Indeed, over the years, Ruby had always made a point of considering my
perspective and always putting herself in my shoes.
In the past, this thoughtfulness warmed my heart.
But now, all of her supposed kindness felt nothing short of absurd.
I gazed at her indifferently and said, “Ruby, drop the act.”

“I know everything you‘ ve done.”
Ruby widened her eyes and asked in
confusion. “Clara, what on earth are you talking about?”
“What could I have possibly done for you to accuse me like this?”
I kept my eyes locked on her as I replied in a steady yet sharp tone, “If I’m not mistaken, today was supposed to be your

day off, wasn’t it?”
“But you just happened to be on duty at the hospital today. Were you waiting for me to save the child, bring her to the hospital and hand her over to you?”
“And then, was your plan to make sure the child didn’t survive and pin the blame for her death entirely on me?”
My tone was bold and firm, leaving everyone stunned.
Ruby‘ s expression faltered for a brief moment, a trace of panic flashing clearly across her face.
However, within seconds, she regained her composure and spoke with an air of innocence.
“Clara, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I ever try to slander you?”
“I’ve always wished the best for you more than anyone else!”

“Besides, how could I possibly know in advance that you would go to the hospital today? Why would I wait for you there?”
“If you‘ re trying to escape your guilt, you shouldn’t make up such ridiculous lies to frame me!”
As soon as Ruby finished speaking andrew jumped in.
“Clara, why can’t you take responsibility for your actions even now?”
“Lila fell into the swimming pool right in front of you and you just stood there watching as she drowned!”
“Not only did you refuse to save her, but now you‘ re here, shamelessly shifting the blame to others?”
“You should be thankful! Doctor Ruby has been speaking up for you all this time, trying to protect you from being attacked by everyone.”
“I never expected you to turn on her and

accuse her instead.”
“When did you become so unreasonable and heartless?”
Their words worked seamlessly together,
stirring up even more hostility among the crowd.
People around could not help but yell at
- me.
The live broadcast‘ s comment section was filled with relentless insults, calling me a despicable person who did not deserve to
exist.
Despite the torrent of malice, I remained calm as I looked directly at Andrew and said, “I’m talking to Ruby. Why are you so anxious?”
“And if I didn’t try to save her, if I left intentionally, wasn’t it just to give you the time and opportunity to act as the hero and save her yourself?”
My words struck a nerve and both Andrew

and Ruby visibly stiffened.
The two looked at each other in shock and
panic as their plot was exposed.
However, no one at the scene seemed to notice the subtle changes in their
expressions. All eyes remained fixed on me
and the relentless stream of vicious attacks continued to pour in.
“This woman is completely twisted!”
“Exactly. She killed her own daughter, shows no regret and now she’s spouting nonsense, slandering others left and right, saying the most absurd things.”
“That’s right. At first, she claimed someone else was responsible, but now she’s saying someone else was supposed to save her? She’s out of her mind.”
“Just looking at her face makes me want to puke. I don’t get how she has the audacity to act like this!”
The livestream comments were equally

merciless, filled with insults and mockery.
[She’s clearly got some kind of mental illness, completely delusional!]
[Officers, please do us all a favor and arrest this crazy woman already!]
At that moment andrew quickly regained his
composure and faked a sad face. He pointed dramatically at our daughter‘ s lifeless body on the ground as he yelled at
- me.
“Clara, can you finally face reality? Our daughter is dead. You killed her!”
“How dare you talk about giving us time or opportunity to save her?”
