Chapter 669:

Fear washed over her, draining the color from her face. She quickly retreated behind Kyson, gripping his suit sleeve tightly.

She wondered how Carrie had managed to win over such formidable allies. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that she had not listened to Aliza’s suggestion to find a man to ruin Carrie’s reputation.

The Webster family was deeply involved in both business and education, upholding a strict code of conduct. While Marina often acted the part of the pampered heiress, she harbored no true malice.

Her intent had merely been to frighten Carrie as a form of reprimand.

Kyson firmly pulled Marina from behind him, his expression stern. “Marina, are you involved in this?”

Marina’s gaze shifted nervously. “I’ve been upstairs all this time. How could I know what happened to her?”

Kyson saw through her evasion. He turned to his assistant, instructing, “Check the security footage. Find out which maid escorted Ms. Campbell upstairs.” As he spoke, he gave Marina a piercing look, his voice harsh. “I offered you a chance to confess. If you won’t, and I find out, you’ll be sent back to Izrosa permanently. Our family does not harbor such malice.”

Marina stared at Kyson in shock, her eyes welling up as she protested, “Kyson, I’m your sister! How can you side with her over me? She’s not even hurt. Why should I be exiled to Izrosa?”

Though his expression remained stern, Kyson’s voice softened slightly. “Mistakes I can forgive, consequences I can handle. But I cannot stand by as you continually err and weave lies upon lies.”

Marina’s emotions, stretched to their limit, finally broke.

Tears streamed down her face as she threw herself into Kyson’s arms. Kyson embraced her gently, stroking the back of her head to calm her trembling frame. “Don’t be afraid,” he murmured. “I’m here for you.”

Once Marina’s sobs quieted slightly, Kyson lifted his gaze to meet Carrie’s, his expression solemn. “Ms. Campbell, I’m not excusing Marina’s behavior. She’s always been a bit naive and could never come up with such a malicious plan on her own. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly, and once I have the full picture, I’ll personally bring her to the Morrison family to apologize.”

Marina peeked out from Kyson’s arms, her face streaked with tears and a hint of defiance. “I only wanted to scare her a little,” she said, her voice breaking. “Who knew she’d try climbing out the window? If she’d just stayed put for a while, I would’ve let her out after the banquet ended.” Her words, though tearful, were a clear admission of guilt.

Carrie’s face remained calm, her voice even as she replied, “Forget it. I didn’t really lose anything. Let’s just move on.”

Marina’s sheltered upbringing was evident. She was a classic example of a naive young lady who lacked the awareness to grasp the consequences of her actions.

But Carrie suspected someone else had orchestrated this incident. Her thoughts circled around Aliza.

Carrie’s eyes flicked toward Kristopher, rolling slightly in exasperation. Somehow, everything always seemed to circle back to him.

Reece, however, wasn’t as forgiving. His cold gaze settled on Marina, his tone sharp and cutting. “I told you that Carrie is my cousin. Yet, you still treated her this way. Do you have a problem with me?”
