Clearly, they hadn’t fulfilled their duties as elders. Why were they so harsh on Bianca? They didn’t love her at all! She hated them. She had become so unbearable because of them, and they were to blame for it all.

Kevin said calmly, “Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth.”

“No! None of them ever loved me. Only you—you love me!” Bianca was frantic, clutching the iron rod as if it were her lifeline. She refused to believe Kevin’s kindness toward her was just out of obligation, something his grandfather had passed on to him.

Kevin spoke again, his tone steady but distant. “Grandpa is a rational man. He knows what’s right and wrong. The Edwards family didn’t fall into Martin’s hands but into mine—an outsider—because Grandpa knew the family couldn’t be destroyed like this.”

This was why Bianca couldn’t return to the Edwards family. Her irrationality and impulsiveness were things Grandpa had noticed long ago. Even though she was his granddaughter, he had to prioritize the family’s survival. While he felt guilty, he concealed it for the greater good.

If Bianca were to return, she’d become a catalyst for chaos, drawing danger to the family and putting everyone—including Kevin—at risk. This truth was a devastating blow to Bianca.
