785 Chapter 784
The mont Lewis spoke, everyone paused, clearly caught off guard.
Ryan broke the silence. "Then please, Mr. Horton, could you pull up the surveillance footage?"
With a wave of Lewis's hand, the butler imdiately went to arrange it.
Selena's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked back and forth between Lewis and Keira before she finally snapped, "You installed caras in the house?"
Keira nodded. "We did. There've been way too many things going missing around here lately. Caras are just a precaution. And like right now, since nobody's sure what happened, let's see what the footage says."
Selena bit her lip, her fists clenching.
She was convinced that Keira and Lewis had to be bluffing. Who would put caras in their own kitchen?
Erin's gaze fell directly on Selena. "It's not too late to tell the truth right now. I might even let you have this pill so you can live a few more days."
Selena let out a cold laugh.
There's no way the kitchen caras were real, she thought. If they were, why would Erin make an offer like that?
She grabbed Gavin's arm. "Honey, why would I lie? Don't you believe ?"
Gavin nodded imdiately. "Of course, I trust you! Selena, you've always been so sweet and thoughtful. You've always wanted to make peace with Uncle Lewis and Aunt Keera. How could that be fake?"
Turning to Lewis and Keira, he spoke with renewed anger. "You two better not be trying to fra Selena. She's already at death's door. Do you really think she'd lie to ?"
Keira and Lewis exchanged a look but said nothing.
Ryan stepped in, "Gavin, calm down."
"Calm down? How could I possibly calm down?!" Gavin's voice rose to a near shout, his eyes reddening as he gestured toward Selena. "Look at her—my wife! She's dying, and you want to sit quietly in the ho of her would-be murderer? Ryan, I know you have your loyalty to Keera after she saved your life, but I... I need justice for my wife! I won't stand here and watch her suffer!"
Ryan frowned, deep in thought.
Ellie, glancing from Selena to Keira, chid in, "Gavin, Ms. Olsen isn't like that. There's got to be so misunderstanding here…"
"What misunderstanding?" Selena let out a bitter laugh. "I an, I couldn't possibly poison myself, could I?"
Just then, the butler returned, "Sir, the footage is ready."
He handed a tablet to Lewis, who barely glanced at it before passing it to Gavin. "See for yourself."
Gavin snatched it, taking one look before his eyes widened in shock. His gaze turned sharply to Selena.
Seeing his expression, Selena asked anxiously, "Honey, what is it? There's no footage, right? They're just bluffing…"
But Gavin handed her the tablet. "Selena, w-what is this?"
One look at the footage, and Selena went blank, stunned beyond words. She turned to stare at Lewis in disbelief
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Told you. The caras are real."
Selena's mind spun. She had underestimated him!
Her lip trembled as she suddenly threw her arms around Gavin's leg. "Honey, I... I just don't want to live anymore! They've driven to this! I wanted to die here in the Cobbs' ho so they'd pay for this. You have to help !"
Gavin stared down at her, speechless, a growing confusion on his face.
Ryan's voice cut in, his tone calm, "But earlier, didn't you seem to think it was Gavin who had colon cancer?"
Gavin looked over at Ryan, baffled. "Ryan, what are you saying? You an…?"
Ryan continued, "If you had colon cancer and were killed by poison in the Horton ho, then yes, that would make things between the Cobbs and the Hortons very different."
Taking a deep breath, Gavin turned to Selena, a new understanding dawning on him. "So at the hospital, when I asked you to pick up my dication, and you switched it with vitamins… You were saving money for yourself?"
He looked at her intently. "Why, Selena? Just tell —why would you do that?"
Seeing there was no point in denying it anymore, Selena laughed bitterly, shoving Gavin away. "Why? You really want to know why? Fine. It's because I wanted you to help get revenge. But you're a coward—you've never agreed to any of it! If you had, I wouldn't have gone through all of this trouble just to try to hurt you! And instead... I ended up hurting myself."
