Ella cried out these words, her emotions completely collapsing as she covered her face and wept in despair.

Seeing her like this, Micah's originally fierce and domineering gaze gradually dimmed.

As Ella said, the whole matter had nothing to do with her. The Clemens family involved her, gave her great hope, and then left her out of it.

Wouldn't anyone else find it hard to accept?

In fact, Micah once entertained this sinful thought when Raymond strongly opposed his relationship with Sadie a long time ago.

If Raymond insisted on him marrying the daughter of the Lingston family, aside from the hot-tempered Amelia, perhaps he could consider the gentle Ella.

But that thought was quickly dismissed by him because he realized that it would ruin someone's life, and it would be unfair to Sadie, too.

So he didn't act on this idea.

Micah never expected Raymond to secretly use this tactic behind his back, with Nelson's encouragement, of course.

Ella's silent crying was extremely unsettling, filled with despair and anger towards life.

Perhaps from her perspective, she was indeed innocent. As she said, she had been living humbly in this world, resigned to her fate. At that moment, someone suddenly gave her immense hope, and she would do everything to grasp it, of

course.

"Mr. Raymond Clemens, please. Let Ella go," Nelson knelt down with a thud, crying and begging. "Fortunately, no serious harm has been done. Mia is almost healed, and Micah and Sadie are not poisoned. Ella's face is already ruined. This is her fate. If you are willing to let us go, we will leave far away and never appear before you again. It's all my fault; I didn't know how to educate my daughter. Please give her a chance."

"If she had only harmed me, I might have let her go," Sadie said coldly. "But she poisoned my daughter. I will never let that go!"

"She didn't mean to harm Mia."

"Just because she didn't mean to, she doesn't have to take responsibility?" Sadie shouted angrily. "Even if the first poisoning was aimed at me, did she not consider the consequences when she drugged Mia later? Mia was healthy and lively. But now she can't even stand up. This toxin could very well cause lifelong aftereffects. You say she's healed, but can you give me back a healthy and lively Mia?"

Nelson was rendered speechless by her outburst, not daring to say a word.

"No matter who she poisoned, it's unforgivable," Micah said mercilessly. "I didn't take action against you but let the law punish you. That's my final mercy. I've submitted all the evidence to the police. The police should be here soon. Prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison."

Ella cried and shook her head, suddenly grabbing a fruit knife from the table to commit suicide.

Rylan immediately stepped forward, snatched the knife, and pushed her to the ground. "If you die here, wouldn't it be hard for the Clemens family to explain?"

"How can you die so easily? Not a chance," Annika said through gritted teeth. "I wish I could kill you cruelly."

Ella's hand was cut by the knife, bleeding profusely. She sat on the ground, crying in despair.

"Mr. Raymond Clemens, please. Please let her go," Nelson once again pleaded with Raymond. "For the sake of me saving Herbert once, spare Ella this time. She's still young. She can't go to prison."

"Just because you saved my father once, the Clemens family has protected the Lingston family for a lifetime. Isn't that enough?" Micah was furious. "Ella turned out this way all because of you."
