Chapter 278
Miranda's head was hanging so low it looked like she was about to kiss the ground. Nathalie was determined not
to let anyone see her wounds. But Lizzy couldn't hold back her frustration, and spoke up on her behalf. "Mr.
Nathan, it's all Miranda's fault. She said a bunch Nathan let go of Nathalie and marched over to Miranda with a
menacing glare. "What did you say?"
of horrible things last night and made Nathalie cry."
Just as Lizzy was about to explain, Nathan raised a hand to stop her. "I want to hear it from her."
Summoning all her courage, Miranda glanced up at Nathan, but his fierce eyes made her feel like she was being
sucked into a black hole. Her breath caught, and she quickly dropped her gaze again. "Speak," Nathan
commanded, his voice booming.
Miranda's voice shook as she replied, "I didn't say anything..."
After a moment, as if recalling something, she haltingly added. "Oh, she wanted to know the truth about our
family, so | told her. She's not Patrick's real daughter..."

Nathan's eyes darkened dangerously, his fists clenching under his sleeves. "And what else?"
Miranda tried to play innocent. "I just don't get it. She only lost a kidney, but she acts like we owe her
everything. Can't she be more forgiving? Wouldn't it be better if we all just got along?"
As Miranda spoke, a chill ran down her spine. She looked up at Nathan. His icy gaze felt like a thousand arrows
piercing through her, leaving her trembling.
Nathan was furious as he said, "How dare you! Why do you expect her to help you so selflessly? You're so
shameless. You don't deserve this life anymore." Lizzy clapped in agreement. "Right on. Mr. Nathan has spoken,
and I'll happily oblige."
Lizzy fetched a pill from a drawer, dropped it into a glass of water, and walked over to Miranda.
Miranda screamed in terror. "What are you doing?"
She knew Nathalie's soft heart and turned to her for mercy. "Nathalie, I'm your mother. You can't do this. This will
bring bad karma."
Nathalie felt a stab of guilt and unconsciously stepped forward. But Nathan blocked her path, standing like a
wall.
"Nathan..." Nathalie's face showed her inner turmoil.
Nathan spoke firmly, "I won't let you interfere. If she made you unhappy, then let her be even more miserable."
Nathan's protectiveness caused a

warmth to spread through Nathalie's heart. She had always been clear-headed and never hurt people who cared
about her while protecting someone who didn't.

"I won't interfere then." She smiled softly, then turned and walked away, feeling lighter.
Nathan watched her leave, a slight smile breaking through his cold demeanor. Nathalie was such a wonderful

With Nathalie gone, Miranda had no protector left.
Lizzy let loose, pouring the drugged water into Miranda's mouth.
Miranda shrieked from the burning pain. "I'm going to die," she cried out, desperate for help.
With a wicked grin, Lizzy said, "Don't worry, | won't let you die. Your death would spoil my fun. | need you alive.

Not long after swallowing the
drugged water, Miranda's face
itched unbearably. She scratched
furiously, tearing her skin apart. The sight was horrifying. Her skin was raw and bloody, yet she couldn't stop
herself.
