“Mom, we must find a solution swiftly. | can’t stand the thought of being thrown into a mental hospital! What if
he truly commits us there just for Loraine’s sake?”
Marina voiced her fears through her tears. Laura, although scared, put on a brave face. “Don’t be absurd. No
matter how intimidating Marco might be, he can’t just toss you into a mental hospital!”
Laura pacified Marina with soft words once she regained scomposure.
“Don’t worry. We just need to say sorry. | knew it would cto this.
He's still family. Even if Loraine wishes to punish us, she wouldn't go too far, out of respect for Marco.”
With tear-streaked cheeks, Marina nodded, her eyes puffy. She spoke with lingering fear.

“So... what's the right way to apologize?”
To which Laura answered straightforwardly, “Just post an apology online. That worked perfectly fine when we
falsely accused Loraine of enticing Davy Jones, didn’t it?”
Marina nodded timidly, recalling Marco's reaction during that event.

Even though Marco had warned that it would be the Last the would clean up their mess and that he wouldn't
let them off the hook for any future misdeeds, she clung onto a glimmer of hope.
Although Marco's aloofness often bothered them, they understood that their lifestyle was supported by him.
Their privileged lifestyle was all thanks to Marco's financial assistance.
Despite his harsh methods, he was reliable when it cto family and friends. How could Keely be compared to
her? After all, she was Marco's half-sister, not sharing the smother, but he couldn't possibly be so callous
towards her.
These thoughts brought her ssolace.
However, when she retired to her room and tried to sleep, she found it evasive.
Liza's words still lingered, not entirely trustworthy. What if the mental illness story was just a scare tactic?
Determined not to be influenced, Marina sat up, grabbed her phone, and began an intesearch.
However, no matter what she typed in, no relevant results showed up.

It seemed as if everything had been carefully concealed, assuming Liza was truthful.
With a determined spirit, she opened her contacts, calling and texting various people in the hope that someone
would confirm it was a Lie. But after going through her list, she received no response. Her past
“friends” either abruptly hung up or ignored her calls.
Feeling desperate, Marina suddenly had a thought. With a steadfast mind, she reluctantly opened a group chat
that she hadn't used for ages.
It was her old close friends group, who had ignored her since her downfall. The group chat had beca place
for mockery, and Marina had blocked it out of annoyance.
When she opened it now, Marina found that the chat had been silent for stime. She paused before gathering
the courage to send a message, seeking sclarity.
