"Are you….” Camila was shocked. "Taking drugs?"
Owen appeared indifferent, lounging on the couch in a relaxed manner. However, he looked significantly better. He retrieved a beer bottle from beneath the messy table and cracked it open, releasing white foam.
"Yes." He took a sip and smiled at her. "Hey… Would you like to try it? It's amazing!"
Despite the chaos, she maintained a bottom line, understanding what she should and shouldn't engage with.
Terror and rage consumed her as she stared at him and took steps backward.
"How dare you… take drugs?!"
"My life is ruined anyway. Is there anything that I won't dare do?!" He suddenly stood up, his bloodshot eyes making him look terrifying.
"I was sick for a long time. I thought I was dying, so I started using to make myself feel better… Ha! Never had I thought my sister would meet a fool like Daniel. Not only did I manage to live, but I could continue taking drugs!
"Sigh… I live as if life is a dream. I just enjoy my life one day at a time. That's enough for someone like me!"
"So…" Camila came to a realization, "You've been needing money, asking for money from me, harming your pregnant sister… because you're using?!"
"That's right!" He laughed out loud, his laughter echoing in the run-down house.
Camila's face changed. She had bribed Owen to push Maisie from the building, framing Daniel.
Back then, she had wondered why someone would harm their own sister. Now she knew the reason.
