This was what Matthew, who hurried over, witnessed.
Upon receiving Stellas message, he promptly arrived with bodyguards.
Bella was visibly irritated. She turned to Matthew and said, Mr. Clark, please help me. I want these people out.
Following Matthews signal, one bodyguard escorted a pale-faced Tyron away, while two others approached Elizabeth.
As they reached for her, Elizabeth tried to break free.
Dont touch me! Elizabeths voice was piercing. She fell to her knees before Bella and grabbed her legs, pleading, Mom, I now realize my mistakes. Im truly sorry. Please, forgive me just this once.
But Bella remembered the arrogant tone Elizabeth had used while speaking with Tyron earlier.
With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes and said ruthlessly, From today onward, youre no longer my daughter.
Elizabeth was taken aback by Bellas unexpected words, knowing her to be typically gentle-hearted. However, when she observed Bellas interaction with Stella, her anxiety heightened.

The realization struck Elizabeth: if this continued, Bella would eventually uncover her relationship with Stella, leaving Elizabeth with no chance at all.
In a state of panic, a reckless idea surged through her mind.
With a cold stare directed at Stella, Elizabeths gaze darted to the fruit knife on the table. She resolved that even if it meant her demise, she couldnt allow Stella to remain by Bellas side. At the very least, she would confront her fate alongside Stella today.
The impulsive urge consumed Elizabeth entirely. Without a second thought, she seized the knife and lunged toward Stella in a frenzy.
Stella had remained vigilant the whole time, alert to Elizabeths every move.
Though she could have evaded the attack, the presence of Bella beside her gave her pause.
With Bellas safety in mind, Stellas reflexes slowed as she hesitated to dodge.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, driven by madness, gripped the knife tightly as she charged forward, her sole intention fixed on harming Stella.
Bitch, rot in hell! Elizabeth spat out, her words dripping with venom.
Yet, before Elizabeth could make contact with Stella, she was forcefully kicked away.
Matthews expression turned icy as he glared at Elizabeth with disdain.
Bella, taken aback by Elizabeths drastic actions, remained in a state of shock as Elizabeth lay on the floor.
Stella, trembling with fear, felt her heart racing in her chest.
Matthew swiftly kicked the fruit knife aside and commanded his bodyguards, Seize her.
The bodyguards apprehended Elizabeth, who struggled against their hold with visible anguish.
Stella! Elizabeth shrieked in madness, her voice filled with fury.
You deceitful wretch! Youve been instigating conflict between my mother and me all along! Youll meet a gruesome end!
A bodyguard silenced Elizabeth with a harsh slap. Shut up!
Elizabeths face recoiled from the force of the blow, blood filling her mouth as she remained dazed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Kristian returned just as Tyron, who had been taken away moments earlier, spotted him in the corridor. Desperate, Tyron pleaded, Kristian, youre back. Please help me. You know I didnt drug Bella!

Hearing the mention of drug and witnessing the doctors desperate state, Kristian realized that the truth had been uncovered, though he was uncertain to what extent.
Furious at Tyrons folly in not only exposing himself but also attempting to implicate him, Kristian delivered a powerful blow, rendering Tyron unconscious.
You despicable traitor! Kristian seethed. I misjudged you. I never imagined you would betray your profession and try to harm my wife!
The commotion from outside echoed audibly within the room.
As Matthew emerged from the room, he caught sight of Kristian delivering blows to the unconscious Tyron. His expression tightened in disapproval.
Thats enough, Matthew interjected sternly. Hes already unconscious.
However, Kristian, determined to earn trust, persisted, his voice resolute.
This scoundrel drugged my wife and deceived me. I wont let him escape punishment.
Matthew offered a gentle reminder. Bella is still inside. Shouldnt you go and see her first?
