Lillian had only been locked in there for two days , yet her mental state was already on the brink of collapse . Ethan's footsteps echoed down the stairwell as he descended . Lillian huddled in the corner , trembling from head to toe . Clack ! The door swung open . Lillian looked up and met Ethan's bloodshot eyes . Her body trembled even harder . " W - What are you doing ?! " she screamed in panic . Ethan didn't answer . Instead , he turned around and stepped aside as two bodyguards wheeled in a man - sized industrial oven . The moment she saw it , Lillian knew exactly what he planned to do . As the oven was opened , the guards yanked her up and strapped her limbs tightly with rope . The door slammed shut . Scorching heat rushed out and engulfed her ! " Ah- ! " She let out a gut - wrenching scream . It felt like thousands of needles were stabbing into her skin . Sweat beaded up but evaporated the instant it emerged . The suffocating heat made her feel like every inch of her flesh was being melted alive . She slammed her fists against the oven door , desperately begging for mercy . But Ethan stood there , unmoved , expressionless , listening to her screams as if they were background noise .

As the guards handled her roughly , some of the delicate skin peeled off entirely . Before she could even catch her breath , a bucket of ice water was dumped over her . The sudden temperature drop shocked her burned skin into deeper agony . This brutal cycle of alternating heat and cold repeated several times until she collapsed like a lifeless heap . " Don't let her die . " That was all Ethan said , coldly , before walking away . Over the next few days , Ethan subjected Lillian to every form of torture . She was tied to a pillar and hit by a moving vehicle . She was forced to crawl barefoot up the steps , each one scattered with shards of broken glass and rusted nails , begging for Olivia's forgiveness . Every torment was a reenactment of Olivia's pain . After days of relentless suffering , the basement door finally opened again . Lillian was taken to a hospital by the bodyguards . Just when she thought they were finally showing mercy , a group of men walked in behind Ethan . She immediately understood what was about to happen . She thrashed and screamed , begging for mercy , but Ethan remained unmoved . " Ethan , please , don't do this ! I'm begging you ! " But he showed no pity . " Isn't this exactly what you once arranged for Olivia ? " he said calmly . " So what are you afraid of now ? " " These men … I picked them specifically . The exact same kind you chose for her . Don't worry , this is just your lesson . " His voice was calm , unnervingly gentle , but to Lillian , it was chilling , so cold it made her blood run ice .

The entire wing was secured under Ethan's control . No matter how much she struggled , screamed , or begged , no help would come . One of them clamped a hand over her mouth . They slapped her across the face , again and again , then roughly tore her clothes apart . Their movements were rough , violent . When they were finally led away by the bodyguards , Lillian was left lying there like a discarded doll . " Ethan … " Barely clothed , Lillian suddenly called out to him . " You can torture me to death , but it won't bring Olivia back . She's gone . She's never coming back ! " On the day of Olivia's memorial , the Sinclair family held a private service at the old estate . Lillian was dragged there under guard , forced to beg for forgiveness before Olivia . Catherine wept uncontrollably as Victor held her upright . She clutched a framed photo of Olivia to her chest , grief etched across every line of her face . Sebastian stood silently to the side , his eyes bloodshot , grief boiling beneath his calm expression . Lillian looked at them and suddenly let out a bitter laugh . " You Sinclairs really are natural - born actors . When she was alive , you couldn't be bothered to care . And now that she's dead , here you are , putting on this pitiful little show . " " Anyone who didn't know better might actually think you cared . But I know the truth - you're the ones who truly killed her . " Sebastian snapped . He lunged forward and grabbed Lillian by the throat , his voice shaking with fury as he growled between clenched teeth . " Lillian , during all this time , you still feel no remorse ?! " Lillian laughed hoarsely , the sound echoing through the mourning hall . Her voice , twisted and venomous , sounded like the whisper of a ghost . She looked up at Olivia's portrait on the altar , her face twisted in rage and madness . " Remorse ? You're the ones who should be drowning in it .

" " I wasn't her childhood friend . I wasn't the sister she protected with her life for over twenty years . Whatever hatred she had for me , it could never compare to what she must've felt toward you . " Suddenly , as if possessed by some final burst of strength , Lillian broke free of her restraints . She grabbed a nearby candleholder and hurled it at Victor and Catherine . The old estate's wooden walls and the flammable cloth around the altar caught fire almost instantly . Within seconds , flames engulfed the entire room . Lillian stood in the chaos , holding the candleholder , laughing wildly as fire consumed everything around them . " If we're repenting , " she said with glee , " then let's all go down together . No one escapes .
