Chapter 2 – The Reason Behind the Hatred
Chapter 2 – The Reason Behind the Hatred
The ambulance rushed Mrs. Carter to the hospital.
Miraculously...
The baby was still alive.
Doctors ordered emergency surgery while Detective Ruiz continued questioning everyone at the mansion.
Hours later...
The truth became impossible to hide.
The blonde woman's name was Vanessa.
She wasn't simply a jealous relative.
She had spent years secretly controlling the Carter family's finances.
Using fake companies.
Forged signatures.
Shell accounts hidden overseas.
She had stolen millions.
Everything remained hidden...
Until Emily Carter returned.
Unlike the rest of the family, Emily had once worked as a financial investigator before leaving her career to build a quieter life.
She noticed tiny inconsistencies.
Missing invoices.
False transfers.
Payments to companies that didn't exist.
She never confronted Vanessa immediately.
Instead...
She quietly contacted Detective Ruiz.
For months they built a case.
Every bank record.
Every phone call.
Every security log.
Until only one thing remained missing.
Proof that Vanessa would resort to violence.
Ruiz never wanted Emily involved.
But Emily knew something.
"If she's willing to steal from family..."
"...she'll eventually try to eliminate the person exposing her."
She was right.
The staircase became Vanessa's final mistake.
Back at police headquarters, investigators searched Vanessa's phone.
What they found horrified everyone.
Encrypted messages.
Large cash transfers.
Conversations with a hired mechanic.
Instructions to contaminate medication.
Even discussions about making Emily's death "look accidental."
Ruiz closed the file.
"This wasn't rage."
"It was a calculated campaign."
Vanessa lowered her head.

For the first time...
She stopped pretending to cry.
