“Alright,” Harold and Thomas agreed without hesitation
“But what it we apologize, and she still doesn’t accept it?” Michelle asked hesitantly.
“Then, you apologize again! If you were locked in a car and almost burned alive, would a simple “sorry” from the person responsible make you forgive them? Stephen snapped, his tone cold.
Michelle lowered her head, unable to respond.
These past few days, her emotions had been all over the place.
On one hand, she did feel a thicker of guilt. But on the other hand, she kept telling herself it wasn’t intentional
And Dem had been alive this whole time but hadn’t reached out, forcing Michelle to endure endless worry and torment.
The thought left her bitter and resentful, stirring a frustrating mix of guilt and anger.
The next day,Demi woke up early.
After a quick mound of boxing exercises, she grabbed a watering can and stepped outside to tend to her plants.
just as she was watering them, there was a sharp knock at the door
“Who is it?” Demi called out, setting down the watering can as she walked toward the front door.
When the opened it, all five membered the Pitt family stood there
Without a word, Demi slammed the door in their faces. Then, she turned the lock, the click sounding sharp and decisive.
Outside the door, Stephen had just lifted his foot to step forward when the door slammed shut, narrowly missing his nose.
The froze, momentarily stu
As the head of a wealthy family, Stephen wasn’t used to being treated this way.
He took a deep breath and reminded himself that they were in the wrong
“nemi, open the door so we can talk, I know what happened was their fault, and I’ve already scolded them on your behalf, stephen said, keeping his tone steady as
Inside, Demi had been ready to walk away, but something made her seconsider
Letting the Pitt family stand outside her door, tallding loudly for all the neighbors to hear, didn’t seem like a good idea, ti word got back to Margaret, it would only make things worse.
After a moment’s hesitation, she turned around and opened the door.
Stephen and the others exhaled in unison, visibly relieved.
without a word, Demi stepped aside and walked back toward the yard.
The five of them entered cautiously. Daniel, who was at the back of the group, thoughtfully closed the door behind him and even locked it.
Demi let out a cold laugh in her mind.
How careful of them. Was it because they didn’t want anyone finding out they’d left her to bum in that car while they had run off?
Or were they afraid the truth might come out? That she’s the Pitt family’s real daughter, while Ana’s the fake? And if people found out, would and completely lose
Demi ignored them completely, picked up her watering can, and retumed to her flowers
Stephen gave Michelle a pointed look
Michelle took a deep breath, forcing a stiff smile as she turned to Derni, who continued watering her flowers.
“Demi, this time it was my fault. It was a reflex, you know? Things were chaotic, and 1 forget you were still in the car.”
“Really?” Derni finally looked up, her faint smile razor–sharp as she met Michelle’s gare. “I it were Ana in the car, would you have forgotten?”
Michelle froze, her words dying in her throat.
“Honestly, I’m curious. Did you forget me in the car because you just don’t care about me? Or was it because you wanted me dead, so Ana could have everything to herself? Demi said, hertone calm,
“No!” Michelle’s face went pale. She waved her hands frantically, her voice trembling. “How could we ever want you dead? For you to think that… it hurts us!” “Oh, does it now?” Demi let out a dry laugh, laced with mockery. “So, tell me, what is it you want from me?”
“Duh, Eml, we came here to ask you to come home with us,” Stephen quickly stepped in
“And why would I go home with you?” Demi tilted her head slightly, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tumed her attention from Stephen to the flowers she was arranging.
“To work as your housekeeper? Well, you’d better hire someone else. I’m done serving your family.”
Stephe opened his mouth to respond but faltered, his words catching in his throat.
“Emi, we were wrong before, you won’t have to do the housekeeper’s work anymore. Don’t you want to be a star? We can pull some strings, support your career,

Demi looked up at him, her lips curling into a cold, modding smile. She then tumed her gaze to Stephen and Michelle.
“What’s wrong” Aren’t you afraid your take daughter will throw a tantrum? I’m not going back. What if your precious Ana starts crying and throwing fits again? “What if you decide that I should pay the price just to keep her happy? You claim you left me in the car by accident, but who’s to say it wasn’t on purpose to keep your take daughter happy..”
