"Nelly, you really should have a heart-to-heart with your godmother. Otherwise, she won't know how to help
you," urged a voice gently.
Nelly glanced towards Dailey, then desperately shook her head at Jayne.
It was clear to everyone present that there were secrets Nelly was keeping, but her fear of Dailey kept her silent.
"Don't worry about him. Just be honest with your godmother. Let your godmother, grandparents, and godfather
all hear it. Let's see who is at fault here."
After biting her lip for a moment, Nelly finally spoke up.
Dailey didn't interrupt; he too wanted to hear her side of what happened that night.

"Godmother, it was my fault..." she started hesitantly.
"One night, Dai got upset because Ms. Jackson brought her boyfriend over, so he drank a bit too much and
ended up getting drunk," she explained, causing everyone's expressions to darken.
Everyone knew about Dailey's entanglement with Christine, and they had thoroughly investigated Christine,
keeping an eye on her recent activities.
They were aware of her close relationship with a younger guy, but they didn't expect that Dailey would end up in
a relationship with her, insisting on not marrying anyone but her.
"Dai... Dai..." Nelly continued timidly, scanning everyone's faces. "Dai might have been too drunk and mistook
She hesitated, "I resisted and kept telling him | wasn't Ms. Jackson, but he was beyond reason, and | wasn't
strong enough to push him away..."
Hearing this, Dailey's scrutinizing gaze landed sharply on her. With a cold tone, he mocked, "Nelly, the Clarkson
family didn't raise you to be a liar, but you've learned quite the act."
Nelly shrank back, clearly intimidated by Dailey, and said awkwardly, "Dai, | told you, you should've just sent me
abroad... It was you who decided to sendback to Vista Town first, and then when godmother cto see me
packing, | had to tell the truth." Dailey's voice was ice-cold, "So, sending you back to pack your things and then
taking your grandfather with you was a mistake?"
Nelly's voice broke with a sob, "Dai, | wouldn't have mentioned that night if it hadn't cto this. | even took the
morning-after pill and said | wouldn't use that night to threaten you. But you accusedof trying to harm Ms.
Jackson, and I just can't take it anymore..."
Dailey frowned deeply, as if he was seeing her for the first time.
Yet, he didn't say anything more and stepped forward to pull his mother away.
Primo, understanding the situation, took Nelly away.
"Wait."

"If you really were intimate, Dailey, you need to take responsibility."
Dailey's response was almost a laugh, "Grandpa, if you hadn't broken us up in the first place, you might have
been a great-grandfather by now."
Of course, he said this to provoke his grandfather.
He had made it clear there was no love between him and Nelly.
But his grandfather didn't believe him.
Insisting on sending Nelly away, exposing her to potential harm abroad, had filled him with guilt.
Upon Nelly's return, to make amends, he had indulged her minor requests, which directly led to the events of
that night. Talking about responsibility now seemed almost laughable.
