded but hesitated for a moment when she heard Matthew's nagain. "I vaguely remember him
getting injured. Is he doing better now?"
Kieran lifted his gaze toward her.
