Was Beal implying that he did that for the sake of their welfare?
“But Rosalynn’s condition was unstable, so | hesitated to share with you. Then, a distant relative of my wife expressed interest in adopting a child. | was so overwhelmed that | lied, saying she was found abandoned and gave the baby to her.
| had only one thought on my mind: young Rosalynn’s health wasn’t good, and there was a possibility that she might not make it in the future. | believed it was better to keep Mrs. Moreno uninformed to avoid further pain. I'll disclose the truth if the baby girl grows strong and healthy.”
Beal attempted to concoct a story, trying to rationalize his actions. Brendan looked at him with an icy gaze. “Is that what happened? What came next?”
“Eventually, that distant relative informed me that the child didn’t make it. | had mixed feelings but also breathed a sigh of relief that | hadn’t shared the truth with you and Mrs. Moreno in the first place.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Observing the pair, Beal added, “Mrs. Moreno had a vulnerability to depression back then. If she were hurt again, it would almost certainly lead to her experiencing depression. | truly wanted to alleviate your burdens.”
His voice sounded earnest, and tears streamed down his face.
Brendan gazed at him in disbelief.
“Alleviate our burdens? Then why did you hire someone to eliminate Rosa after discovering she’s our daughter?” Beal's expression changed, and he fell to his knees.
“| deserve punishment for my actions. | fear that if my past deeds come to light, | won't be able to continue serving the family. | lost my composure and made a grave error. Mr. Moreno, | beg your forgiveness. I’ve dedicated many years to your family. Please, consider my service and show mercy.”
Brendan’s eyes blazed with fury as he looked down at Beal.
“Beal, you caused two decades of separation between us and our daughter, nearly driving my wife to depression. And you nearly had my daughter killed. How can you expect forgiveness?”
“I'm truly sorry. Thankfully, she wasn’t harmed. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, considering our family’s unwavering Loyalty to your family.”
“Officer, please take him away!”
Brendan stayed resolute and requested the police to escort Beal from the scene.
The two police officers, standing by, stepped forward and hoisted Beal to his feet.
“Mr. Moreno, | beg you, please have mercy! Selina, please help me.
| acknowledge my mistake!”
As Beal was being escorted away, Selina’s eyes welled up with tears, her fists clenched in distress. “My father acknowledges his mistake. Could you please forgive him?”
This was her father, after all. Naturally, she didn’t want to see him behind bars.
