From time to time, they swapped their roles.

The once tranquil hospital corridor had transformed into a stage for their melodrama.

Trying to keep their composure, the medical staff nearby barely held back their laughter.

“Don’t worry, dear Zoey, even in your absence, I will fight for your justice!”

Having stopped his tears, Zayden turned to Katelyn with an accusing glare.

“It’s because of you, my precious daughter is dead. How will you make amends? If you don’t compensate us today, I swear I’ll end my life on your doorstep and add to your guilt!”

Katelyn stared back at Zayden intensely.

Though he had been crying and yelling, there were surprisingly no tears in his eyes.

It was clear it was all an act to squeeze money out of the situation.

At that instant, Katelyn grasped the significant impact of parental influence on children.

With parents so greedy and shameless, it was no surprise that Zoey had been influenced by them.

Then Wrenley added, “Yes, Zoey was our eldest. I devoted so much to her upbringing, yet she hadn’t started to repay us when you brought about her early death. Now that she’s gone, who’s going to support our family? You need to make up for this loss.”

Their faces blatantly displayed greed, with no hint of emotion other than a desire for money. Katelyn saw the sheer irony in the situation.

There was not a single genuine concern for Zoey, only continuous talk about their own financial losses. As Katelyn recalled, there were six children in the Powell family, with Zoey as the oldest.

For them, the financial gain from Zoey’s death outweighed the loss of her presence.

Katelyn responded with a smirk, “Haven’t I provided enough for your family all these years?”

To the Powell family, she had been substantial financial support. Yet it was clear they felt no gratitude.

Zayden asserted confidently, “You offered to help us on your own. We didn’t force you. Now you want to distort the truth by bringing up your past help after you’ve caused a death?”

Vincent looked over at Katelyn thoughtfully.

Technically, the financial support for a student should not have been this burdensome.

Clearly, the family had seen Katelyn as an easy target.

Vincent said sharply, “We will involve a lawyer in this matter. As of now, no culpability has been established, nor is there any evidence that Katelyn is to blame for this tragedy. Yet you exploit your daughter’s death to extort money.”

Katelyn’s glance unintentionally fell on the unconscious Zoey.

If she were conscious to hear her parents now, her heart would surely break.
