Chapter 8 - The True Mastermind
Dozens of heavily armed police officers flooded into the ruined clinic, completely surrounding the room.
They were led by a tall, heavily decorated police captain who looked completely devoid of any morality.
Evelyn elegantly walked into the clinic right behind him, carefully stepping over the shattered glass in expensive designer heels.
She looked at the chaotic scene with profound disgust, her cold eyes eventually landing on Daniel.
"You are incredibly sloppy, Daniel," the matriarch scolded sharply, entirely unimpressed by his violent efforts.
She admitted completely openly that she had never wanted Clara dead in the beginning.
Evelyn only ever wanted the massive fortune and the pureblood heir to secure the family legacy forever.
"But you ruined everything by playing your pathetic little games on the glass roof," Evelyn snapped at her son.
She turned her cold, terrifying gaze toward the exhausted Clara holding the crying newborn.
"Now she knows absolutely everything, which unfortunately means she cannot be allowed to live," Evelyn declared ruthlessly.
She turned to the corrupt police captain and calmly ordered him to shoot Clara right in the chest.
Daniel actually looked away, entirely willing to let his own mother murder his wife for a massive paycheck.
Clara clutched her baby desperately, closing her eyes and fiercely praying for absolute peace in her final moments.
The heavy, terrifying click of a gun hammer being pulled back echoed loudly in the silent room.
But the gunshot absolutely never came.
Clara slowly opened her eyes and gasped in pure, unadulterated shock at the impossible scene before her.

The police captain had confidently raised his weapon, but he was not aiming it at Clara.
The cold, unforgiving barrel of his gun was pointed directly at Evelyn's forehead.
