Chapter 1304: The Truth is Revealed
At three in the morning, the night was deep and quiet.
A slight noise suddenly broke the silence inside Gilliam Mansion.
A door on the second floor opened, and a mysterious figure swiftly exited with a bag on her back.
She cautiously looked around, and finding no one, she successfully slipped out of Gilliam Mansion.
She headed to a secluded spot in the back hills and parted the grass.
There, hidden away, was a red motorcycle. She swung her long leg over it, turned the key, and prepared to leave.
The engine roared, but for some reason, the bike wouldn’t move.
“What’s going on? Is it broken?”
Frustrated, Libby got off the bike and used her phone’s flashlight to inspect it.
At that moment, a cold, disappointed voice came from behind her.
“I didn’t expect it to be you!”
The familiar voice startled Libby. She turned around to see Pearl standing not far away, her long hair loose and wearing a white silk nightgown with ruffles.
In the dim moonlight, frost glistened on the grass tips.
Pearl’s naturally beautiful face glowed in the dark night, and her bright eyes were fixed intensely on Libby.
Libby paused and slowly stood up from the ground.
Caught red-handed, but her face showed no fear, only a calmness that was almost terrifying.
“Pearl, what are you talking about? What do you mean it’s me? I just couldn’t sleep and came out to check on my pet.” Pearl let out a mocking laugh.
“Stop pretending. Just because I’m naive doesn’t mean I’m stupid enough to be deceived by you!”
“You killed Ruth, didn’t you?”
Mentioning Ruth meant she knew the truth. Libby’s eyes flickered.
She licked her lips lightly, her cold and charming face covered with a layer of frost.
“That girl is your friend. Why would you ask me?”
“Hmph, stop pretending! Do I have to spell it out? If it weren’t for you, Ruth wouldn’t have gone astray and betrayed me!”
So those two fools sold her out. Libby thought to herself that once she got out of here, those two would have to go!
“You’re wrong. Your friend Ruth was forced by her family. It had nothing to do with me.”
“If you hadn’t bribed Ibrahim to set her up, she wouldn’t have ended up encased in cement by Lord Parker.”
“We have both witnesses and evidence. Libby, you can’t deny it!”
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Pearl’s anger made Libby see her in a new light.
Libby no longer hid her intentions and smiled coldly. “I thought it would take you longer to figure this out.”
“Yes, I killed Ruth. Blame her for being your friend!”
As the bloody truth came out of her mouth, Pearl staggered back two steps, her expression heartbroken.
“It was you… why?”
“If you have a problem with me, come at me directly. Why hurt my friend?”
“And the person who tried to kill me a few days ago was you too, right? I have a good memory. This motorcycle and this knife… they’re all things you’ve used before!”
As she spoke, Pearl pulled out a knife from behind her.
The stainless steel knife, pierced by a bullet hole, gleamed under the moonlight, reflecting a cold face.
Libby admitted it with a slight smile.
“Yes, it was me! If Sam hadn’t interfered that day, you would already be dead!”
Pearl took a deep breath and gripped the knife tightly.
“For that position?”
“Yes!”
“But I never wanted to compete with you for anything!”
Whether at the dining table or in reality, Pearl had never thought of competing with her…
What Libby hated most was Pearl’s indifferent and modest attitude towards fame and fortune.
She snorted coldly and said even more coldly, “Yes, you never thought about it because you don’t have the ability!”
“I…”
“But what about Declan?”
“He wants to leave that position for you. He even trained Sam as my rival just to support you!”
She had to admit that Sam was the strongest enemy she had ever encountered.
Ambition, intelligence, means… he lacked nothing. With him as Pearl’s support, she would stand no chance.
“You even know about this…”
The decision for her and Sam to marry was made today. How did Libby find out so quickly?
“Don’t be surprised. I’ve been by Father’s side for many years. I know his every move.”
With her ambition exposed, Libby spoke directly about her goal.
“For the sake of our sisterhood, if you promise Father that you don’t want that position and cancel your engagement with Sam, I’ll spare your life!”
Pearl had never wanted that position. But now she had to consider Sam.
After thinking for two seconds, she looked up again and refused Libby’s condition.
“I’m sorry, I can’t agree.”
Pearl’s answer stunned Libby for a moment before she burst into laughter.
“Ah? Haha, I knew you were just pretending to be noble. You care more than you show.”
Facing her misunderstanding, Pearl sighed deeply.
“No matter what you say, I now represent more than just myself. Besides, I can’t refuse him. You overestimate me.”
“You! Pearl, if you want to fight, see if you have the life for it!”
In an instant, Libby’s “kind persuasion” turned into murderous intent again.
She rushed forward and snatched the knife from Pearl’s hand with ruthless determination in her eyes.

Pearl realized too late that she couldn’t avoid it. The knife came slashing through the air.
At the critical moment, a voice called out from behind her.
“Miss Pearl, watch out!”
“I… I can’t die!”
With an intense will to survive, Pearl bent down quickly and dodged the attack.
The knife missed its mark. Just as Libby prepared for a second strike, bright lights illuminated the area.
The glaring light made her squint and pause her actions.
“Stop!”
Declan had arrived.
Behind him were Natalia, Sam, Brody, and others.
How did they get here?
“Dad… Daddy… Aunt…”
Her mind went blank for a moment. The knife fell to the ground with a clang.
What awaited Libby was a slap across the face.
The person who hit her was Aunt!
