Chapter 422
Mrs. Chancer pointed at Sarah's face angrily. "You b*tch! You're doing this on purpose. You know Charlotte is also
a victim - it was all Vivian's doing! Why not prosecute her? Are you just picking on the weak?"
Sarah scoffed, "Don't you know Vivian was the one who released the evidence against Charlotte? She's really the
mastermind, isn't she? You're here confrontingbut not her - who's really picking on the weak?"
"You-!" Mrs. Chancer's face turned pale with anger. Sarah maintained her composure, looking at her coldly.
"Please leave. You're not welchere."
As Mrs. Chancer left, she threatened, "We'll see about this!"
In the psychiatric hospital, Lucy had just finished breakfast. After so many days there, she'd started to adjust.
She'd lost all hope after her mother's repeated attempts to make her take the blame.
She'd even begun to fear visitors, not wanting to hear more cold words from people she once trusted.
Yet an hour later, she saw her mother again.
She was sitting in her room when a nurse brought Mrs. Chancer in.
"Lucy, it's me," Mrs. Chancer approached with a trembling voice.

won't agree. Just go!"
Mrs. Chancer's pupils constricted, but she pressed forward. "Lucy, do you want to cut ties with us completely?"
Lucy's heart skipped - she hadn't expected this threat. Her face paled as she replied disappointedly, "Everyone
keeps askingto take the blame. Fine, let's cut ties!"
Mrs. Chancer laughed bitterly. "You think it's that easy? Without us, do you think you could stay in such a nice
hospital suite? Have you seen the public wards?"
Lucy turned away. "That's not your concern."
"Not my concern? Your clothes, your food - everything comes from the Chancer family. After enjoying all these
benefits, you should give back. Besides, this is just a small matter. That woman wasn't really hurt, the sentence
won't be severe. With your brother's influence, it could be even lighter. After you're released, everyone will forget
about this."
Mrs. Chancer grew increasingly excited as she spoke, already imagining Charlotte's release after Lucy took the
blame.

Wouldn't that be completely humiliating?
Mrs. Chancer had likely anticipated her refusal and remained calm. "If you won't confess, don't ever callmom
again."
