Eli knew that Joanna was completely flustered. She had audaciously tried to curry favor with him in front of Winston. She had truly lost her mind!

Eli forcefully shoved Joanna aside, while Winston watched on helplessly.

“Eli!” he called out, his voice tinged with reproach as he chided Eli for being too rough.

In an instant, Joanna burst into tears and cried, “Win-”

But before she could say more, Eli interrupted sharply, “Mr. Greer, Ms. Lowell has been lying to you.”

“I didn’t!” Joanna quickly protested.

Winston stared at her, his heart sinking. What could she have deceived

him about?

When Winston finally freed himself, the back of his hand was visibly marked. Joanna immediately fell to her knees beside his bed as if all her strength had been drained.

As the room fell into silence and uneasy, disbelieving glances were exchanged, Ell’s voice rang out at just the right moment.

“Mr. Greer, the truth is, it wasn’t Ms. Lowell who saved you when you were kidnapped years ago.”

Though Winston had pieced it together from Joanna’s repeated apologies, hearing Eli confirm it left him stunned.

Could it be true? The person who had saved him wasn’t Joanna after all!

He had doubted and investigated countless times, yet she had consistently kept him in the dark. She had deceived him for three long years!

Joanna looked at Winston and shook her head. “Win…” she called out in a trembling volce. Tears streamed down her face as she collapsed in despair.

For three years, she had been focused on keeping the truth hidden and eliminating Millie, believing that would resolve everything. She had
