Chapter 370

Early the next morning, a video of Caroline tearfully confessing her wrongdoings went viral across the internet. The footage was released precisely at 6 a.m. In the video, Caroline leaned weakly against the headboard of a hospital bed, her surroundings unmistakably medical. Reports soon surfaced that she had been rushed to the hospital late the previous night for emergency stomach pumping. Her eyes rimmed red and her face deathly pale, Caroline recounted her sins in a trembling voice. She detailed how Julian had been treated upon first entering the Everett household—the abuse, the verbal assaults, even the forced medication. Shockingly, she also admitted to orchestrating the infamous car accident from Julian's reckless racing days. Evelyn was jolted awake by Alexandra's frantic phone call. By then, Caroline's confession had already stirred a massive storm online. All traces of drowsiness vanished in an instant. She bolted upright in bed, her eyes darting to the empty space beside her.
