"I have indeed no idea who you truly are! We've slept on the same bed for so many years yet you've been deceiving me all this while! Delilah Fang, you are so disgusting!"
Carter kicked her to the ground.
Delilah held her stomach in pain while she still pretended to be pitiful.
"Carter, please believe me as I've been wronged! I have never done such acts and it must be Sophia and her son that framed me by fabricating the recording! They're scheming against me and I'm telling the truth! Carter, I've been with you for so many years and I don't even have a legal title... Aren't you aware of how well I've treated you?"
Rage pulsed through Carter's veins as he saw how Delilah was still refusing to admit her mistake even at this point.
"You're saying that they fabricated it and they're scheming against you? Delilah, you are the one who wants to hurt them! This is Sophia's blood test report and she's tested positive for a longstanding toxin! Don't even try to deny your relationship with the nurse!" "What? I have no idea! Carter, they've framed against me and yet you don't believe me... There's no point for me to stay alive anymore and I might as well die!"
Having said that, Delilah stood up and she wanted to hit herself on the wall as she thought that someone would stop her. However, both Carter and Thomas just looked at her without having the intention to stop her even after she waited for a moment.
Delilah was so embarrassed at that point.
"Thom, I'm your mother! Do you really have the heart to watch me die?"
Thomas turned his head away as he didn't want to look at Delilah but his hands were clasped together tightly.
On the other hand, Sophia frowned as she was surprised that there was a toxin in her body but she didn't seem panicked or scared.
Mango witnessed this scene when she entered the house.
"Delilah, my men have rescued the nurse and she is currently under my protection. Do you want to confront her?"
Delilah was stunned upon hearing Mango's words as anger flashed across her eyes.
"Mango Shen, don't be a busybody and interfere with other people's affairs just because your husband is Nathaniel. I suggest you get out of the house right now before you get yourself into more trouble!"
Mango regarded Delilah's words as an utter joke.
"I honestly have no interest in other people's affairs."
Sophia looked at Delilah and said coldly, "Mango shouldn't be regarded as an outsider as she is my niece and the only outsiders here are you and your son!"
Delilah was so angry that her eyes became red-rimmed with tears as the scheme that she had been planning all these years was about to succeed yet it came to a failure at this moment.
"Thom, are you just going to watch your mother getting bullied by these people like this?"
Thomas looked at Delilah as she was the person who gave birth to him and later abandoned him. He thought that his parents had their difficulties and they had no choice but to send him to the orphanage in the past. However, he realized at this moment that his dad had sent him away all for the sake of the Song family's property and he was just a pawn for his parents to achieve their goals.
Thomas had turned a blind eye to the sadness he experienced in the past but he could no longer suppress his emotions at this point.
There was no way he could recover from the harm and trauma that his biological family gave him.
"You'd better come with me to turn yourself in."
At that instant, Delilah became furious after hearing Thomas's words.
"You unfilial son! Why should I turn myself in? Will you be happy to see your mother in jail? You are my son and the child of the Song family yet you went to the Ye Family's house to be their servant for so many years. Have you really turned into a slave after being enslaved by the Ye Family all this while?"
Delilah's words were savage and hurtful.
Mango's brows furrowed at that instant.
"Delilah, mind your language as you can insult others but not Thomas! He is not a servant in the Ye family as he has his own freedom and he has the same status as Nathaniel and I too. Thomas' contract with the Ye Family had ended a few years ago but he refused to leave. Have you ever thought of the reason why he didn't want to return to this place and live with you but preferred to stay in the Ye Family with Nathaniel instead? Have you ever done anything for him as his mother throughout these years other than giving birth to him?" "The relationship between Thomas and I is none of your business!"
Delilah roared at Mango directly.
She became hysterical as no one here was siding with her, including the influential figures.
Thomas frowned subconsciously and he protected Mango behind him without anyone noticing.
"Mom, do you really think that others can do nothing with you if you don't admit your mistakes at this point? It isn't a big deal that you're covetous but you even committed a murder... Novalee is dead and don't try to act as if you have no clue how she died."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Delilah turned her head away immediately as she didn't want to look at Thomas.
Thomas sighed and said in a low voice, "Mom, Mitchell has been arrested by the police... Do you think a man like him will protect you?"
Delilah was stunned.
"What?"
"I'm serious. Mitchell has been arrested as the evidence is conclusive and it's very likely that he will spill everything that he knows and put all the blame on you to reduce his sentence. Mom, you could perhaps lessen your criminal sentence if
