Chapter 618 Judgment
Amid Lily’s frantic sobbing, Owen’s eyes were cold and hard. He didn’t let go until Timothy rolled his eyes and passed out from the electric shocks.
“Mom, did you know that Elsie has been sending Timothy money on and off for the past four years?” Owen asked darkly.
Lily panicked and quickly shook her head. “Of course I didn’t know! Are you serious?”
Owen pressed on. “In just four years, Elsie sent Timothy nearly eighty million. Add in the house and the car–where did all that money come from?”
Lily hesitated, trying to come up with an excuse. “Where else could she have gotten it? It had to be from Paul.”
Owen didn’t stop. “Then what about all those expensive luxury goods in your room? Also from Paul? Didn’t the Powell family already demand a full accounting of everything Paul gave you over the years? How do you explain the rest?”
Lily scrambled, still trying to deny it. “If it didn’t come from Paul, then where else? Elsie was just an intern -how could she have that kind of money?”
“There’s always a way,” Owen said coldly, pointing upstairs. “She could’ve done what Peggy did–used her connections with the Saunders and Powell families to trade for cash.”
Lily’s face turned pale again. She realized Owen wasn’t buying it anymore.
Owen sneered. “So all the experienced doctors at Yun Hospital were squeezed out and replaced with incompetents because of you two. You drove them away and took kickbacks to fill the place with quacks. That’s what destroyed the hospital’s reputation–until it collapsed!”
His voice thundered through the house. Then çame another chilling laugh. “You’re asking why things turned out like this? Why our family fell apart? Maybe you should ask yourself that. Lily, it was you who drove me to this. You backed me into a corner…”
Lily shook her head and reached for him. “You have to believe me. This has nothing to do with me. I swear I didn’t know… I don’t understand business, and I never got involved in anything with the company or the household–you know that!”
But Owen had long grown tired of her playing dumb and staying neutral.
He pushed her hand away coldly. “A mother knows her daughter best. Even if all of this was Elsie’s doing, are you telling me you didn’t know a single thing?
Let me ask you again–four years ago, did Yunice really stab Elsie, or did Elsie stage the whole thing and put on a show for me?”
Lily wiped her tears and replied earnestly, “Owen, I promise you, no one lied to you about that.
Back then, Yunny lost control and stabbed Elsie because she was jealous.

“You’re still lying!” Owen shouted. “There was a security camera where they fought. I’ve seen the footage, know the truth now!”
Lily froze, her pupils darting in panic. She couldn’t meet Owen’s eyes.
In reality, there was no footage–Owen had never seen any video. He was just fishing.
But his gamble had paid off.
Lily clearly knew the truth.
She had always known Yunice was innocent, and she’d hidden it for four years.
Owen’s heart sank completely. All these years, he’d been enabling the very people who were using him- helping them go after the one person who had always acted in the family’s best interest.
Sure, Lily and Elsie were the poison that rotted the Saunders family from within. But Owen wasn’t blameless.
He’d thrown his full support behind two people who hadn’t even lived with him for fifteen years–just to win their approval, he’d turned against his own sister.
If he didn’t deserve retribution, who did?
Images of Yunice and her quiet sacrifices for the family flashed through Owen’s mind.
He buried his fingers in his hair and gripped his head in agony, ashamed and unable to look at himself.
“What the hell was I thinking? How could I do so mány horrible things?”
He collapsed to the floor in despair, pounding his head and stomping in frustration. Lily quickly stepped forward, trying to comfort him.
“Owen, this isn’t your fault. It’s Yunice–she’s always been so stubborn.
You’re her older brother. Whether you were right or wrong, she should’ve listened to you. If she didn’t, then she’s the one who was out of line.”
Owen’s eyes burned as he flung her hand away.
Even now, she was still saying that?
It had always been like this–Lily and Elsie feeding him lines like that, putting him on a pedestal, making him believe he ruled the Saunders family.
But what did he really have?
His vision couldn’t match Yunice’s. His skills in medicine were far inferior. He had no sense of timing or strategy. He wasn’t even half as brave or decisive.
He was the most incompetent person in the Saunders family–and he’d hope it ever had.

No wonder the family was falling apart.
Lily slumped to the ground too, her expression turning grim.
She knew now–Owen’s heart had already shifted to Yunice.
