" Seamus stepped into the ward , exuding a cold , commanding presence that made anyone feel cautious . He threw a folder onto the table . Inside was a printed chat record , visible at a glance through the transparent cover . Seamus took a seat on the couch and leaned back . His icy gaze swept over Kate . He began sharply , " Ms. Pearson's every word and action has affected Mr. Snider and his girlfriend's life . Mr. and Mrs. Pearson , shouldn't you offer an explanation ? " They were chat logs between Alfonso and the media , which was enough to prove that Kate had orchestrated everything .

Seamus continued , " Ms. Pearson is suspected of poisoning the two children and then using the medicine as leverage to coerce Mr. Snider and Ms. Ravelle into compliance . " Mrs. Pearson , we can understand that she probably wants you to see her married and settled soon . But we have a question . Do you , as her parents , approve of this behavior ?

Just then , Evie coughed up blood and collapsed . Kate's scream tore through the ward . " Mom ! Mom ! " Medical staff rushed in , immediately starting emergency treatment . Amid the chaos , Seamus said calmly , " What can lift you up can also bring you down . Ms. Pearson , you profit from public outrage .
