124: The Unveiling
The atmosphere was thick with anticipation, everyone’s eyes fixed on Emma as she stood, poised and
unshaken, the echo of her slap still lingering in the air.
“Why did you do that?” Alex’s voice broke the silence, a mixture of shock and inquiry.
Emma turned, her gaze steady. “Because it was long overdue. Your sister here has been painting me
as the villain for far too long.”
Lillian, still reeling from the slap, shot back, “You think you can just hit me and walk away? Alex, are
you going to let her do this to me?”
Alex, torn, looked from Lillian to Emma. “Emma, we need to talk. There’s been too much
misunderstanding between us.”
Emma sighed, her patience wearing thin. “What’s there to talk about, Alex? Your family made my life
miserable, and you never once stood up for me.”
The crowd murmured, sensing the depth of the rift between them.
Alex, desperate, reached out to her. “Please, Emma. I know I’ve made mistakes, but can’t we start
over? I’ve changed.”
Emma shook her head, a sad smile on her lips. “You may have changed, but the past remains. I can’t
just forget everything.”
Lillian, seizing the moment, tried to sway Alex. “Brother, she’s just manipulating you. Can’t you see?
She’s not the victim she pretends to be.”
Nathan, who had been watching silently, finally spoke up. “Alex, think about it. Who has been by your
side all these years? Emma left, but your family stayed.”
Emma’s expression hardened. “Yes, I left. Because staying meant enduring endless torment. Tell me, Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Nathan, would you have stayed in my place?”
The question hung in the air, heavy and unanswerable.
Alex, struggling with his emotions, finally spoke. “Emma, I’m sorry for everything. I wish things
could have been different.”
Emma nodded, accepting his apology but not his offer of reconciliation. “Apology accepted, Alex. But
it’s too late for anything else.”
As Emma turned to leave, the crowd parting before her, a voice called out, stopping her in her tracks.
“Wait, Emma. There’s something you need to see.‘
Everyone turned to see who had spoken, their curiosity piqued by the interruption.
Emma paused, looking back. “What is it?”

The figure stepped forward, holding out a document. “This. It’s time the truth came out.”
“What is this?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
As Emma processed the information, the crowd buzzed with whispered speculations and questions.
Alex, watching her, felt a surge of hope. “Emma, what does it say?”
Emma looked up from the document, her eyes meeting Alex’s. “It says that we’ve all been deceived.”
