Chapter 698 Confession and Correction
Owen wanted so badly to be close to Yunice again, but he knew–he’d lost that right long ago.
Even if he cried now, to Yunice, they’d be nothing but crocodile tears.
After a long silence, he forced out a smile more bitter than a sob. “With Carl and Wyatt protecting you, I feel at peace.”
Yunice replied, “Oscar too. He’s looking out for me.”
Owen’s lips quivered. He lowered his voice with shame. “Right… Oscar too…”
She still called Oscar her big brother. But she would never call Owen that again.
Beneath the table, Owen’s fingers clawed at his pants. “I know there’s no escaping my sentence, but I still have thirty billion left in my accounts–from selling the family’s mansion and the hospital. You know that, don’t you?”
Yunice nodded. “What are you trying to say?”
“I won’t live much longer,” Owen said. “By the time the verdict comes down, I’ll probably die in prison.”
He let out a bitter laugh. “You’re probably enjoying the irony, huh? I am too. I chased all that power and money… only to end up with nothing. Not a damn thing. That money should’ve belonged to you and Oscar.”
Yunice said nothing.
Owen paused, then spoke with a heavy gaze. “Yunice, I want to give that money back to you. I know you don’t need the thirty billion, but it’s eating me alive. Lily and Elsie led me around by the nose, and I hate them for it. I’d rather hand that money to you than let either of them touch a cent.”
As long as it made them suffer, he’d do it.
He didn’t expect Yunice to forgive him–but he’d make sure the ones who betrayed him paid the price.
Yunice didn’t reject him. She only answered calmly, “But I’m no longer part of the Saunders family. No one can prove who I am. How can I legally take your money?”
Owen’s eyes were resolute. “I’ll handle it. Just leave it to me.”
Yunice nodded, then turned and left the detention center.
That night, Owen confessed everything to the police.
But he also lied.
He claimed Lily was his accomplice in the abuse and unlawful imprisonment.
He said he didn’t know anyone named Elsie–claimed she was already dead.
He admitted to forging psychiatric records to have Yunice wrongfully committed.

Chapter 698 Confession and Correction
குர
He also confessed to orchestrating the identity swap between Yunice and Elsie, providing details of the forged documents and even tying Yunice’s new identity into his web of lies.
“Why did you let Elsie take your real sister’s identity?” the officers asked.
Owen replied with unwavering conviction, “Because I’m not Will’s son. Elsie and I share the same mother. We’re Lily and Timothy’s children. Lily was never kidnapped into the mountains–she was having an affair with Timothy. She had me first, then Elsie. Elsic is my biological sister. I threw Yunice out to take her place, for the money and power. Oscar was always away from home, so he couldn’t threaten my position. They all thought I was being a dutiful son and a good brother, but they had no idea–I didn’t share their blood. How could I ever truly be one of them?”
The officer frowned. What a twisted web.
Owen went on. “The DNA test results from the original identity swap already showed it–Elsie and I are siblings. Even if Elsie’s dead, the blood doesn’t lie.”
Now that both Elsie and Will were gone, Owen could deny everything else.
If the dead could be used as solid evidence, then Yunice would’ve already reclaimed her identity.
Timothy had vanished again. It could take over a year to find him. In the meantime, Owen insisted that he was Timothy’s son–and no one could prove otherwise.
Even Lily would have no way to refute it.
When the police repeatedly asked him to confirm his claims, Owen stood firm each time.
On the seventh day after his arrest, Owen signed the official property transfer documents, formally relinquishing all rights to the Saunders Corp inheritance.
The case, due to special handling, was never made public or discussed online.
Everything moved forward quietly.
At last, the identity certification signed jointly by Owen and Oscar was handed over to Yunice.
After cross–referencing testimonies, evidence, and archived records, the police confirmed that Yunice had, in fact, been a victim of identity theft. Given the severity of the administrative errors in the registration -system, they officially approved the process to restore Yunice’s rightful status.
At the same time, Owen agreed to remove himself from the Saunders Corp.
