Chapter 486 Shocked Shirley

• Everything had a purpose. Every event had been set in motion long before any of them realized. David had prepared for this outcome from the very beginning.
• "Does Mom... know?" Shirley asked. A thought struck her—a terrible, undeniable thought. Had Maggie tried to kill Frankie because of this?
• "No," Joshua said, his lips curving in a faint smirk. "Don't overthink it. Maggie still believes Frankie is nothing more than David's adopted son. For now. The future, though—that's another matter. Maybe she'll uncover the truth. Maybe she won't. Either way, I hope she lives long enough to see everything fall apart."
