“Alright, we shall discuss it after my dad’s condition improves.’ She giggled.
“Sure. He nodded.
Meanwhile, in a public hospital by the seaside, Wanda, who almost drowned, woke up on the same

pale as a sheet.
“Erica, I won’t let you go. I will let Francis know about your true identity, and I look forward to your
demise,” she grumbled.
“Madam, we have paid for your medical bills, so you can leave the hospital now.” One of the volunteers
walked toward her.
“Thank you. You’re all kind-hearted people.” After being saved from drowning, Wanda was beyond
thankful.
“Avoid going to the beach next time, as

“I didn’t fall into the sea. Someone pushed me down!” Wanda was exasperated.

as she answered the call.
‘Erice, don’t you recognize my voice?”
Wanda scoffed.
“Are… Are you Mrs. Garner?” Erica’s voice
was shaky.
“Hmph! Erica, your true identity will be revealed very soon! I will let Francis know that you are Naomi’s
illegitimate daughter and that you’re not of the Tillman bloodline.”
“Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Garner… I’m very sorry. I’m begging you. Please don’t let them know. I’ll pay you a
million immediately.” Her words were muddled up.
“I don’t want your money anymore. I just want to see your downfall.” After Wanda’s near-death

good person from thereon.
