Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046

Chapter 1046:

“Ms. Clarke is right. Don’t be afraid, just tell us who’s behind this, and we won’t do anything to you.”

Yet even as she spoke, her sharp gaze pierced Barton with an unspoken warning. Nova sighed dramatically.

“But honestly, how could the nursing home allow a former employee to access surveillance footage so secretly? Perhaps it’s time I oversee a thorough reorganization—”

Before Nova could complete her sentence, a resounding slap echoed through the room.

“Smack!”

Kinslee’s hand struck Nova’s face with force, leaving her stunned. “Do you think I’m too old to see through your lies, Nova?”

Kinslee’s voice shook with fury, her once-gentle eyes blazing. She pointed her cane accusingly.

“And since when did the Lloyd family’s nursing home fall under your jurisdiction? Stay away from what isn’t within your responsibilities!”

The slap wasn’t merely physical; it was symbolic, a complete dismantling of Nova’s status within the family.

Public humiliation had crushed her carefully built facade.

Even so, Nova had no choice but to endure it.

With Brook standing nearby, she swallowed her pride, lowering her head.

“Kinslee, you were right to slap me,” she said through gritted teeth, forcing a humble tone.

Feigning regret, she added, “The chaos today is my fault. I shouldn’t have trusted others so easily.”

Kinslee’s anger only flared further at Nova’s pretense. “Enough of your innocent act!”

The elderly lady took a deep breath, nearly losing her balance from anger.

Allison stepped forward, steadying her with concern.

“Kinslee, please rest for now. We’ll handle everything,” Allison said gently.

Allison felt grateful that Kinslee had come out to support her. Despite their brief acquaintance, Kinslee’s actions were nothing short of familial, standing by her side with unwavering resolve.

“Allison, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you,” Kinslee said firmly.

Her sympathetic gaze softened as it fell on Allison.

“And as for that necklace, I shall declare that it belongs to you. From this moment on, you are the only granddaughter-in-law I recognize!” Kinslee announced, her voice echoing through the room.

The declaration was met with stunned silence.

The shock rippled through the room, but none were more blindsided than Nova. She had orchestrated today’s drama to push Allison out, yet not only had her plan failed, it had solidified Allison’s position within the family.
