“What did you say?!”
Orlando was extremely shocked, instinctively grabbing Amanda’s arm.
“Mom isn’t dead?! How is that possible?! What is all this about?!”
Amanda spilled everything out like beans from a jar.
As it turned out, the car accident that Mrs. Evelyn had suffered wasn’t an accident at all, but something planned by someone targeting Orlando.
Not only Mrs. Evelyn, but I was also nearly hit by a car. Fortunately, I was riding in a car driven by our family chauffeur, whose excellent driving skills saved me in that critical moment.
Since Mrs. Evelyn’s situation was more important, I didn’t tell anyone about this incident.
After Mrs. Evelyn was hospitalized, Orlando’s enemy nearly removed her IV drip.
After discussion, Mr. Harold and Amanda decided to announce that Mrs. Evelyn had passed away to investigate who the enemy behind all this was.

They also asked me to keep this sec about it.
not let Orla
know
Since we decided to put on an act, we had to make it completely convincing.
So for these three years, I bore all the blame, allowing Orlando to mistreat me constantly and humiliate me with other women.
Until this fire broke out, I finally gave up all hope completely.
The fact that he could go to such lengths for another woman clearly showed that he no longer loved me.
Therefore, I decided to let go.
After hearing Amanda’s words, Orlando was half–believing, half–doubting.
Until Amanda made a video call and held the phone up to Orlando’s face.
“Brother, look, Mom is still alive and well!”
Mrs. Evelyn was lying in a hospital bed, not fully conscious yet, but still alive.
Orlando was completely stunned.
Amanda anxiously stamped her foot and said, “Brother, we’ve actually seen everything you’ve done to my sister–in–law these past three years. I wanted to tell you the truth long ago! But she

Dad has found the to her right away!”
Orlando couldn’t come to his senses for a long time. With a choked voice, he said, “You all… please leave first…”
Soon there were only the two of us left in the hospital room,
Holding my discharge belongings, I stood in front of the bed, took a deep breath, and said, “We’re already divorced. I have nothing to say to you.”
Orlando stepped forward, his hand trembling as he tried to touch my belly.
“So… so our child is really gone?”
I stepped back to avoid his touch and said flatly, “Yes, gone. During that fire, my stomach was hit by a pillar, and you kicked me several times. Even if the child had the strongest will to live, it couldn’t have survived.”
Orlando instantly shed tears, then with a “thud,” he knelt down in front of me.
“Lilith… I’m sorry… I didn’t know, I thought…”
I smiled self–mockingly and said. “You thought it was someone else’s right? That night you came home drunk and mistook me for Isabella. After tormenting me, Isabella took you away directly, I never deceived you, you just didn’t want to believe it.”
