Chapter 569 Dragged Away

Wretched woman!

In that instant, Susan hated Nancy to the core.

She found Nancy utterly fake, utterly disgusting.

They had known each other for so many years, been so close, and Susan had always truly regarded her as a friend. She couldn’t believe that after begging her for just one small favor, Nancy would deliberately act high and mighty, lecture her, and embarrass her like this!

She always said Renee called her godmother, that she was her daughter too but Susan knew Nancy had never truly treated Renee as a daughter.

Nancy only looked down on them because she had married well.

Susan longed to tear Nancy’s smug face apart.

But now the Luke family had hard evidence of Renee drugging Lily. If this reached the court, it would be her Renee who paid the price.

If Renee really went to prison, marrying James would be impossible – no wealthy family would ever ept a daughter–inw with a criminal record.

She could never let her precious daughter go to jail.

Susan had always been able to bend and endure when she needed to. To protect Renee, she forced herself to shed tears and speak with heartbreaking sincerity as she pleaded with Nancy: “Nancy, for the sake of Renee calling you godmother, please, help her.”

She turned to nc, voice choked. “nc, Renee calls you dad too I’m begging you, help her…”

she’s your child as well.

“Susan, don’t talk nonsense!” nc almost copsed from fright at those words. “Yes, Renee once called me godfather, but she’s not my child, and I’ve never treated her as my child!”

It was true: years ago, in a moment of carelessness, Susan had thrown her arms around him. He had pushed her away immediately. He couldn’t let her twist the story now and make Nancy misunderstand!

“I didn’t mean she was your real daughter,” Susan rushed to exin. “I meant, since she calls you and Nancy godfather and godmother, you can’t be this heartless… Please, I’m begging you…”

Renee too copsed in tears at Nancy’s feet.

“I truly regret it, I swear! Please, give me onest chance…”

Nancy knew the saying: to repent is the greatest virtue.

But she also knew another truth: a person’s nature never changes.

And Lily was pregnant now. Even the smallest mistake could mean death for her and the twins.

Once, Nancy had truly loved Renee as if she were her own daughter.

But Lily was also her daughter now.

If she gave Renee another chance, who knew if that meant giving her another chance to harm Lily?

She would never keep such a dangerous time bomb around.

Her tone was calm, almost cold, as she told Renee: “People only talk about regret when punishment is near. Renee, I can’t tell if you truly understand your mistake, or if you only want to escape thew. I can’t take that risk.”

Susan broke down, falling to her knees again. “Nancy, nc, I’ll give you my life if that’s what

and

Renee…” it takes. Please, show mercy spare

Nancy’s gaze returned to Susan.

“Susan, when someonemits a crime, they must bear the responsibility themselves. You offering us your life means nothing. A murderer’s hands stay bloody no matter how many family members cry or offer their lives in exchange. The guilty still face thew. Stop hurting yourself. Stop making this harder for everyone.”

When the doctors arrived, she turned to them at once. “Please treat Susan’s wounds.”

Then she told Susan firmly, “Take care of your injuries and stop letting your thoughts run wild. None of us can influence the judge’s verdict.”

At her word, the doctors moved to lift Susan and take her to another ward. Nancy didn’t want her staying here and disturbing Ivan while he recovered.

“Susan! nc! James…‘

Tears rolled down Susan’s face in heavy streams.

She still couldn’t ept that Nancy could be so cold and unfeeling toward her.

She didn’t want to leave the room, either. Her daughter was her life, herst hope. She wanted to fight with every breath left in her body to save her daughter.

But her head injury had been severe. Her vision was darkening, her body weak. Soon she was strapped onto a stretcher and wheeled to another floor, unable to resist.

“Mom…”

Once Susan was gone, Reneepletely lost herposure.

James truly cared about Susan.

Before hisa, he had always called her on holidays, sending gifts and transferring her

money.

Nancy had also made sure to send Susan jewelry, handbags, fine clothes.

Renee had always believed the Luke family genuinely treated Susan as family, that Susan held real standing with them.

She couldn’t ept how much had changed since Lily clung to James.

The Luke family no longer gave Susan any face. Now they even wanted to send her to prison.

Renee was consumed with hatred.

She was overwhelmed with bitterness.

But the Luke family treasured that lowly, shameless Lily as if she were gold. They refused to give Susan or her any lifeline.

And soon, the police arrived

– and dragged her away.
