Lina's heart thumped inexplicably as if she had done something wrong.
She forced a chuckle. "Renee, why are you rummaging through my things?"
"Is this intended for Lena?" Renee emphasized.
Lina paused, seeming unhappy. She gazed at Renee and nodded slightly. "It's meant for her. Lenny is working, and
coworkers judge by looks. If she doesn't carry something good, they might think less—"
Before she could finish, Renee spoke coldly. "Why didn't you think to get me something valuable to carry when I was
working at the Thompson Group?"
"Renee!" Lina widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"She caused my mother's death!" Renee snapped the box closed and tossed it onto the sofa, where it immediately
rebounded. "Why is it that each and every one of you treats her like a savior and treats her so well?!"

Was the gentle and kind girl she knew in the past gone with Kaitlyn's suicide?
The present Renee was full of resentment, treating Lena as an enemy.
At first, Lena closely watched Kaitlyn and occasionally accused her, saying, "Thief crying thief." But in the end, it
turned out Lena was correct.
"Renee, how could you say that?" Lina breathed deeply. "You've really lost your way! Lenny saved Grandma Janine
and me. She's our savior! And she didn't cause Aunt Kaitlyn's illness.
"Blaming everything on her is unfair. Remember how Lenny shielded you when Aunt Kaitlyn tried to harm us? Don't
forget that."
"Lina, aren't you the one who's lost your way?" Renee's voice trembled, and her eyes filled with hostility, resembling
dark clouds.
Just as Lena approached the doorway, she witnessed the scene unfolding. Her sense of caution kicked in, but she
didn't want to upset Renee by rushing over suddenly. Thus, she chose to observe quietly from the side.
"Huh, savior?" Renee looked at Lina. "Think about how you returned to this family in the first place! I could have had
everything from the Thompsons, but I knew those things were yours, so I didn't touch them. I even tried my best to
return everything to you!
"Later, Gia, Mollie, and even Desiree... When they bullied and framed you, I faced it together with you!
"If we're talking about being a savior, I think I'm more qualified to be your savior!"
"You..." Lina was growing frustrated, feeling a pain in her chest.
A stern voice cut through just then. "Have you gone crazy? Why should Lina be grateful to you?!"
Lina was surprised and turned toward the voice. Lena walked in and quickly took her hand, pulling her behind her.
"Renee Thompson!" Lena's tone was sharp. "Even though I don't know the past, from what you just said, you could

expect gratitude for that, you're beyond help!"
Renee was furious and glared at Lena. "What's it to you? Who asked you to poke your nose in?"
"Lina's affairs are my affairs!" Lena looked at her coldly. "You can bully me, take revenge on me, even hit and curse
me if you want. Consider that I owe you...
"But Lina doesn't owe you anything! I'll fight you to the end if you dare to bully her!"
Renee paled, her eyes widened, and her chest heaved. After a few seconds, she screamed hysterically, slapping
Lena hard.
But Lena remained still, her expression icy.
Lina was shocked. Without hesitation, she rushed to Lena's side, grabbing Renee's hand before it could strike again.
"Aunt Evelyn! Uncle Ian!" Lina shouted, "Come over here right now!"
Renee's crying fit was intense, her emotions on the verge of a breakdown.
Lina asked them to take Renee back to her room first. After she calmed down, she turned around and looked at
Lena.
