Chapter 275 Say Goodbye, Oscar
“What? He hits her?” someone asked.
Fililshed
Elsie nodded solemnly. “He’s violent. And my sister she has a past. Men like that don’t forgive easily. Her life must be hard.”
“True. What kind of man wants a woman with… a history?”
Just then, Elsie felt a sharp gaze at her back. She turned and met the stormy eyes of Carl
He heard everythin
Her whole body went cold. She scrambled after him. “Mr. Carl, wait! It’s not what you think…”
But Carl turned away without a word. Standing beside him, Victor stepped in to block her path.
“Ms. Elsie, he said coldly, “have some self–respect.”
His tone was firm, heavy with disapproval.
Elsie’s eyes filled with tears of grievance. Victor was Carl’s godson. Now that both his godson and goddaughter disliked her, how could she ever dream of joining their family?
It was all Yunice’s fault!
At that moment, Yunice was leaning against the wall outside the restroom, calm and composed.
Carl’s appearance had been part of her plan.
She knew Victor would tell him what happened. And if Carl really cared about her, he would. show up.
Those people in the private room were all trash. Of course they would talk once she left. And once they did, he would see Elsie’s true colors.
Elsie dreaming of becoming a daughter of the Crawford family? Absurd.
Footsteps echoed from the restroom. Lily emerged, rubbing hand cream into her fingers, only to stop short when she saw Yunice.
Yunice smiled. “You were in there for quite a while. Should I get you something for your
stomach?”
Lily forced a laugh. “What nonsense.”
“Oh, right,” Yunice said, eyes cool. “You don’t have stomach issues. You were hiding. You’re the elder here. Those people wouldn’t dare cross the line in your presence. But you conveniently disappeared, and they were free to act however they wanted.”

everyone in the world is bad; only you are good.”
Finished
Yunice chuckled and stuffed her hands into her pockets. “You should head back. Your precious daughter’s probably crying her eyes out.”
Lily’s eyes widened. With a terrible feeling rising in her chest, she rushed back to the private
Toom.
Sure enough, Elsie was hunched over the table, sobbing uncontrollably. Lily tried asking what happened but got no answer.
She turned to Owen, only to have him cling to her drunkenly, refusing to let go.
She was exhausted.
Meanwhile, Yunice remained in the hallway, staring at the still–unconscious Oscar. She did not meet up with Carl.
A waiter brought over the lemon water she requested. Yunice gently poured some into Oscar’s mouth.
Oscar frowned, then stirred after a few minutes. Still woozy, he blinked at her face and froze.
“Yunny!” he gasped in surprise.
But her cold expression made his heart sink. She was no longer the soft little sister he once knew.
Looking at her distant eyes, Oscar felt a deep ache in his chest. He leaned his head against the wall and muttered, “I’ve only been gone a few years… How did everything change so much? You’ve all become people I don’t recognize…”
His voice cracked, “Owen’s lost, but I’ve always been on your side. Why won’t you even acknowledge me?”
Yunice looked up. “The medical malpractice records from the Saunders Hospital. I sent them to you.”
Oscar froze.
“You didn’t expose them,” she said softly. “That told me everything I needed to know.”
Oscar muttered, “Yunny, we’re family..
“You have a family to protect, Yunice said. “And I’ve made it my mission to tear that family down. Your goal is harmony and peace. Mine is destruction. Even if you understand me now, one day, you’ll stand against me. Better we part ways now.”
Oscar whispered, “All because of those three years in the asylum?”
Yunice’s voice was firm. “Not just those three years.”

his siblings. But now, the people he loved were at war, and he was being forced to choose.
Yunice stood. “I’m leaving.”
Oscar quickly asked, “Yunny, how far do you plan to go? What are you going to do?”
Finished
He had not expected an answer. He knew her target was not just Owen or Elsie. If that were the case, she could have crushed them already, with evidence and with Wyatt.
