"Dad, why..."

Mona looked at Zhen Hu, who was standing in front of her, with surprise and confusion in her eyes.

Mingmei and Mu Chen stopped Lu Xiaoyao, who wanted to help Zhen Hu, and quietly watched the birthday banquet from the sidelines.

All of this made Lillian, who was already on the verge of exploding, even more astonished and confused. Then, a surge of anger of betrayal rushed to her mind, and her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Zhen Hu!

"Why?"

Lena also wanted to ask why.

Why didn't Zhen Hu listen to her and feed Mona the cake with the destructive virus scrambled codes? Instead, he gave Mona a sweet, non-toxic, and perfectly normal little cake.

The other person ate all the cake, but nothing happened.

"I'd like to ask you why," Zhen Hu said coldly, looking at Lillian. "Do you really love Mona?"

"certainly!"

Lillian spoke these words without hesitation, but Mona, who was hiding behind Zhen Hu, trembled almost imperceptibly upon hearing them, and all of this was noticed by Mingmei.

"If you love her, why make her hate everything in the world?"

"What?"

Lillian was taken aback and looked at Zhen Hu, wondering why he was saying these things.

“You could have dealt with this virus by eating or drinking it, but you chose to do this to her through us on a day like this?” Zhen Hu felt there was something very off about Lillian.

She kept saying that she loved her daughter deeply, but she kept emphasizing that she had sacrificed a lot for Mona. Did she really love Mona?

How could she bear to ruin her beloved daughter's life on this special day?

"Do you know that your mother is going to die with you tonight?"

Zhen Hu didn't speak, but turned to look at Mona, who was hiding behind him and holding a tattered doll, and asked her this question.

"Know……"

Mona hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Do you know if there's something wrong with that cake?" Zhen Hu continued to ask.

Mona glanced quickly at Lillian, who was standing not far away, and nodded slowly.

"Are you stupid? You knew there was something wrong with it and you still ate it?"

Lu Xiaoyao was confused by Mona's reaction.

Why could she calmly and obediently eat it even though she knew everyone wanted to harm her?

Aren't you afraid?

"Then... Dad, why did you change the cake?" Ignoring Lu Xiaoyao's question, she instead asked Zhen Hu why he did it.

Zhen Hu didn't give this answer, but Mingmei and Mu Chen chuckled softly from the side.

“There’s a reason why he’s so popular with kids.” Mu Chen said, glancing at Zhen Hu. Seeing that Zhen Hu had a stiff face and looked embarrassed but trying to put on a brave face, Ming Mei added from the side, “He’s a soft-hearted person.”

When Zhen Hu heard Lillian say yesterday that she had never been able to celebrate Mona's birthday properly before, and that Mona would be going to her end after today's birthday, a trace of reluctance appeared in Zhen Hu's eyes.

Once he realized what Lillian was going to do to Mona, he immediately went to Mu Chen, apologized, and then mentioned that he might not be able to do that to Mona.

Zhen Hu didn't want a girl who had never had her parents celebrate her birthday with her to have such a birthday party on her only birthday.

However, he didn't want to do it himself, but he also didn't want to hide it from Mu Chen and the others. At the very least, he couldn't let things get out of control because of his inaction and failure to inform them.

"I don't want to think about it. Who knows if Lillian is even useful?"

Mu Chen showed no objection at the time, which surprised Zhen Hu.

But seeing Lillian suddenly go berserk because Mona was unharmed, Zhen Hu vaguely sensed something.

Lillian's actions are far from simple!

"You all—knew it?"

Seeing Mingmei and Muchen's relaxed demeanor, Lillian suddenly realized that these people in front of her seemed to have never believed her from beginning to end!

Are they playing a trick on her?

"I have no idea……"

Lu Xiaoyao's weak voice came from the side. She felt really wronged. Why were they all keeping it from her again?

"I don't know either... but I can guess." Mingmei noticed Lu Xiaoyao's expression, chuckled, and then expressed that she felt the same way as Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Xiaoyao: "But I didn't even guess that QwQ, why did you have to say the second half of the sentence?"

This makes her seem even more of an idiot!

Mingmei: "..."

She was just trying to find an excuse in case she was asked why her behavior didn't seem like she didn't know, but she still misunderstood. _(：3」∠)_

"Enough! I don't have time to watch you clown around!"

Lillian didn't care how many people knew about tonight's events. She angrily said, "You all know how many evil deeds she's committed from beginning to end, so why are you protecting her now?!"

"Really? You could have stopped all of this yourself, but you made the players the villains. Why? Can you answer Zhen Hu's question just now?"

Suddenly, law enforcement officers, who hadn't been seen on the road for a long time, appeared at the scene without anyone noticing.

Mingmei glanced at the tightly closed door, somewhat bewildered.

How did I get in?

"It's you?"

Unlike Mona, who showed little reaction to the law enforcers, Lillian was even more surprised to see them.

The law enforcement officers were very imposing. While Mona was on guard, she also pulled Zhen Hu back two steps away from the officers.
