Gina let out an exhale, staring at the phone with a sort of familiarity. Riley gulped as she saw the suspicion in her eyes. After a tense silence, Riley quickly turned on her heel and attempted to grab the phone from Gina, who stepped back out of her reach. "It's your phone? Really, Riley?" Gina shook her head in disbelief, leaving Riley speechless. "Y-yes. It's mine. Give it back," Riley stammered, her mind racing. She had completely forgotten that she had been seen by Gina and now she was starting to panic. "I saw you earlier picking it up. And I also saw the devious thing you did," Gina said, her voice cold. Riley's eyes widened in horror as she realized that Gina had witnessed her talking with Amira and knew the truth. Beads of sweat started forming on her forehead. “You're a terrible liar. Keep this up, and I'll report you to Grandfather and Aunt Zora," Gina warned sternly before leaving Riley standing there, seething with frustration. “That thwart." She groaned in annoyance

Karina grappled with conflicting emotions as Aidan's words sank in. Despite the sincerity she sensed in his voice, years of hurt and betrayal made it difficult for her to let her guard down completely. "Let's focus on your recovery," she deflected, turning to the doctor for an update on Aidan's condition. "Doctor, how's he doing?" “You don't need to worry, Miss Everhardt." The doctor offered reassurance, explaining that while Aidan was on the path to recovery, they needed to conduct further scans to rule out any underlying injuries. Karina felt a wave of relief wash over her, grateful that Aidan was making progress. "Fantastic," she murmured, attempting to inject some levity into the conversation. "Guess that means I won't have to play nursemaid anymore." However, Aidan's demeanor shifted, his expression turning serious as he locked eyes with Karina. "Actually, Karina, I need you to stay," he stated firmly, catching her off guard with the intensity of his tone. He turned to the docto

With a calm demeanor, Karina brushed off Wally's remarks and bid farewell with a smile that betrayed her true emotions. "What a disappointment she turned out to be," Wally grumbled, watching Karina drive away. She turned to her grandmother, sarcasm dripping from her words. "I hope you see now that Karina is far from innocent. She's a master manipulator." Grandma Lila waved off Wally's comments, her gaze shifting to Xander, who looked puzzled. "Who do you think she was referring to?" he asked. Shrugging, Grandma Lila admitted, "I'm not sure. She was cryptic about it." Intrigued, Wally pressed for more information. "What exactly did Karina say?" she inquired. Grandma Lila recounted Karina's claim that someone else had poisoned her food six years ago, implicating someone other than herself. Wally scoffed at the notion. "You believe her? She's probably just spinning lies to win your favor again," she scoffed, before storming off. Alone with Xander, Grandma Lila couldn't help but feel

It was Karina. As she entered the room, Gina's anxiety spiked, her heart pounding with the fear that Karina had overheard their conversation. Karina's stern expression only heightened Gina's unease, and she exchanged a nervous glance with her mother. "Gina," Karina called out, her tone serious, as she approached them. Hana leaned in towards Gina, muttering under her breath, "I didn't do it." Gina hesitated, torn between her loyalty to her mother and her growing concern over Karina's demeanor. With a deep breath, she began, "Sorry, Karina. I can explain..." Before Gina could elaborate, Karina cut her off, her brows furrowing in concern. "Is there a problem?" Gina glanced at her mother, who had turned away, before turning back to Karina with a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What's wrong? I just came back to retrieve a file I forgot for the company, and I happened to overhear your conversation. Is everything alright?" Karina's voice was gentle, but there was an underlying tension i
