Chapter 872

Suddenly, Keith's eyes lit up as he looked at Skylar. He couldn't tear his gaze away. What a beautiful woman!

"You!" Simona exclaimed. She had encountered many shameless people, but none as brazen as this.

Skylar stepped in front of Simona, handing her the phone. Simona paused, noticing the active call displayed on the screen.

"Everything you just said was recorded by the surveillance cameras," Skylar said coldly. "Your distortion of facts and slander give us grounds to file a lawsuit." Her expression hardened further at Keith's lecherous stare.

Keith and his parents were stunned, finally noticing the high-definition surveillance cameras surrounding them. "Every move you make is being recorded," Skylar added.

"Do you even deserve to be parents?" Simona demanded angrily, her eyes red and swollen from pain and despair. Despite her suffering, she refused to be defeated; Aiken's justice and Skylar's support gave her strength. She wouldn't let others' humiliation break her.

But Wendy… unconscious and victimized, yet blamed and falsely accused by her own family. Simona remembered Wendy's envy of those with loving parents—an envy she'd never understood. Now she understood: some parents weren't parents at all; they were monsters.

"How can you speak like that? We're doing this for her good," Valencia interjected, rolling her eyes. "Those boys are wealthy. We can't afford to provoke them. You should think carefully about your family's position and focus on getting compensation."

Simona sneered, clenching her teeth. "Do you believe I'll make things difficult for you?" Those boys were nothing to her; she wanted them to regret their actions and pay the price.

Valencia recoiled, startled.

"Both you and Wendy are despicable and need a lesson! If you had a better attitude, perhaps I'd consider marrying you—without a dowry," Skylar said.

Keith, accustomed to being spoiled, raised his hand to slap Simona. As his hand descended, Skylar grabbed it, simultaneously delivering a sharp slap to his face.

"How dare you hit me!" Keith sputtered, covering his face, ready to retaliate.

Jimmy and Valencia, witnessing their son's assault, moved towards Skylar and Simona, ready for a fight. Just then, the ward door opened, and Wendy leaned weakly against the frame.
