"I made a terrible mistakewas wrong four years ago, terribly wrong, for pretending to be the children's mother! of the children! But inover these pastlast four years, I've pouredgiven my heart and soul into caring for Keith and Owen.to the two kids. Even if I deceivedlied to you, I never caused any harm to themhurt Keith and Owen, did I? How couldcan you do this to me? WhatBy what right do you treat the DeRoss Group like this right do you have to treat the DeRoss Group like this way?"
Standing outside, Haley froze. It seemed like Ivan knew about the children. Haley began to wonder? When had he found out.? Before she could ponder any further, Emily's voice grew even more hysterical.
"I've waited for you for four years, dedicatinggiven the primebest years of my life to the Winston family, and how have you repaid me?" Emily's voice roared with emotion. "? You've never trulyreally seen me, never consideredthought about marrying me! The DeRoss family has never exploitedtaken advantage of the Winstons. Why are you doing this?"
Emily roared. "Do you just want to kill me?" she continued defiantly. "Well? Ha, let me die then, but I'll make sure Keith goes with me!"
Suddenly, she grabbedShe suddenly yanked on the unconscious Keith besidenext to her, her. Her grip was so forceful thatstrong it joltedwoke him awake with a pained grunt. Unable to contain her anxietyremain calm any longer, Haley stormedcharged into the room.
As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she quickly made out the scene before her... She saw Emily gripping Keith's arm, her elbow locked around Keith's neck, and on the back of the child's head was congealed black-red blood...
Haley's heart clenched. tight, "What have you done to Keith?"
"So, it's you!" Emily's taut nerves loosened a fraction, and she suddenly sneered, "How did you find this place? How?"
Keith, half-dazed, snapped his eyes open when he heard Emily's words. When he saw Haley's sudden appearance, a complex of emotions flashed across his face.
Gazing at Haley, who had suddenly appeared, his look was incredibly complex for an instant.
Relieved to see Keith's eyes open, Haley stared coldly at Emily and pronounced every word, "Do you realize the idiotic thing you're doing?"
"Haley, you truly are despicable. Yesterday, you said you would keep this secret, and today Ivan knows!" Emily sneered. "He absolutely hates me now and wishes to tear me to pieces. You must be very pleased. But let me tell you, I won't let you have your way! If I die, I'll take Keith with me, and I'll make sure you and Ivan live with remorse for the rest of your lives!"
With those words, she pressed her elbow harder.
Keith's breath was suddenly choked off, and he gasped for air with great force, appearing to be in a tremendous amount of pain.
Emily chuckled.: "Keith, this is how you treated Ivan before. Isn't this feeling particularly unbearable?"
"Emily, stop it!"
Haley's heart was aching with anger.
As she stepped forward, Emily retreated, keeping a distance of several steps between them.
"You better not come any closer," Emily warned with a sinister smile. "If you get too near, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from strangling this kid."
Her voice, laced with malice was so evil and coldness, causedcold it made Keith to clench his fists tightly.
He had once held genuine affection forsincerely regarded this woman, seeing her as his mother figure, but now, confronted with her desire to harm she wanted to strangle him,.

If he hadn't trusted Emily so much, how could he have possiblyhe wouldn't have possibly ended up in this situation.?
"Just let Keith go, and I'll do whatever you want," Haley said softly. "I know you actually hate me. Whatever your hatred, take it out on me, not Keith."
Hearing her words, Keith was stunned.
She didn't understand why Haley came to save him, and that she would do anything to rescue him. He began to wonder what Emily meant earlier.
Why would Haley come to save him... Why would she pay any price to rescue him?
What did Emily mean by her earlier words?
An unbelievable thought surfaced in Keith's mind.
