"I can't believe this..." Whispers spread through the crowd, and all eyes were fixed on Sadie, scrutinizing her as if she were under a harsh spotlight.
Feeling exposed and judged by every gaze, Sadie experienced a crushing sense of vulnerability. The pressure felt suffocating.
She staggered back a step, bumping into the couch behind her and nearly falling.

The realization struck her like a sudden, harsh blow. She had never anticipated that the situation would escalate to such a degree.
"What's with that look now? Are you scared?" Susannah mocked Sadie's dazed and devastated expression, deriving a twisted satisfaction from it and feeling no sympathy. "Stop playing the victim! Do you think that looking innocent will clear you of guilt? No chance! You owe our Howe family!" Susannah's relentless tone overwhelmed Sadie.
"I really don't understand...” Sadie stammered, attempting to defend herself, but Susannah's biting accusations and the judgmental glares from the crowd left her feeling utterly helpless.
"You don't? You think ignorance excuses your actions? Do you believe you can deceive us that easily?" Susannah scoffed, her gaze intensifying. "Listen, Sadie, you're not going anywhere until you tell the truth." "Aunt Susannah, please, take a moment to calm down. Don't let this overwhelm you..." Lamont interjected, standing close and supporting Susannah cautiously, worried she might spiral out of control. While he harbored sresentment towards Sadie, the sight of her so distressed evoked a hint of sympathy. After all, Sadie was the woman his cousin Alex cared deeply about.

Don't you see that it's because of her the Wall Group is targeting us? Do you understand how merciless Noah can be? Our Howe family... We might not survive this..." Susannah's voice faltered. She was overwhelmed by her emotions.
She pointed at Alex with a shaking finger, her face etched with fury and despair.
"Mom! Please, try to calm down! It's not as dire as you imagine," Alex attempted to pacify her. "Don't overreact. I'll take care of it..." "You'll take care of it? How? With what means?" Susannah's control shattered.
