Genna was pleased with her reaction. She smiled and nodded at Lily. “This girl is steady. She can live a good life”

Hearing that, Lily’s expression visibly relaxed. She replied, “She was raised in comfort. As long as you approve of her. that’s good enough.”

Genna grinned so wide that the flesh on her face trembled. “She is good, just a little too skinny. Might not be easy for her to bear children.”

Yunice understood immediately. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Lily. “Mom, who is she?”

Lily knew Yunice wasn’t asking for a name. She reached out to soothe her. “Your brother asked me to arrange your marriage. Genna is an old friend of mine. Her son is honest and dependable. If you marry him, you won’t suffer.”

Genna quickly chimed in, “That’s right! You won’t have to do anything at my house. Just lie in bed and give birth to a son.”

Yunice turned around, her face cold. “And what if I can’t have a son?”

Genna didn’t realize she was being mocked and said, “It’s fine if you have a daughter. Just keep having kids. You’ll get a son

eventually.”

Alright. Yunice now understood exactly what kind of family this was. She glanced at the coffee table, picked up the teapot. and poured it over Genna’s head! The tea was at a drinkable temperature, but it still made Genna yelp as she flailed her hands in the air.

Yunice had no

intention of stopping. She chased after her, pouring more tea over her head.

Genna couldn’t sit still anymore. She jumped up and ran while screaming. “Lily! What’s wrong with your daughter?!”

Yunice said sharply. “I have mental illness. Sorry, when I have an episode, I like to hit people. Please be understanding!”

With that, she grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it near Genna’s feet. Genna clutched her chest in fear and ran outside, yelling at Lily as she went. “If she’s mentally ill, why didn’t you say so earlier? Are you trying to make my son go crazy too? Lily, you’re a fraud! I’m going to expose you on the matchmaking site!”

“Ohr Lily stood up anxiously. Yunice turned to look at her. Lily opened her mouth but hesitated, then sat back down on the couch, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that Lily didn’t dare move and Ciana wasn’t home, Yunice went straight to the yard to find the tree Gill had mentioned. She then started digging.

She knew that once Owen came back, she wouldn’t escape a beating. So she figured, since she was already in trouble, she might as well get everything done in one go. The shovel hit something solid. Yunice crouched down, brushed away the din, and pulled out a plastic box.

She carried the box back to her room. Lily kept glancing at her but didn’t dare intervene.

Inside her room, Yunice threw a piece of clothing over the surveillance camera, locked the door with a chain, then sat on the floor and started going through what Gill had left her.

The plastic box was filled with things wrapped in plastic. The moment she opened it, a musty smell hit her. Most of it was old paper, notebooks, and random scribbles.

Cill wasn’t well–educated, but she knew Yunice treasured written records. So instead of keeping any valuable items, she had only saved these scraps of paper.

And it was precisely because they were worthless that the Saunders family hadn’t noticed them. But to Yunice, these tattered pages were priceless!

Especially her father’s medical notes. They didn’t just contain his insights on rare and difficult illnesses. They also held the connections he had built.

She checked the surveillance feed and saw Elsie’s car pulling in. Owen stepped out, rubbing his temples, looking exhausted.
