Salma, the youngest daughter of a wealthy family, was accustomed to a life of privilege and indulgence. Her parents and two older brothers doted on her, which made her somewhat spoiled.
However, her relationship with her sister was strained, and she was taken aback by the way she was treated, particularly by William
Steven, who had overheard Salma’s phone conversation, didn’t catch the specifics but could infer the gist of it. He began to question if Salma was under Melinda’s influence and was grappling with psychological issues.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned to Salma with a grave expression and asked, “Should we consult a psychiatrist or a psychologist?”
If she was indeed under Melinda’s influence, seeking professional help seemed like a sensible course of

Salma, jolted back to reality by Steven’s suggestion, stared at him in disbelief. “Do you genuinely believe I’m mentally unstable?” she retorted.
Steven attempted to pactly her. “If we’re facing problems, we should confront them. Let’s go and consult a professional
Salma was livid. She could barely contain her anger as she sternly told Steven to leave her alone before storming out of the hospital room. She was not mentally ill, so why should she see a psychiatrist?
Steven and Andrew watched Salma leave in a huff, feeling helpless. They didn’t attempt to stop her.
With no support from Steven’s family and no one else to turn to. Salma a full-time housewife, had to rely on her a*sistant to investigate the matter.
By the time she returned to the inn in Cubilis, it was already evening. Her a*sistant had completed the investigation and showed her the replay of the livestream.
Salma was shocked to see the girl locked in the yard and the police confirming the discovery of a b*dy buried beneath a large tree. She muttered to herself in disbelief. “Is this true? Did Banny really do such a thing?

Salma’s expression darkened. She immediately called Melinda to confront her.
Melinda, however, denied any knowledge of Banny’s actions and claimed that he was framed by Simone. Salma, reluctantly, believed her.

Unable to reach Adam, who was abroad, Melinda turned to her son, Skyler. However, Skyler, aware of what she wanted, refused to help Banny and ignored her calls.
Melinda then turned to Leon, who had just returned to the inn with Simone after a day of livestreaming.
When Leon answered her call, Melinda berated him for not helping Banny. Leon retorted, “Banny brought this upon himself. He deserves it.
Melinda, unable to control her anger, demanded. “You must help Banny with this matter.
Leon scoffed. I’m just a celebrity. What can I do to a*sist a criminal?
Melinda, in her fury, suggested. Simone! She harmed Banny, so she should take responsibility. If you allow her to save him. I will agree to you being together.”
Leon was taken aback. Steven and Gwen had previously mentioned that Melinda was arrogant and foolish. Now, after hearing what Melinda had said, Leon found himself in complete agreement with their
